Renewals Manager, Indirect Procurement
About The Position
As the Renewals Manager, you will own Everlaw's rolling pipeline of internal SaaS and IT contract renewals. Your primary goal will be to ensure no agreement lapses into an unfavorable auto-renewal while driving cost savings through usage analysis and license right-sizing. You will partner closely with internal teams across Engineering, IT, HR, and Marketing to manage the day-to-day commercial lifecycle for expiring vendor contracts and build disciplined, data-backed renewal processes. This is a full-time, non-exempt position based in our Oakland, CA office with a hybrid work schedule: in office M/W/Th with the option to work from home on Tu/Fr.
Requirements
- At least 5 years of progressive procurement experience, ideally within a fast-growing technology or software environment.
- Managed end-to-end renewal pipelines.
- Experience establishing or refining procurement functions across multi-location organizations.
- Strong data analysis skills and a track record of using usage metrics to build reduction cases and right-size software agreements.
- Effective communication skills across all organizational levels, building collaborative cross-functional relationships with Legal, Security, IT, and Finance teams.
- Process-oriented with high attention to detail, managing contract hygiene and critical notice windows across a high-volume portfolio.

Responsibilities
- Maintain a rolling 12-month renewal calendar, initiating cycles 90–120 days prior to expiration to prevent unintended auto-renewals or contract lapses.
- Analyze utilization data alongside IT Asset Management to identify unused seats, over-provisioned tiers, and shelfware before setting negotiation targets.
- Negotiate in-scope software and IT renewals using established playbooks, benchmarks, and pre-approved fallback positions to limit uplifts and secure favorable terms.
- Coordinate cross-functional reviews across Legal, Security, IT, Compliance, and FP&A to confirm data privacy, security, and budget approvals prior to execution.
- Administer procurement software systems (specifically ZIP) and maintain accurate contract records, renewal dates, spend data, and savings metrics in the system of record.
