About Xaira Therapeutics

The Role

Xaira is seeking a Procurement Manager at the leading edge of the function — a builder who treats procurement as a commercial engine and a proving ground for AI-enabled operations. You're obsessed with stakeholders: scientists, engineers, and business partners are your customers, and their success is your scoreboard. You'll inherit a strong foundation but you have an obsession to drive the function beyond the empirical high-bar.

What You'll Do

Operations Leadership

Own end-to-end procurement operations: P2P process, sourcing, and technology enablement across all goods and services
Drive adoption of our contract-first CLM framework while reducing cycle times
Run procurement as a service business, with stakeholder experience as a core focus
Support Accounting: PO hygiene, invoice-match resolution, accruals, vendor master data and close activities

AI Enablement

Pilot and scale AI across the lifecycle: contract analysis, spend classification, supplier intelligence, negotiation prep, workflow automation
Make Xaira's procurement a showcase for AI-augmented operations — measured in cycle time, coverage, and cost
Translate the emerging procure-tech landscape into practical and adopted tooling

Supplier Engagement & Negotiations

Lead sourcing events and negotiations across core life-sciences suppliers
Structure agreements that protect Xaira's flexibility: competitive tension, cancellation frameworks and leading engagement terms
Build supplier relationships that scale: performance management, risk monitoring and strategic partnerships

Procure-Tech, Data & Analytics

Drive build-vs-buy decisions across the stack (P2P, CLM, sourcing, cost savings/avoidance) with an emphasis toward lean, high-leverage solutions
Build spend analytics that turn data into decisions: category insights, supplier concentration, budget-to-actual
Own data integrity across procurement and P2P systems

What You Bring

5+ years in procurement, strategic sourcing, or supply chain; biotech, pharma, or high-growth tech preferred
Proven negotiation results on complex service agreements (CRO, services, and technology)
Hands-on with modern procurement tools (Ironclad, Coupa, NetSuite, Ramp) and curiosity about what replaces them
Practical AI fluency applied to real workflows — you can point to processes you've automated
Strong analytics: spend analysis, dashboarding, supplier ecosystems, advanced metrics and analytics giving Xaira leverage as a competitive advantage among Xaira’s peer group
Stakeholder obsession - Building trust through accountability and delivery making Procurement an invaluable business partnership
Concise, executive-ready communication
Entrepreneurial: you find the gap, propose the fix, and ship it

Why This Role Matters

Every dollar and every week Procurement saves is capacity redirected toward discovering new medicines. If you want to build the most advanced Procurement function in biotech, this is the seat.
