About the Role

We're looking for a Lead Procurement Business Partner to serve as the strategic procurement owner across Snyk's Finance, Legal, Corporate Information Systems, and People & Workplace verticals. This is an individual contributor role reporting to the VP of Procurement.

You're a business partner first, with an obsession for customer centricity. In an environment where speed and impact are equally valued, you'll build frameworks that enable the business rather than slow it down — owning purchase management, month-end close processes, and systems hygiene across the verticals that underpin our operational and organizational growth.

What You'll Do

Business Partnership (~50%)

• Strategic partnership: Embed within Finance, Legal, Corporate Information Systems, and People leadership, attending planning cycles and supplier strategy discussions

• Procurement execution: Own the full Source-to-Pay (S2P) lifecycle for all G&A commodities — SaaS, Professional Services, Real Estate & Facilities, Resource Augmentation — including net-new purchases and renewals

• Stakeholder translation: Translate complex sourcing and financial concepts for non-procurement stakeholders; build trust through responsiveness and results

• Executive partnership: Be the face of Procurement for G&A leadership (CFO, CPO, CIO, CEO) — the go-to escalation point for operational issues and spend health updates

• FP&A alignment: Set and communicate budget requirements with FP&A, keep spend within guardrails, and contribute to annual planning

Systems & Process Excellence (~30%)

• P2P adoption: Champion adoption and optimization across G&A, driving compliance, UX improvements, and workflow automation

• Data quality: Partner with Finance Systems, Business Analytics, Strategy, and Accounting to improve data quality, GL coding accuracy, and spend visibility

• Risk & controls: Partner with Legal, GRC, and Enterprise Security to strengthen contract lifecycle management, TPRM, and risk-appropriate controls

• Cycle-time reduction: Cut P2P cycle time through automation, self-service, and AI-assisted tooling

• SaaS stack management: Partner with the CIO to rationalize Snyk's SaaS stack, consolidating tools and leveraging Snyk's own AI capabilities over new purchases

• Spend ownership: Own SaaS/subscription spend currently on credit card, and build a plan to shift it to invoiced billing and/or reseller arrangements

• System ownership: Act as SME for Coupa, identifying process improvements with Accounting and Business Applications

Financial Close & Controls (~20%)

• Close ownership: Own month-end close activities — accrual submissions, PO management, spend reconciliation — with Accounting and FP&A

• PO hygiene: Ensure timely PO creation, receipt matching, and proactive communication of large commitments to Finance

• Accrual accuracy: Drive accuracy through scalable open PO reviews and prepaid management

• Forecasting support: Surface supplier commitment data to support accurate budget-to-actual reporting

• Audit readiness: Keep every request and PO audit-ready with clean, reportable metadata

What You Bring

• 7+ years of progressive procurement experience, including 5+ years in enterprise tech, SaaS, cybersecurity or hyperscaler environments

• An "AI-first" mindset and curiosity about applying AI to procurement operations

• Customer-centric, with a track record of building strong internal and external stakeholder relationships

• Strong communication skills and the ability to influence effectively

• A bias for action, with strong time management and a natural sense of urgency

• Experience in strategic sourcing and contract negotiation across G&A categories (professional services, real estate/facilities, corporate information systems, HR/workforce)

• Working knowledge of procurement-adjacent accounting: accruals, prepaid expenses, PO management, month-end close

• Hands-on experience with modern procurement platforms and ERPs

• Proven ability to build structure in high-velocity, ambiguous environments without slowing the business down

• Strong grasp of controls, segregation of duties, and compliance across Procurement, Legal, Security, and Finance

• A passion for turning manual processes into structured, automated, audit-ready systems

• Tenacity and resilience to drive results, even in ambiguous settings

It'd Be Awesome If You Also…

• Have hands-on experience with Coupa (P2P), Tropic (I2P), or similar enter prise procurement suites

• Have worked in hyper-growth, scaling environments

• Bring experience with Real Estate/Workplace procurement at scale

• Are proficient with BI tools for spend analysis and reporting

We care deeply about the warm, inclusive environment we’ve created and we value diversity – we welcome applications from those typically underrepresented in tech. If you like the sound of this role but are not totally sure whether you’re the right person, do apply anyway!
