About the Role

SimpliSafe is growing a lean, high-impact Procurement team and seeks a Senior Manager, Indirect Sourcing & Procurement to serve as a strategic partner across indirect spend categories, including marketing, technology, professional services, people programs, and operations. Procurement at SimpliSafe is a strategic enabler, customer-obsessed, and focused on decisions that help protect and serve customers better, faster, or more affordably. This role is highly visible and requires flexibility across categories, financial acumen, and the ability to influence senior stakeholders in a fast-moving, growth-oriented environment. It’s an opportunity to build a cross-functional sourcing practice and grow into a future procurement leader.

Responsibilities

• Own sourcing strategy and execution across indirect categories such as marketing/GTM, technology, professional services, HR/people, and operations (real estate is out of scope).
• Build deep partnerships with stakeholders, aligning sourcing strategy with business priorities and SimpliSafe’s broader goals.
• Create, prioritize, and execute category strategies and procurement project pipelines, focusing on value creation (savings, cost avoidance), speed, innovation, and risk mitigation.
• Serve as the team’s go-to generalist across categories, developing enough depth to be a credible advisor while knowing when to loop in specialists.
• Lead RFx processes end-to-end, present negotiation outcomes, build business cases, and influence budget owners and senior leadership through data-driven recommendations.
• Champion strategic procurement across the organization, driving adoption of best practices through influence rather than mandate.
• Collaborate to streamline workflows, improve spend visibility, increase speed-to-market, and strengthen cross-functional execution.
• Flex quickly across categories as business priorities shift, reflecting our lean and nimble operating style.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of strategic sourcing experience as a generalist across multiple indirect categories (e.g., marketing, technology, professional services, HR, operations), ideally at a high-growth B2C or B2B company. Real estate sourcing experience is not required.
• Proven ability to build relationships at all organizational levels, including C-suite partners.
• Demonstrated expertise negotiating complex commercial agreements across varied category types (SaaS, media, agencies, BPO, professional services, analytics, or similar).
• Comfortable moving across categories and context-switching without losing rigor—a generalist mindset rather than deep specialization in a single spend area.
• Meticulous attention to detail combined with the ability to see the big picture 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.
