About The Position

We are looking for a high-energy Procurement Analyst to join our Strategic Sourcing team. The Procurement Analyst plays a vital role in supporting the organization's sourcing and procurement operations through data analysis, process optimization, and supplier performance evaluation. You will navigate the complexities of a hyper-growth software environment. This role will focus on optimizing SaaS stacks, negotiating with cutting-edge vendors, and moving at the speed of a deployment cycle.

Requirements

The Experience: 3–5 years in procurement or strategic sourcing, ideally within a high-growth tech environment or a fast-paced consultancy.
Tech Stack: You’re proficient with modern procurement tools (e.g., Coupa, Zip).
Working Style: You understand the pace of the Software industry. You are comfortable with ambiguity and can pivot as fast as our product roadmap does.
Knowledge Base: You can explain a "Net-30" vs. "Net-60" payment term to a developer and a "Co-termination" strategy to a CFO with equal clarity.
A Negotiator: You have a "get it done" attitude and a track record of achieving significant cost avoidance without burning vendor bridges.

Responsibilities

Strategic Sourcing: Lead the end-to-end procurement motions for various departments, with a heavy focus on SaaS, Cloud Infrastructure (AWS/GCP), and Professional Services.
Data Alchemy: Analyze complex spend data to identify savings opportunities, vendor consolidation points, and process bottlenecks.
Negotiation & Contract Management: Partner with Legal to get the best Commercial and Legal terms.
Stakeholder Partnership: Become a trusted advisor to internal teams to ensure they have the tools they need to innovate, without the bureaucratic headache.
Lifecycle Management: Partner with the rest of the Procurement team on the "Source-to-Pay" lifecycle, ensuring our internal systems (ZIP, Netsuite, etc.) are accurate and efficient.
