We are looking for a tech-savvy procurement professional who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, leverages AI and modern tools to drive operational velocity, and thinks beyond immediate renewal dates to build long-term vendor strategies.

- Continuously seek opportunities to optimize the end-to-end Procure-to-Pay (P2P) cycle, reducing deal turnaround time without compromising quality or compliance.
- End-to-End Deal Execution & Negotiation
- Lead commercial and price negotiations for global, high-value supplier contracts (SaaS, Cloud, Software, and Professional Services), securing optimal commercial terms and cost savings for PagerDuty.
- Partner seamlessly with Legal, Security, and Finance teams to negotiate terms (MSAs, DPAs, SOWs) to mitigate risk while expediting deal completion.
- Utilize P2P and Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) software tools (e.g., Coupa) to manage end-to-end contracting and spend workflows.
