Well, we're growing and thriving. So, we need smart, talented, and humble people who share our values to join us as we disrupt the home security space and relentlessly pursue our mission of keeping Every Home Secure. 

About the Role

The Director of Indirect Procurement is a highly visible enterprise-wide leadership role responsible for managing approximately $240 million dollars in SimpliSafe's spend. This high-impact position sits at the intersection of finance, operations, and strategy, with direct impact on the company's bottom line and most important objectives.

This leadership role reports to the VP of Global Supply Chain and Manufacturing Operations and owns end-to-end indirect procurement strategy, from demand intake and sourcing through contract execution and ongoing supplier management, while also leading corporate real estate planning and lease negotiations. Success in this role requires a balance of strategic thinking and hands-on execution, strong commercial judgment, and the ability to influence senior stakeholders across the organization.

At SimpliSafe, Procurement operates as a strategic enabler, not a transactional function - an agile team focused on high-impact, high-visibility initiatives. The team delivers value through operational excellence, trusted business partnerships, expert category management, and a "make-it-happen" mindset.

The ideal candidate brings a blend of procurement experience and leadership, a high degree of financial acumen, intellectual curiosity, exceptional interpersonal and presentation skills, and the ability to influence change within a dynamic, growth-oriented environment.

• Build and manage preferred supplier programs and performance metrics.
• Identify opportunities to improve procurement processes, tools, and data visibility.

• Manage ongoing real estate budgets, CapEx planning and lease obligations.
• Partner with People and leadership on workplace strategy, hybrid work considerations, and future space needs.
• Manage CapEx buildouts and special projects.
• Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leadership on spend strategy, vendor risk, and real estate decisions.
• Lead, mentor, and develop team members and influence without authority across the organization.
• Collaborate closely with Legal on contracts, compliance, and risk mitigation.
• Drive continuous improvement through data, benchmarking, and best practices.

Qualifications

• Proven track record of delivering cost savings and operational improvements at scale.
• Strong negotiation, contract management, and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience managing complex vendor portfolios and enterprise-level spend.
• Highly analytical with strong financial acumen.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
