RavenPack manages roughly 250-300 vendors, the large majority of them software and SaaS subscriptions used globally. Most requests originate internally, so the focus is on executing them well (securing the right terms, documentation, and approvals) rather than running large market tenders. Reporting to the CFO, you will work closely with Legal, Compliance, and IT, each of which reviews vendors from its own perspective, and with the requesting teams, who bring the product knowledge. We already operate a modern, AI-driven procurement platform, and you will help refine and build on it as our processes evolve.

Support IT Operations in negotiations for larger technical purchases, such as infrastructure. Manage the renewal calendar, engaging department heads ahead of renewal dates to review usage, right-size licenses, and renegotiate where appropriate. Prepare and process purchase orders and contracts, ensuring documentation is accurate, complete, and compliant with company policies. Maintain vendor records and procurement documentation within the procurement platform. Monitor vendor performance and manage ongoing supplier relationships, including SLAs where applicable. Identify cost-saving opportunities across the vendor portfolio, such as consolidating overlapping tools, removing unused licenses, and improving contract terms.
