📋 Description

• Define and own ShipBob's procurement strategy across multiple categories, growing a function that is proactive, analytically rigorous, and commercially credible. • Manage and develop the procurement team, setting clear performance standards, operating frameworks, and a culture of data-oriented outcome. • Build and sustain executive-level relationships with strategic suppliers, ensuring ShipBob is positioned as an intelligent, sophisticated buyer across all categories. • Facilitate the most complex and commercially significant negotiations across ShipBob's supplier base in technology, facilities, and corporate services. • Design and execute structured RFx processes with full analytical rigor: market intelligence, benchmarking, scenario modelling, supplier assessment, and documented recommendation with supporting evidence. • Develop category strategies that are grounded in market data, total cost of ownership analysis, and ShipBob's operational requirements not historical spend patterns. • Build and maintain a vendor performance management framework with defined KPIs, governance cadence, and escalation protocols that hold suppliers accountable without creating adversarial relationships. • Review, redline, and negotiate contractual agreements across all categories ensuring favorable commercial terms, appropriate risk allocation, and long-term value protection. • Partner closely with Finance, Legal, Operations, and Technology to ensure procurement choices are integrated into ShipBob's planning and budget cycles. • Partner as needed with ShipBob's transportation and partner network procurement functions, coordinating across category boundaries while this role focuses on indirect, technology, facilities, corporate, and professional services spend. • Drive procurement process scalability, building systems, tools, and workflows that support ShipBob's growth without linear headcount growth in the function. • Facilitate change management initiatives required to implement process and structural improvements, including stakeholder alignment, communication, and adoption tracking. • Ensure compliance with ShipBob's SOX, SOC II, and other regulatory requirements as they apply to the procurement function. • Use data analytics, industry benchmarking, and strategic sourcing methodologies to continuously identify and capture cost savings, risk reduction, and value-creation opportunities. • Additional duties and responsibilities as necessary.

🎯 Requirements

• Minimum 10 years of progressive procurement experience, with at least 3 years in a senior leadership role with direct management responsibility. • Proven track record leading strategic procurement across multiple categories, particularly technology/SaaS/AI, indirect, and professional services. • Demonstrated ability to manage complex, high-value negotiations with outcomes supported by documented market intelligence, benchmarking, and total cost analysis, not intuition alone. • Experience building or significantly upgrading a procurement function: establishing operating frameworks, performance standards, and team capability in a fast-growth environment, including leading the cultural shift toward compliance and disciplined review rather than speed alone. • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Finance, or related field; MBA or CPSM/CPM preferred. • High EQ and executive presence. Credible at the CFO and SVP level, able to translate complex commercial situations into clear recommendations and influence choices without direct authority. • Analytically rigorous. Every recommendation is supported by data, benchmarking, and documented study. • Strong problem-solving and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple high-priority workstreams simultaneously in a complex, rapidly changing environment. • Hands-on and adaptable. Comfortable rolling up sleeves and operating without a large support structure, flexing readily to changing priorities given the small team size. • Deep understanding of US market dynamics, contract structures, cost drivers, and supplier landscape across multiple categories. • Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Able to write a clear, well-structured recommendation memo as readily as running a negotiation room. • Ability to cover core US hours with availability for occasional international coordination. • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite; experience with P2P platforms such as ZipHQ preferred; comfort working with AI, data tools and BI platforms.
