The Role

As we continue to scale, we are seeking an experienced Director of Procurement to lead the maturation of our existing Procurement function. Building on a strong foundation, this role is focused on evolving our procure-to-pay operations, deepening cross-functional partnerships, and driving greater efficiency, compliance, and cost discipline across the organization. You will serve as the operational and strategic lead for how the business purchases goods and services — ensuring that speed and innovation are never sacrificed at the expense of governance and risk management.

You and your team will partner closely with Finance, Legal, Security, Privacy, GRC, and Business Systems to support complex software contracts, AI tools, professional services, and infrastructure spend.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in environments where the foundation exists, but the opportunity to optimize, scale, and elevate is significant.
