As a member of our team, you’ll have the opportunity to thrive in a dynamic environment where fostering collaboration, leading with empathy, driving business impact, and inspiring trust are at the heart of everything we do.

Our Opportunity:

You'll spend your time:

  • Leading and managing assigned sourcing, purchasing, and renewal activities for the R&D (Engineering/Product) and GTM  (Marketing) functions, while also supporting other areas when needed. This involves following a documented, collaborative evaluation process, and proactively creating action plans for new purchases and renewals across Marketing, Professional Services, Technology, and SaaS.
  • Analysing spend data to proactively identify cost-saving opportunities and implement strategies to address them.
  • Building strong relationships with stakeholders, collaborating on purchasing strategies, negotiating pricing, and other business terms with suppliers for new purchases and high-value renewals.
  • Developing pricing models based on supplier proposals to assess different buying scenarios in line with future growth and current demand.
  • Helping teams evaluate their purchasing practices and adopt a value-driven mindset when buying on behalf of the organisation.
  • Contributing to ad-hoc projects or other procurement-related tasks as needed.

You should apply if you: 

  • You are smart, hungry and humble with 3+ years of experience in procurement with a focus on strategic sourcing, with a track record of negotiated savings in relevant categories.
  • You’ve worked in a high-growth global company (ideally software) and understand the complexities of expanding offices, managing global initiatives, leveraging purchasing power, and eliminating silos.
  • You’re confident in analysing and presenting complex data to executives and business unit partners.
  • You have the ability to analyse and propose various commercial models ahead of any new purchases and renewals.
  • Highly organised and proactive, you can manage multiple projects at once with a strong bias for action.
  • Have a radical focus on customer service.
  • You’ve built strong partnerships with stakeholders and are skilled at analysing costs related to both growth and current demand.
  • You thrive in ambiguous environments and are comfortable working within grey areas.
  • You understand key optimization levers such as demand management, consolidation, and price negotiation.
  • You demonstrate strong ownership and accountability while managing competing priorities.
  • You have experience in reading and reviewing commercial agreements, in particular spotting issues around term, termination, billing, etc.
