From Senior Procurement Manager to Director-Ready in 100 Days
You already know you're capable of director-level work.
But somehow, the promotion still hasn't happened.

A 100-day sprint designed to help senior procurement managers become director-ready and create real momentum toward procurement director roles.
  • Conversations every day
  • Interviews every week
  • Director-ready in 100 days
Only 10 founding spots available. Applications close 30 June 2026.
You've Outgrown the Role
You've spent years delivering results. Taking ownership. Solving hard problems. Keeping things moving when others struggle.
You already operate at a higher level than your title suggests.
But somehow, the promotion still hasn't happened.
Peers. Sometimes even juniors. Move ahead.
Not because they work harder.
Because they're seen differently.
Sound Familiar?
Watching peers, and even juniors, get promoted while you stay stuck.
Doing Director-level work without Director-level recognition.
Wondering if internal growth is even possible

Director roles are won on visibility, positioning, and executive presence. Capability alone is no longer enough.
The External Market Has Changed
If you haven’t interviewed in years, the entire hiring game has changed while you were busy delivering results.
ATS Filters
Strong candidates filtered out before recruiters see them
LinkedIn Visibility
Recruiter searchability now determines who gets noticed
Executive Presence
Operational resumes undersell strategic leadership value
Strategic Networking
Cold applications rarely lead to director-level interviews

Stuck internally. Lost externally. You just need to position yourself like a director candidate in today's market.
The Problem Isn't Effort.
Most senior procurement managers don't need to work harder.
They need a system that helps them think, position, communicate, and operate like director candidates.
The 5C Framework
Built after 22+ years inside a Fortune 50 multinational hiring, interviewing, coaching, and developing procurement talent globally, this system helps senior procurement managers become genuinely director-ready.
Five disciplines. One system.

  • Interviews every week
  • Director-ready in 100 days

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this sprint for?
Senior procurement managers inside multinational companies who feel ready for director-level work, but are not yet being seen, positioned, or interviewed like director candidates.


What if I haven't interviewed in years?
That's exactly why this exists. We rebuild your positioning, resume, LinkedIn presence, recruiter outreach, and interview confidence step by step.


Is this for internal promotion or external roles?
This sprint is designed specifically for senior procurement managers to start landing external director-level interviews consistently.


What if I'm already very experienced?
Good. This is not basic career advice. The work is about turning your experience into clear director-level positioning that hiring leaders recognize quickly.


What if I don't have time?
You'll need consistent execution, not hours every day. Plan for 30 to 60 minutes a day during the sprint.
What if I'm not active on LinkedIn?
That's part of the work. We'll build a practical visibility rhythm that fits a senior corporate professional, not influencer-style posting.


What if I don't get 10 interviews in 100 days?
If you do the work and don't land 10 procurement director interviews in 100 days, I keep working with you for free until you do.


What if I start Take Off 25 and don't see the value?
Complete the first 25 days. If you don't believe the sprint can help you become director-ready, request a full refund.


Is this one-to-one or group coaching?
The Founding 10 sprint includes direct support and personalized feedback while we build the first case studies.


What happens after I apply?
I personally review your application. If it looks like a strong fit, you'll receive the next steps to begin Take Off 25.
