# CPO Chief of Staff

**Folder:** Procurement / Chief Procurement Officer / Chief of Staff

## What does it do?

A Chief Procurement Officer orchestrates sourcing, category management, and supplier strategy. The connective tissue slips: decisions and savings commitments that aren't driven to closure.

This agent runs the rhythm: it preps procurement and board reviews, tracks the savings pipeline and commitments, drives them to closure, and surfaces what needs the CPO.

## Benefits

- Procurement operating cadence on track.
- Savings pipeline tracked.
- Board prep assembled.
- Commitments driven to closure.
- Surfaces what needs the CPO.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — Calendar and Gmail, a procurement/Sheets tool, Slack.
• Skill — a procurement-cadence skill with review and savings agendas.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Run it weekly ("prep my procurement review and show savings and open commitments"). It returns the pack, savings status, and the short list.
