Job description

Director of Procurement
Department: Finance
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Chicago
Compensation: $170,000 - $200,000 / year
Description
We are seeking a strategic, results-driven Director of Procurement to lead our global procurement organization, vendor management lifecycle, and corporate governance frameworks. In this high-impact role, you will own company-wide indirect and direct procurement, vendor due diligence, third-party data protection, contract negotiations, and cost-optimization strategies.
You bring deep subject-matter expertise in negotiating complex enterprise agreements; specifically across SaaS, Telecom, Market Data, CapEx, and OpEx, while steering company-wide vendor consolidation and M&A integration initiatives. Acting as a key financial and risk steward, you will leverage modern procurement technology stacks (NetSuite, Coupa, Ironclad) to drive rigorous reporting, deliver measurable savings, and protect enterprise data.
Key Responsibilities
Strategic Sourcing & Category Management
  • Drive high-value, complex contract negotiations and vendor selection for SaaS, Telecom, Market Data, Capital Expenditures (CapEx), and Operating Expenses (OpEx) to secure optimal commercial terms, pricing, and service-level agreements (SLAs).
  • Develop and execute multi-year procurement roadmaps aligned with corporate growth, budget constraints, and operational objectives.
  • Identify redundancies across the tech stack and vendor ecosystem; lead strategic rationalization and consolidation initiatives to minimize tail spend and maximize enterprise leverage.

Vendor Management & M&A Integration
  • Oversee comprehensive risk assessment, financial stability checks, and compliance reviews for all third-party vendors and strategic partners.
  • Play a pivotal leadership role in M&A due diligence, vendor audits, and post-merger integration of supply chains, contracts, and software systems.
  • Establish robust KPI frameworks and regular review cadence with key suppliers to ensure accountability and high performance.

Contractor Lifecycle & Procurement Operations
  • Standardize Statement of Work (SOW) creation, ensuring clear deliverables, milestones, Acceptance Criteria, and SLA enforcement across all departmental contractor engagements.
  • Implement structured vendor onboarding, performance benchmarking, and offboarding protocols to manage contractor tenure limits and mitigate co-employment risk.
  • Oversee the end-to-end Purchase Requisition (PR) to Purchase Order (PO) workflow for legal, IT, and specialized non-employee labor, establishing strict spend thresholds, approval matrices, and PO variance checks to eliminate rogue spending.
  • Lead high-stakes commercial negotiations for contractor rate cards, volume discounts, master services agreements (MSAs), and SOW pricing models (time-and-materials vs. fixed fee).
  • Audit contract renewal and extension pipelines 60-90 days prior to expiration to negotiate favorable terms, evaluate performance, or re-bid non-performing accounts.

Financial Lifecycle & FP&A Collaboration
  • Partner closely with the Corporate Controller and FP&A team to ensure the complete financial lifecycle of all expenses is seamlessly captured, tracked, and reconciled from purchase requisition to general ledger posting.
  • Collaborate on budget planning, rolling forecasts, and variance analysis, providing deep visibility into upcoming commitments, renewals, and milestone-based payments.
  • Streamline the invoice-to-pay and accrual processes by aligning procurement milestones with accounting month-end closes and financial reporting requirements.

Compliance, Governance & Data Protection
  • Design, implement, and enforce robust procurement governance policies that adhere to global regulatory requirements, industry standards, and internal corporate controls.
  • Partner closely with Information Security, Legal, and Privacy teams to evaluate third-party risk, conducting rigorous security assessments for all vendors handling company or customer data.
  • Ensure all vendor agreements strictly align with major data protection frameworks (such as GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and SOC 2 Type II standards) regarding data collection, processing, storage, and cross-border transfer.
  • Oversee the mandatory integration of robust Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) and strict data-destruction/offboarding clauses into every contract managed via Ironclad.
  • Maintain comprehensive documentation and compliance checkpoints across all vendor contracts to ensure seamless internal and external audit readiness.

Systems, Analytics & Reporting
  • Act as the internal champion and process owner for procurement platforms, utilizing Coupa (procure-to-pay), NetSuite (ERP), and Ironclad (contract lifecycle management) to streamline operations and ensure data integrity.
  • Design, build, and present executive-level dashboards and reporting metrics tracking spend visibility, cost-avoidance, realized savings, and budget variance.
  • Implement data-driven procurement methodologies to pinpoint cost-saving opportunities and forecast future cash flow needs accurately.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
Essential Skills & Experience
  • Experience: Minimum of 8-10+ years of progressive procurement, strategic sourcing, and vendor management experience within high-growth tech, finance, or corporate environments.
  • Negotiation Mastery: Demonstrated deep expertise in negotiating complex enterprise agreements for SaaS, global Telecom infrastructure, financial Market Data, CapEx, and OpEx.
  • M&A & Consolidation: Proven track record of managing end-to-end M&A procurement integration and large-scale vendor consolidation projects.
  • Tech Stack Proficiency: Advanced hands-on experience utilizing modern procurement and ERP platforms, specifically Coupa, NetSuite, and Ironclad.
  • Governance & Privacy Knowledge: Strong understanding of third-party risk management, data security frameworks, and privacy regulations (GDPR, SOC 2 ,ISO).

  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field (MBA or Master's degree is a plus).
  • Certifications: Professional designations such as Certified Professional in Supply Management (CPSM) or Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP).
  • ESG Integration: Experience implementing sustainable and ethical sourcing frameworks (ABAC, anti-modern slavery, and ESG criteria) throughout the supply chain.
  • Executive Presence: Exceptional financial acumen, advanced contract law understanding, and a proven ability to influence C-suite stakeholders.
