Description:
As Flock expands across communities, our indirect spend and vendor landscape require deliberate, strategic structure rather than just transactional oversight. Managing high volumes of requests and renewals across software, hardware, and services creates an opportunity to build a commercial sourcing function that operates with speed and rigor. You will own that shift, taking procurement from a reactive intake workflow into a proactive, data-informed category management practice.
What You'll Own
- Lead end-to-end strategic sourcing events, RFPs, and contract negotiations across SaaS, professional services, IT hardware, and non-product spend.
- Manage high-volume vendor workflows, triaging 30 to 50 monthly requisitions and 100+ annual supplier renewals in Coupa and Omnea.
- Review and redline vendor and company paper in partnership with Legal and InfoSec to protect commercial and data interests.
- Own procurement reporting and analytics, translating Coupa spend data, cycle times, and savings metrics into executive-ready dashboards.
- Partner with stakeholders across Engineering, Finance, Legal, and InfoSec to establish clear sourcing paths and category playbooks.
What This Role Is Not
- This isn't a transactional purchasing role, you'll focus on strategic sourcing, vendor management, and contract negotiation rather than processing routine POs.
- This isn't a single-category position, you will manage spend and supplier relationships across multiple distinct business areas simultaneously.
- This isn't a bureaucratic governance function, you'll build lean, flexible processes that help fast-moving teams move quickly without red tape.
What You Bring
- Hands-on experience leading end-to-end strategic sourcing events and negotiating commercial terms for SaaS, services, or hardware contracts.
- Proficiency with Coupa and advanced Excel capabilities, including VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, pivot tables, and spend reporting.
- Demonstrated ability to review and redline vendor agreements alongside legal teams to identify risk and drive favorable terms.
- Strong self-starter capability to independently identify process improvements, take initiative on upcoming renewals, and make sound decisions with limited information.
- Experience operating within high-growth tech or SaaS environments is a plus.
