14h • Remote

About The Position

Tebra is seeking a Senior Manager of Procurement to independently manage the entire procurement lifecycle for a healthcare SaaS company with approximately $200M in revenue. This role involves overseeing a substantial vendor portfolio, including over $5M in contracts set to renew within the next six months, covering categories such as SaaS, cloud infrastructure, security, and professional services. The Senior Manager will report to the VP of Accounting and collaborate closely with Legal, Finance, IT Security, and various business leaders. The position demands a blend of operational discipline and commercial acumen, requiring the successful candidate to run procurement operations rather than merely coordinate them. The ideal candidate will be comfortable managing a complex vendor portfolio autonomously, adept at navigating deals through security, legal, and finance approvals efficiently, and enthusiastic about leveraging AI and automation to enhance the speed and intelligence of the procurement function.

Requirements

• 5+ years of procurement experience in a SaaS or technology company environment.
• Demonstrated track record of leading and closing commercial negotiations on SaaS, cloud, and services contracts.
• Experience managing the full procurement compliance stack: IT security review, legal redlines, finance approvals, and signature workflows.
• Hands-on experience with spend management platforms; Coupa and Productiv experience is a strong plus.
• Proven ability to drive vendor consolidation and cost savings with measurable results.
• Strong written and verbal communication -- able to represent Tebra's position clearly in vendor negotiations and give Finance leadership a clean read on spend and risk.
• Comfortable working independently in a lean structure where you own outcomes, not just tasks.

Nice To Haves

• Experience using AI tools to accelerate procurement workflows: contract review, renewal tracking, spend analysis, vendor research.
• Background supporting a PE-backed company where cost discipline and process rigor are expected, not optional.
• Familiarity with HIPAA-adjacent vendor compliance requirements in a healthcare technology environment.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end procurement workflow: intake, vendor selection, negotiation, compliance review, contract execution, and repository management.
• Manage daily requisition approvals in Coupa, ensuring deals move efficiently through security, legal, and finance checkpoints without getting stuck.
• Maintain Productiv as the contract repository of record; ensure all executed contracts are uploaded and metadata is current.
• Run a proactive renewal calendar -- no contract auto-renews without a deliberate keep / renegotiate / exit decision made in advance.
• Lead commercial negotiations on SaaS, PaaS, cloud infrastructure, hardware, and facilities contracts -- pricing, terms, SOWs, and Master Agreements.
• Drive cost reduction through vendor consolidation, volume discount negotiations, and contract restructuring.
• Partner with Legal on redlines and final review; arrive at Legal with commercial terms already locked.
• Manage vendor relationships through renewal cycles and escalate risks to Finance and Legal leadership as needed.
• Serve as the primary procurement interface for department heads -- guide them through vendor selection, intake, and compliance requirements.
• Support business owners on active negotiations where the relationship or complexity warrants procurement involvement; step back where business owners can own the commercial relationship directly.
• Coordinate compliance reviews -- collect required documentation from vendors and route through the appropriate approval channels.
• Own SaaS spend data in Productiv and Coupa; produce regular reporting for Finance leadership on vendor spend, renewal exposure, consolidation opportunities, and realized savings.
• Identify and flag overlapping or underutilized vendor contracts proactively.
• Provide input to the rolling forecast process on procurement-driven OPEX timing and vendor consolidation savings.
• Audit existing procurement workflows and identify friction points -- approvals that stall, handoffs that break, renewals that sneak up.
• Lead the adoption of AI and automation tools to accelerate procurement operations -- contract review, renewal tracking, spend analysis.
• Ensure process documentation is current and the procurement policy is enforced consistently across the company.
