About the role

Sourcing and negotiation lead within the Procurement team, responsible for end-to-end sourcing, supplier negotiations, and spend data-driven optimization across multiple categories in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment.

Responsibilities

  • Lead vendor negotiations for purchases across multiple spend categories — commercial terms, pricing, discounts, payment terms, ramps, and renewal protections.
  • Run competitive sourcing events (RFI/RFP/RFQ) where appropriate, build and present bid comparisons, and make a clear recommendation.
  • Prepare for negotiations with benchmarks, usage data, and a defined walk-away position; document outcomes and realized savings.
  • Own the renewal calendar for your categories — engage stakeholders well ahead of renewal dates and eliminate surprise auto-renewals.
  • Shepherd purchase requests through the full intake-to-pay process, coordinating with Legal on contract review and redlines, Security on vendor risk and data reviews, IT on provisioning and access, and Finance on budget, PO, and accrual treatment.
  • Keep requests moving: chase the critical path, set expectations on timelines, and escalate early when something is stuck.
  • Manage supplier onboarding — required documentation, tax forms, banking verification, and supplier records in our systems.
  • Maintain clean, auditable records for every transaction: approvals, executed agreements, and negotiation history.
  • Analyze purchasing and spend data to surface consolidation opportunities, duplicate or underused tools, pricing outliers, and category trends.
  • Maintain reporting on savings, cost avoidance, cycle time, and spend under management; present findings to Procurement leadership and budget owners.
  • Support annual and quarterly budget planning with category-level spend insight and forward-looking renewal forecasts.
  • Improve the internal experience of buying at ClickHouse: clearer guidance, faster turnaround, less friction, better self-service.
  • Act as a knowledgeable point of contact for the business on procurement policy, thresholds, and
  • how do I buy this?

Qualifications

  • 2+ years of sourcing, procurement, or strategic purchasing experience, including hands-on vendor negotiation.
  • Exceptional attention to detail.
  • Bachelor's degree, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Strong finance fundamentals.
  • Customer-service orientation toward internal stakeholders — responsive, clear, and easy to work with, while enforcing process and policy.
  • Self-driven and comfortable with ambiguity: identify what needs doing, prioritize, and follow through without close supervision.
  • Ability to adapt and learn quickly in an evolving function and fast-moving industry.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, and credibility to negotiate with senior vendor counterparts.
