Senior Manager, Procurement

About SimpliSafe

We’re a high-tech home security company that’s passionate about protecting the life you’ve built and our mission of keeping Every Home Secure. And we’ve created a culture here that cares just as deeply about the career you’re building. Ours is a no ego culture of collaboration and innovation where those seeking their next challenge can find big opportunities and make a huge impact on the lives of all those who we protect. We don’t just want you to work here. We want you to grow and thrive here.

We’re embracing a hybrid work model that enables our teams to split their time between office and home. Hybrid for us means we expect our teams to come together in our state-of-the-art office on two core days, typically Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday – working together in person and choosing where they work for the remainder of the week. We all benefit from flexibility and get to use the best of both worlds to get our work done.

Why are we hiring?

Well, we’re growing and thriving. So, we need smart, talented, and humble people who share our values to join us as we disrupt the home security space and relentlessly pursue our mission of keeping Every Home Secure.

At SimpliSafe, Procurement operates as a strategic enabler, not a transactional function. We are an agile team focused on high-impact, high-visibility initiatives that support our company’s most important objectives. We deliver value through operational excellence, trusted business partnerships, expert category management, and a “make-it-happen” mindset.

This is a highly visible role that will shape how SimpliSafe invests in customer acquisition, brand storytelling, and world-class service operations. The ideal candidate brings a blend of procurement expertise, financial acumen, intellectual curiosity, exceptional interpersonal and presentation skills, and the ability to influence change within a dynamic, growth-oriented environment. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated self-starter to make a meaningful impact and emerge as a high-potential future leader.

Key Responsibilities

• Create, prioritize, and execute category strategies and procurement project pipelines with a focus on value creation (savings and cost avoidance), speed, innovation, and risk mitigation.
• Become the internal subject-matter expert across categories such as media, creative agencies, martech/adtech platforms, professional services, data providers, and BPO/outsourcing partners.
• Lead RFx processes, present negotiation outcomes, build business cases, and influence budget owners and senior leadership through data-driven recommendations.
• Serve as a visible and credible champion of strategic procurement within a fast-moving commercial organization.
• Drive adoption of procurement best practices through influence rather than mandate, helping stakeholders move quickly while improving compliance and governance.
• Collaborate with teams across the CFO Org to streamline workflows, enhance spend visibility, increase speed-to-market, and strengthen cross-functional execution.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of strategic sourcing experience, ideally supporting GTM functions (marketing, sales, service operations) at a high-growth B2C or B2B company.
• Proven ability to build relationships at all organizational levels, including C-suite partners.
• Demonstrated expertise negotiating complex commercial agreements (SaaS, BPO, media, agencies, analytics, or similar).
• Meticulous attention to detail combined with the ability to see the forest through the trees and turn analysis into actionable recommendations.
• Exceptional communication, executive-level presentation, and interpersonal skills.
• Strong change management skills - ability to influence without authority, drive new behaviors, and navigate ambiguity.
• Effective project manager with the ability to own and deliver initiatives end-to-end with minimal supervision.
• Financial and analytical acumen with the ability to analyze complex spend categories, evaluate investments, model scenarios, and articulate trade-offs to senior stakeholders.
• MBA or relevant master’s degree is a plus.
