As the parent company of Big Commerce, Feedonomics, and Makeswift, we connect the tools and systems that power growth, enabling businesses to unlock the full potential of their data, deliver seamless and personalized experiences across every channel, and adapt swiftly to an ever-changing market.

We believe in harnessing AI responsibly to unlock new possibilities, and we’re looking for individuals who use it intentionally to solve problems, accelerate outcomes, and expand what’s possible in their role. Our purpose is to help businesses confidently solve complex commerce challenges so they can build smarter, adapt faster, and grow on their own terms. If you want to be part of a team of bold builders, sharp thinkers, and technical trailblazers who shape the future of commerce, this is the place for you.

This role will evaluate, negotiate, and optimize the way our company spends. Partners closely with business stakeholders and vendors across the organization to deliver the insights and agreements that shape how we buy.

* Partner cross-functionally with Finance, Legal, IT, and business unit leaders to align sourcing strategies with company priorities and budget targets
* Conduct market research, competitive benchmarking, and total cost of ownership (TCO) analyses to inform sourcing decisions and negotiate better value
* Identify and implement improvements to purchasing processes, policies, and workflows that reduce cycle times, increase compliance, and improve the buying experience
* Collaborate with leadership to surface data-driven recommendations on vendor rationalization, spend optimization, and high-impact sourcing initiatives
* Enthusiastically leverage AI tools and emerging technologies to streamline sourcing workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and unlock new efficiencies across contracting, supplier evaluation, and spend analysis

Who You Are:
* Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Finance, or a related field
* 3+ years of progressive experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, or a related function
* Hands-on experience running RFx processes and managing vendor negotiations across indirect or technology spend categories
* Familiarity with procurement and ERP systems and a willingness to become a power user of our internal tooling is a plus
* Strong analytical skills with the ability to build cost models, evaluate supplier proposals, and translate data into clear recommendations
* Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities, drive work streams independently, and deliver results in a fast-moving environment
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of influencing stakeholders and vendors through data and sound business judgment
* Self-starter with a passion for process improvement and continuous learning, comfortable working independently and collaborating across time zones
* Ability to work in a hybrid environment, with in-person attendance required three days per week at our Austin Domain office
