Sr. Director, National Procurement

Responsibilities

• Own Opendoor's national procurement strategy and team.
• Define the roadmap for how Opendoor sources, contracts, and manages spend across both direct categories (renovation materials, general contractors, field services) and indirect categories (technology, AI/SaaS, professional services, corporate spend).
• Build deep, strategic partnerships with Tier 1 vendors, establishing shared goals, business review cadences, and performance frameworks that move relationships from transactional to collaborative and create mutual accountability for quality, reliability, and cost.
• Set a high bar for the procurement team and for the function itself. Refine and build the policies, workflows, and systems that enable a national, high-volume operation to move with speed and rigor.
• Make spend data effortless to access and act on. Build the analytics infrastructure and dashboards that give Finance, business leadership and the executive team real-time visibility across all spend categories, contracts, and vendor performance.
• Convert fragmented local purchasing into leveraged national contracts. Lead competitive sourcing processes and negotiate national agreements with materials suppliers, general contractors, AI platform providers, and SaaS vendors, consolidating vendor fragmentation to drive cost savings that flow directly to unit economics.
• Develop market-level supply strategies that support growth. Build sourcing plans that account for regional cost variation, purchase commitments, contractor capacity, and seasonal demand patterns, ensuring supply availability never becomes a constraint on acquisition pace.
• Own procurement's contribution to the P&L and present trade-offs clearly to the CFO, COO and executive team.

Requirements

• 12+ years in procurement or strategic sourcing, with leadership across both direct and indirect spend, and a track record of building partnerships that outlast any single contract cycle.
• Experience optimizing a procurement function: you know how to take a team and a toolset that's in place and make both meaningfully better.
• A technology-forward operating style: you use data, automation, and AI tools to run procurement. Hands-on use of AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot) to improve workflows and automate processes.
• Deep experience negotiating strategic national contracts across direct spend (general contractors, materials suppliers, field services) and indirect spend (technology, AI platforms, professional services), with a focus on shared outcomes, not just unit price.
• Strong financial acumen: you understand unit economics and the P&L impact of procurement decisions, and can present trade-offs clearly to a CFO and other key stakeholders.
• Familiarity with procurement and spend management platforms (e.g., Ramp, Coupa, Ariba, Zip) and a point of view on how to get more out of them.
• The executive presence, communication skills, and cross-functional credibility to work daily across Ops, Engineering, Finance, Legal, and IT.

Qualifications

• Real estate, proptech, or home services background. You understand renovation supply chains, contractor relationships, and how procurement decisions ripple through transaction economics.
• Experience with Ramp.
• Experience with NetSuite.
