About the role:

The Senior Manager, Procurement & Sourcing owns Forter's global non-payroll spend lifecycle, from sourcing and negotiation through vendor onboarding, contracting, purchase orders and renewals. Sitting within Finance and reporting to the VP Finance Operations, you will run a high-impact procurement function that protects Forter's margins, accelerates the business with a smooth intake-to-pay experience, and keeps spend, risk and contracts under control as we scale.

You will be a trusted partner to Finance, Legal, Information Security, IT and budget owners across the company, balancing speed and flexibility for the business with strong governance and audit readiness.

What you'll be doing:

Strategic Sourcing & Negotiation

Lead competitive sourcing for software, professional services, travel and other operating spend: requirements, scorecards, RFx, bid evaluation, negotiation and vendor selection
Deliver measurable savings and cost avoidance, and track them against budget
Own the strategic vendor portfolio, including renewal strategy, pricing, SLAs and consolidation of overlapping tools
Manage the renewal pipeline proactively, giving budget owners and Finance early visibility

Procure-to-Pay & Governance

Own the end-to-end procure-to-pay process and the Zip intake-to-pay platform: NDAs, new vendors, renewals, requisitions, POs, approvals and invoices
Maintain and enforce the Procurement Policy: spend approval matrix, PO exemptions, contract signatory authority and exception handling
Partner with Accounts Payable and Accounting on PO compliance, accruals, and invoice and close processes
Define KPIs (cycle time, PO compliance, savings, spend under management, renewal coverage) and report them to Finance leadership

Ensure all purchases are made on approved commercial and legal terms; coordinate MSA, order form and DPA workflows with Legal
Work with Information Security and IT on vendor due diligence and risk tiering
Drive standardization of contract terms, templates and playbooks

Cross-functional Partnership

Serve as the primary procurement point of contact for the VP Finance Operations, CFO, FP&A and department heads
Advise budget owners on build-vs-buy, vendor selection and negotiation strategy
Drive adoption, training and change management so the business uses the process by default

Team Leadership & Continuous Improvement

Lead, mentor and grow the Procurement team (procurement analyst), setting clear goals and priorities
Use AI and automation to streamline intake, contract review, renewal tracking and spend analytics
Work with Business Applications on Zip, NetSuite and related integrations

What you'll need:

8+ years of procurement, sourcing or vendor management experience, ideally in SaaS, fintech or other high-growth technology companies, with strong indirect/software spend exposure
Proven track record leading complex negotiations and delivering measurable savings
2+ years of people management experience, including setting priorities and driving accountability
Hands-on experience with a procure-to-pay platform (Zip or similar) and ERP (NetSuite preferred)
Strong working knowledge of commercial contracts (MSA, order forms, DPA) and experience working with Legal and InfoSec
Experience applying AI-driven automation to procurement workflows
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; confident engaging with executives and budget owners
Strong analytical skills and comfort with spend data, forecasting and reporting
Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution in a lean team

Familiarity with vendor risk and third-party security assessment processes
Experience supporting a global, multi-entity organization
