Deep fluency in tech commercial models: SaaS subscription metrics, cloud consumption/compute pricing, enterprise software licensing, and vendor discount structures.
A strong track record negotiating large, complex enterprise technology agreements (major vendors such as Microsoft, Oracle, Workday, etc.).
Experience navigating the shift from license-based to consumption-based commercial models.
Exceptional influencing and stakeholder management skills — you'll need to hold the line with senior cross-functional leaders across the business.
Experience building and leading geographically dispersed teams.
Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field.
Based in or able to work regularly from our Boston, MA headquarters.

Build out a formal RFP strategy and process for large-spend negotiations.
Lead, develop, and help shape the structure of a high-performing global procurement team spanning the US, India, Romania, Brazil, and Europe.
Leverage modern procurement technology and analytics — including AI — to surface process improvements and vendor insights, and own PTC's vendor data governance model.
Partner closely with Finance, Legal, and IT/R&D leadership to align priorities, streamline the third-party technology landscape, and keep stakeholders across the business informed on the status of major negotiations.
Advance responsible sourcing practices, including supplier diversity, sustainability, and regulatory compliance.
