Technology Vendor Lead
Lead proactive vendor management for mid-tier and tail technology vendors at ID.me. Identify savings through renegotiations and consolidations, operate AI-augmented procurement tooling and workflows, and partner cross-functionally with finance, legal, and security teams. Requires 5+ years experience, proven negotiation track record, and strong comfort with AI tools.
About the job
What you'll do
- Drive value across the vendor tail: Independently identify, prioritize, and execute renegotiations across mid-tier vendors. Bring quantified savings, term improvements, and risk reduction to every renewal cycle.
- Eliminate duplicative spend: Hunt across the SaaS and technology portfolio for overlapping tools, dormant licenses, and consolidation opportunities. Build the business case, run the cross-functional alignment, execute the consolidation.
- Onboard, evaluate, and offboard vendors: Run vendor selection processes for new technology. Coordinate POCs, structure pilots, capture performance data, and make sourcing recommendations grounded in data.
- Operate the procurement system of record: Own day-to-day administration and continuous improvement of Procurement Tools – intake configuration, approval workflows, vendor records, renewal calendars, audit trails.
- Run the AI agent layer: Configure, monitor, and improve the AI agents that handle intake triage, renewal monitoring, contract review, and anomaly detection.
- Partner cross-functionally: Work directly with FP&A, Legal, GRC/Risk, InfoSec, Privacy, and business owners across the company.
What you'll bring
- 5+ years in procurement, vendor management, FP&A operations with vendor facing experience, consulting, or a closely adjacent operations role.
- A track record of negotiated outcomes you can speak to specifically.
- Genuine comfort with modern AI tools as part of how you work day-to-day – prompting LLMs to accelerate research and drafting, using AI features inside procurement and contract tools, identifying where AI can replace manual effort.
- Strong systems instincts: Implemented or significantly improved procurement, finance, or operations tooling (Ramp, Coupa, Zip, Tropic, Spendflo, Ironclad, NetSuite, or similar).
- Cross-functional operator orientation: Comfort leading a conversation with a stakeholder twice your level.
- Ownership, mastery and confidence.
- Bias to action.
