  • Establish commercial strategies and negotiate agreements that address pricing, service levels, performance expectations, risk allocation, governance, renewals and transition planning.
  • Develop insights and recommendations using spend analysis, market intelligence, supplier assessments, benchmarks and total-cost-of-ownership analysis.
  • Partner with senior stakeholders across Finance, Legal, Trust & Safety, People, IT and Workplace to align sourcing decisions with business needs, financial objectives and risk requirements.
  • Lead, coach and develop a high-performing sourcing team through clear priorities, timely feedback, accountability and growth opportunities.

What we’re looking for:

  • Minimum of 10 years of experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, category management, supply management, commercial strategy or a related field.
  • Minimum of 4 years of experience leading and developing people, including setting expectations, coaching, delivering feedback and managing performance.
  • Experience leading strategic sourcing and category management for substantial indirect, General & Administrative, corporate services, professional services, technology or related spend.
  • Experience leading complex supplier negotiations and structuring commercial agreements that balance cost, quality, service, risk, flexibility and long-term business value.
  • Experience partnering with senior stakeholders across functions and aligning competing business, financial, legal and risk priorities.
  • Experience using spend data, supplier economics, market intelligence and financial analysis to inform category strategies and commercial decisions.
  • Demonstrated experience using AI to accelerate analysis, research or workflow execution, with a clear approach to validating accuracy and quality, protecting sensitive data and maintaining ownership of final decisions and deliverables.
  • Bachelor’s degree in business, supply chain management, finance or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Preferred qualifications:
    • Experience in a technology, platform, SaaS, high-growth, or complex global enterprise environment.
    • Expertise in one or more G&A categories such as professional services, contingent workforce, HR and benefits, finance, legal, insurance, workplace, facilities, travel, or corporate services.
    • Experience with source-to-pay, contract-lifecycle-management, RFx, spend-analytics, supplier-risk, or supplier-performance tools.
    • Experience leading procurement transformation, operating-model design, process improvement, or supplier-governance programs.
    • MBA, JD, CPSM, CIPS, or a related advanced degree or professional certification.

You will have the opportunity to shape a strategically important procurement portfolio at Pinterest, lead consequential commercial decisions, build lasting partnerships with senior business leaders and suppliers, and develop the next generation of sourcing talent.
