Procurement Contracts information

What are procurement contracts?

Procurement contracts are legally binding agreements between a buyer and a supplier that outline the terms and conditions for purchasing goods or services. These contracts specify details such as price, quality standards, delivery timelines, payment terms, and dispute resolution mechanisms. They help ensure that both parties understand their obligations and protect their interests throughout the purchasing process. Procurement contracts are commonly used by businesses, government agencies, and other organizations to manage their supply chain and vendor relationships.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in procurement contracts, and why are they important?

Success in Procurement Contracts requires strong negotiation skills, contract management expertise, and a thorough understanding of procurement regulations, often supported by a degree in business, supply chain management, or related fields. Familiarity with contract lifecycle management (CLM) software, ERP systems like SAP or Oracle, and certifications such as CPSM or CIPS is commonly expected. Excellent communication, attention to detail, and problem-solving abilities help professionals excel in vendor relations and risk management. These competencies are crucial to ensure compliance, cost-effectiveness, and the successful execution of procurement strategies.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in procurement contracts, and how are they typically addressed?

Professionals in Procurement Contracts often encounter challenges such as navigating complex regulatory requirements, managing tight deadlines, and ensuring compliance with organizational policies. Dealing with multiple stakeholders—such as vendors, legal teams, and internal departments—can also create communication hurdles. These challenges are typically addressed through strong project management, continuous training on changing regulations, and fostering collaborative relationships across teams to ensure clear communication and timely contract execution.

Job description

Who are we?

Smarsh empowers its customers to manage risk and unleash intelligence in their digital communications. Our growing community of over 6500 organizations in regulated industries counts on Smarsh every day to help them spot compliance, legal or reputational risks in 80+ communication channels before those risks become regulatory fines or headlines.  Relentless innovation has fueled our journey to consistent leadership recognition from analysts like Gartner and Forrester, and our sustained, aggressive growth has landed Smarsh in the annual Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing American companies since 2008.

Smarsh is seeking a Procurement Manager to lead and manage the procurement team, driving daily execution while helping translate strategic direction into action. This role will manage a team spanning vendor procurement, systems/vendor analysis, and strategic sourcing, and will own two related but distinct work streams: procurement process execution and vendor management, including a new vendor review process built in partnership with InfoSec and Legal. This is a people-management and execution-focused role that drives the direction into daily team operations and results, helping move Smarsh toward a more mature, enterprise-grade procurement process.

What will you do?
Team & Process Leadership: 

   Directly manage and develop the procurement team, including workload distribution, coaching, and performance management
   Translate the procurement strategy and direction set by leadership into concrete team priorities, processes, and daily execution
   Own current-state PO and procurement workflow execution across Jira and NetSuite
   Evaluate and help define the next direction for procurement tooling - including a potential Jira-to-NetSuite integration, a NetSuite upgrade to natively support procurement, or the adoption of third-party procurement tooling.
   Drive process documentation and continuous improvement across procurement workflows (e.g. PO fast-track procedures, vendor bill/PO best practices)
   Serve as an escalation point for day-to-day procurement issues, removing blockers for the team
   Report on team performance, procurement metrics, and process health to leadership

Vendor Management (separated from core procurement process) :

   Own vendor management as a distinct function from procurement process execution, with dedicated ownership of vendor relationships, risk, and lifecycle
   Build and formalize a vendor review process covering onboarding, ongoing risk assessment, and offboarding
   Build and define partnerships with InfoSec and Legal to establish multi-lane, requirements-based review paths depending on purchase type (e.g. software vs. services vs. hardware) and vendor status (new vs. existing/renewal)
   Define escalation and review criteria that scale review rigor to risk (e.g. data access, spend threshold, contract type) rather than applying a single process to every vendor
   Support Smarsh's broader move toward a more mature, enterprise-grade procurement process by ensuring vendor governance keeps pace with sourcing and tooling changes
What will you bring?
  • 5+ years of experience in procurement, sourcing, or vendor management, with 2+ years in a people management role
  • Demonstrated experience building or maturing a vendor review/risk process, ideally in partnership with InfoSec and/or Legal
  • Experience driving process improvement and documentation in a procurement or operations function
  • Strong ability to translate high-level strategic direction into team execution
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills across Finance, IT, InfoSec, Legal, and vendor-facing functions.
  • Experience leading or contributing to a procurement systems evaluation or migration (e.g. build vs. buy, tooling RFP) is preferred.
  • Background in IT/technology vendor procurement specifically is preferred.
  • Experience designing risk-tiered or multi-lane vendor review frameworks is preferred.
  • Experience supporting compliance or audit needs tied to procurement (e.g. SOC 2, vendor risk)is preferred.
$110,000 - $130,000 a year
The above salary range represents Smarsh's good faith and reasonable estimate of the range of possible base compensation at the time of posting. Any applicable bonus programs will be discussed during the recruiting process. 
 
The salary for this role will be set based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, internal equity, experience, education, location, specialty and training. 
 
Local cost of living assessments are done for each new hire at the time of offer.
