We’re on a mission to transform how companies use data. Come be a part of our journey!

We are looking for a Sourcing Specialist to join our Procurement team. In this role you will own sourcing and negotiation for purchases across multiple spend categories, guide requests end-to-end through our procurement process, and use spend data to shape where we go after savings next.

This is a hands‑on, high-ownership role with a lot of internal visibility. You will work daily with stakeholders across Engineering, Marketing, Sales, IT, Legal, Security, and Finance. If you like building process and are energized by learning in a fast-moving vendor landscape you will do well here.

Sourcing and negotiation

• Lead vendor negotiations for purchases across multiple spend categories — commercial terms, pricing, discounts, payment terms, ramps, and renewal protections.
• Run competitive sourcing events (RFI/RFP/RFQ) where appropriate, build and present bid comparisons, and make a clear recommendation.
• Prepare for negotiations with benchmarks, usage data, and a defined walk‑away position; document outcomes and realized savings.
• Own the renewal calendar for your categories — engage stakeholders well ahead of renewal dates and eliminate surprise auto‑renewals.

Process ownership and cross‑functional execution

• Shepherd purchase requests through the full intake‑to‑pay process, coordinating with Legal on contract review and redlines, Security on vendor risk and data reviews, IT on provisioning and access, and Finance on budget, PO, and accrual treatment.
• Keep requests moving: chase the critical path, set expectations on timelines, and elevate early when something is stuck.
• Manage supplier onboarding — required documentation, tax forms, banking verification, and supplier records in our systems.
• Maintain clean, auditable records for every transaction: approvals, executed agreements, and negotiation history.

Analysis and recommendations

• Analyze purchasing and spend data to surface consolidation opportunities, duplicate or underused tools, pricing outliers, and category trends.
• Maintain reporting on savings, cost avoidance, cycle time, and spend under management; present findings to Procurement leadership and budget owners.
• Support annual and quarterly budget planning with category‑level spend insight and forward‑looking renewal forecasts.

Driving initiatives forward

• Improve the internal experience of buying at Click House: clearer guidance, faster turnaround, less friction, better self‑service.
• Act as a knowledgeable point of contact for the business on procurement policy, thresholds, and “how do I buy this?” questions.

• 2+ years of sourcing, procurement, or strategic purchasing experience, including hands‑on vendor negotiation.
• Exceptional attention to detail.
• Bachelor's degree, or equivalent practical experience.
• Strong finance fundamentals.
• A genuine customer‑service orientation toward internal stakeholders — responsive, clear, and easy to work with, while still holding the line on process and…
