Procurement Lead

We're seeking a Procurement Lead to oversee the commercial and vendor-management function for Supabase. You'll manage cloud and SaaS vendor relationships end-to-end, including AWS, GCP, Cloudflare, CloudQuery, and ClickHouse. This involves leading negotiations and renewals, enforcing procurement governance, and applying the VIA operating model to maintain disciplined vendor spend.

As a lead role in the Procurement function, you'll define the operating model, source of truth for vendor spend, and standards. This FinOps role requires fluency in both finance and engineering, with the ability to thrive in async, fast-moving environments.

Responsibilities:

• Own and manage vendor relationships, including renewals and negotiations with Finance and Legal.
• Enforce procurement governance, including competitive-bid processes and managed-procurement partnerships.
• Build and manage a high-trust team culture in a remote-first, globally distributed environment.
• Manage team delivery and accountability, including roadmap and project management.
• Drive commercial VIA, focusing on spend visibility, unit economics, and realized savings.
• Develop reporting and governance, including vendor and SaaS cost reporting.
• Coordinate the cloud efficiency program, optimizing initiatives and tracking savings.

Requirements:

• 8+ years of experience in vendor/commercial management, procurement, FinOps, or technical/financial analysis at a senior level.
• Proven experience in owning vendor relationships, contract negotiations, and renewals.
• Experience with procurement governance, such as competitive-bid processes and benchmark analysis.
• Strong judgment and ability to drive alignment without positional authority.
• Hands-on experience building cost dashboards and reporting using SQL and BI tools.
• Comfortable with vendor and cloud spend data, licensing/usage analysis, and communicating across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience working in async or globally distributed teams.

What We Offer:

• Fully remote work environment.
• ESOP (equity ownership) for all team members.
• Tech allowance for setting up your ideal work environment.
• 100% health insurance coverage for employees and 80% for dependents.
• Annual off-sites for team connection and collaboration.
• Flexible work arrangements and professional development opportunities.
