About the role
As B-Stock's first dedicated procurement hire, you will own how we buy: every software renewal, new tool request, and indirect services contract across the company. Your job is to make sure we pay the right price for the right scope, and that every dollar of vendor spend has a clear business case behind it. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years in procurement, strategic sourcing, vendor management, or a finance/operations role where you personally negotiated software and services contracts
- Track record of measurable savings. You can point to specific renewals you negotiated down and explain how you did it
- Strong commercial and analytical skills: you model total cost of ownership, read usage data, compare pricing structures, and build a business case in a spreadsheet
- Experience building processes from scratch: intake, approval workflows, playbooks, and templates that other teams actually adopt
- Hands-on experience applying AI tools within analytical or operating workflows to build automations or multi-step processes, and comfort quickly adopting new AI capabilities as they emerge
