## About the role

Xaira is seeking a Procurement Manager at the leading edge of the function — a builder who treats procurement as a commercial engine and a proving ground for AI-enabled operations. You're obsessed with stakeholders: scientists, engineers, and business partners are your customers, and their success is your scoreboard. You'll inherit a strong foundation but you have an obsession to drive the function beyond the empirical high-bar.

## What they're looking for

- Own end-to-end procurement operations: P2P process, sourcing, and technology enablement across all goods and services
- Drive adoption of our contract-first CLM framework while reducing cycle times
- Run procurement as a service business, with stakeholder experience as a core focus
- Support Accounting: PO hygiene, invoice-match resolution, accruals, vendor master data and close activities
- Pilot and scale AI across the lifecycle: contract analysis, spend classification, supplier intelligence, negotiation prep, workflow automation
- Make Xaira's procurement a showcase for AI-augmented operations — measured in cycle time, coverage, and cost
