Full Job Description

This role will evaluate, negotiate, and optimize the way our company spends. Partners closely with business stakeholders and vendors across the organization to deliver the insights and agreements that shape how we buy.

This is an ideal role for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, takes initiative without waiting for direction, and gets energized by turning a messy vendor landscape into a streamlined, cost-effective supply base. You'll own critical sourcing workstreams from day one and have direct impact on the tools, services, and partnerships that power our business.

What You'll Do:

  • Lead end-to-end RFx processes — including RFIs, RFPs, and RFQs — from requirements gathering and supplier identification through evaluation, selection, and award

  • Own the contract renewal lifecycle across assigned categories, proactively managing timelines, surfacing risks, and driving favorable outcomes before deadlines arrive

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with vendors and internal stakeholders, acting as a trusted partner to the business on purchasing decisions and supplier performance

  • Partner cross-functionally with Finance, Legal, IT, and business unit leaders to align sourcing strategies with company priorities and budget targets

  • Conduct market research, competitive benchmarking, and total cost of ownership (TCO) analyses to inform sourcing decisions and negotiate better value

  • Identify and implement improvements to purchasing processes, policies, and workflows that reduce cycle times, increase compliance, and improve the buying experience

  • Collaborate with leadership to surface data-driven recommendations on vendor rationalization, spend optimization, and high-impact sourcing initiatives

  • Enthusiastically leverage AI tools and emerging technologies to streamline sourcing workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and unlock new efficiencies across contracting, supplier evaluation, and spend analysis

Who You Are:

  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Finance, or a related field

  • 3+ years of progressive experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, or a related function

  • Hands-on experience running RFx processes and managing vendor negotiations across indirect or technology spend categories

  • Familiarity with procurement and ERP systems and a willingness to become a power user of our internal tooling is a plus

  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to build cost models, evaluate supplier proposals, and translate data into clear recommendations

  • Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities, drive workstreams independently, and deliver results in a fast-moving environment

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of influencing stakeholders and vendors through data and sound business judgment

  • Self-starter with a passion for process improvement and continuous learning, comfortable working independently and collaborating across time zones

  • Ability to work in a hybrid environment, with in-person attendance required three days per week at our Austin Domain office
