About Sardine

About the role

A builder — comfortable creating a process where none exists and willing to do the hands-on work as our first procurement hire.

What they're looking for

  • Deeply experienced in procurement, vendor management, and commercial negotiation in a fast-moving environment
  • A strong negotiator who creates leverage and holds firm on price and terms (payment terms, ramp, and renewal protection) while making practical trade-offs that benefit the company
  • A relationship developer who helps build long-term partners out of our vendors
  • An effective communicator who guides stakeholders through sourcing decisions, aligns them on options and strategy, and keeps purchasing disciplined without slowing teams down
  • Comfortable buying across many categories and departments — software, marketing and events, travel, professional services — and juggling a broad vendor portfolio at once
  • Focused on driving savings and better terms by cutting waste, not just price: consolidating redundant tools and reclaiming unused licenses, and rigorously comparing options in the market
