IT Procurement Manager

AT A GLANCE

We're looking for an IT Procurement Manager to lead our procurement function, overseeing purchasing and vendor spend across all categories for the organization. Software and SaaS spend is a significant and fast-growing part of that portfolio, so hands-on experience negotiating software/SaaS and AI/ML agreements is essential to this role.

What You’ll Do

• Own procurement operations for the organization, with software and contractor/services agreements as the largest and most active portion of the portfolio, including SaaS, AI/ML tools, and enterprise platforms, tracking renewals, utilization, and performance against contract terms, with a focus on cost minimization and spend optimization.
• Evaluate software licensing models (per-seat, usage-based, consumption, enterprise agreements) to identify savings and reduce shelfware.
• Oversee contracted labor sourcing and SOW management, ensuring statements of work are clearly scoped, priced appropriately, and aligned to business requirements before execution.
• Negotiate pricing, terms, and service levels directly with suppliers; hold vendors accountable to contractual commitments.
• Manage, coach, and develop a small purchasing team, distributing workload and ensuring consistent execution of intake, sourcing, and contracting.
• Set priorities and manage day-to-day team workflow using JIRA boards.
• Serve as the team's primary user/purchasing contact for Oracle Fusion (procurement, POs, vendor records), Navan (T&E), Jira/Asana (renewals, intake, portfolio tracking), and FreshService (ticketing).
• Partner with Business Operations, Technology/IT, Legal, and Security/Compliance across the contract lifecycle, from vendor evaluation through redlines, risk mitigation, and compliance sign-off.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of purchasing, procurement, or contract management experience, with strong emphasis on software/SaaS and contracted-services categories (rather than materials/goods procurement).
• Demonstrated experience negotiating and managing software agreements, including AI/ML vendor contracts, with strong vendor management skills and strategies to control and optimize software spend.
• Experience managing or mentoring a team.
• Experience developing, reviewing, or managing SOWs for contracted labor/services vendors.
• Hands-on experience with Oracle Fusion (or a comparable ERP/procurement platform).
• Experience managing or administering a T&E platform (Navan experience strongly preferred).
• Comfort working with tools like Asana, FreshService, and JIRA for portfolio tracking, intake, and team workflow.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, with proven experience working alongside Legal, Security, Compliance, Business Operations, and Technology teams.
• PREFERRED: Familiarity with software cost optimization techniques (license true-ups, usage audits, consolidation opportunities, negotiating multi-year vs. annual terms).
• PREFERRED: Experience standing up or improving intake and workflow processes across Asana, FreshService, and JIRA.
