Procurement Senior Manager

Procurement Process Ownership:

• Own the end-to-end procurement workflow: intake, vendor selection, negotiation, compliance review, contract execution, and repository management.
• Manage daily requisition approvals in Coupa, ensuring deals move efficiently through security, legal, and finance checkpoints without getting stuck.
• Maintain Productiv as the contract repository of record; ensure all executed contracts are uploaded and metadata is current.

Vendor Negotiations:

• Lead commercial negotiations on SaaS, PaaS, cloud infrastructure, hardware, and facilities contracts -- pricing, terms, SOWs, and Master Agreements.
• Drive cost reduction through vendor consolidation, volume discount negotiations, and contract restructuring.
• Partner with Legal on redlines and final review; your job is to arrive at Legal with commercial terms already locked, not to use Legal as the negotiation team.

Process and AI Optimization:

• Audit existing procurement workflows and identify friction points -- approvals that stall, handoffs that break, renewals that sneak up.
• Lead the adoption of AI and automation tools to accelerate procurement operations -- contract review, renewal tracking, spend analysis.
• Ensure process documentation is current and the procurement policy is enforced consistently across the company.
