  • Lead end-to-end sourcing events (RFI/RFP, supplier evaluation, selection) for new technology purchases; maintain a competitive supplier landscape for each category
  • Analyze vendor pricing, usage patterns, and market benchmarks to identify opportunities to improve economics and reduce commercial risk
  • Lead commercial negotiations with software and infrastructure vendors, including committed-spend, tiered, usage-based, and enterprise license agreements
  • Structure agreements that balance commitment, flexibility, and unit economics as Harvey's usage grows; right-size license counts and tiers to actual utilization
  • Drive redlines on MSAs, order forms, and DPAs in partnership with Legal, Security, and Privacy; own the deal from first proposal through signature in Zip
  • Support the Head of Procurement and Partnerships on strategic AI provider agreements with usage analysis, benchmark data, and contract administration
  • Partner with Engineering and Finance to forecast demand, translate technical requirements into sourcing strategy, and turn Harvey's growth into negotiating leverage
  • Serve as the commercial point of contact for engineering leadership; engage early in build-vs-buy decisions and vendor evaluations
  • Coordinate Security, Legal, and Privacy review so that technology purchases move through intake at the speed the business needs
  • Own the renewal calendar for technology and software vendors; prepare negotiation briefs, utilization analysis, and benchmark data ahead of each renewal
  • Manage supplier relationships through execution, utilization monitoring, escalations, and renewal; consolidate overlapping tools and eliminate shelfware; track savings and cost avoidance against target
  • Build AI-powered sourcing playbooks and tooling for redlining, negotiation prep, and benchmarking that raise throughput and deal quality across the team

Qualifications

  • 4–7 years of strategic sourcing or procurement experience with a focus on technology and software categories
  • Track record of negotiating enterprise SaaS, cloud infrastructure, or security tooling agreements with vendors such as AWS, Google Cloud, Snowflake, Datadog, GitHub, Okta, or comparable
  • Understanding of software commercial models: per-seat and usage-based pricing, committed spend, tiers, discounts, and true-ups
  • Strong analytical skills: unit-cost analysis, TCO modeling, and benchmarking; able to find the real economics underneath a vendor proposal
  • Working knowledge of commercial and legal contract terms (MSAs, order forms, SOWs, DPAs); comfortable driving redlines in partnership with Legal
  • Clear, direct communicator with executives and across the negotiating table
  • Hands-on experience running sourcing in a procure-to-pay platform (Zip preferred)
  • AI fluency: you actively use AI tools for redlining, negotiation prep, benchmarking, and vendor analysis
