Data Sourcing & Strategy Roles?

Does anyone have any insight into the pathway/day-to-day for a Data Sourcing & Strategy or Vendor Management role? Specifically jumping to one from a data vendor? I've noticed that many of the large MMs have people in these kind of positions, but I have not seen much info on what breaking in entails. Any color is much appreciated!
