About the role
Faire's Procurement & Sourcing function launched in January 2026. In its first nine months, the team has redesigned core purchasing workflows, published new procurement and contracts policies, and delivered more than $2M in demonstrable sourcing savings, carried by a single dedicated hire, our Procurement & Sourcing Leader, who has split time between running sourcing engagements directly and building the operational and systems foundation of the function.
What they're looking for
- 4-7 years of experience in sourcing, category management, or procurement, ideally spanning both SaaS/Software and one or more of Marketing or Professional Services categories
- Demonstrated track record negotiating contracts and running competitive sourcing processes (RFPs) that deliver measurable savings
- Hands-on familiarity with procure-to-pay and contract lifecycle management systems (e.g., Zip, Coupa, Ironclad, DocuSign)
- Strong analytical & operational skills, comfortable building cost benchmarks and business cases to support negotiation strategy
- Ability to work cross-functionally with Legal, Finance, and business stakeholders across multiple categories at once
- Comfortable operating with autonomy in a fast-paced, still-forming function — able to bring structure to a negotiation without waiting for it to be handed to you
