• Creating and monitoring procurement KPI’s/metrics.  You will develop metrics to measure procurement’s impact on the organization and track progress to goals.

You Have:

• Risen through the ranks as a procurement analyst/manager yourself, and now have 6+ years of experience in sourcing, negotiations and/or procurement operations.
• Deep knowledge of, and experience negotiating with many of the key, strategic vendors typical of a high-growth, SaaS technology company
• Experience building and/or scaling procurement teams, tools, and processes in a high-growth, dynamic environment.

You Are:

• A thoughtful collaborator, and great listener, keenly focused on understanding business challenges, building strong relationships and driving even stronger outcomes

• An excellent communicator capable of translating complex, nuanced, or detailed analysis into clear, actionable summaries or recommendations.
• Extremely organized, comfortable in ambiguity, and highly adaptable while creating clarity and focus in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
