About the role

Leadership role overseeing Ashby’s procurement function, designing and operating a fast, frictionless, and well-governed procurement process with escalation paths and strong vendor governance.

Responsibilities

  • Designing, implementing, and administering Ashby’s procurement process from the ground up: fast and frictionless by default, with intelligent escalation pathways that pull in IT, Legal, Security, Finance, and Founder review when the vendor, contract, or spend calls for it.
  • Creating a clear, consolidated view of company-wide vendor spend.
  • Tuning and administering our existing procurement tool, and evaluating replacement options as it comes up for renewal.
  • Leading negotiation and contract structuring on our largest and most complex vendor relationships, either directly or in close partnership with the business leader who owns the relationship.
  • Equipping business leaders with the tools and guardrails to own the vendor relationships that make sense for them to own directly.
  • Partnering with IT, Legal, Security, and Finance to design the escalation process and ensure it’s working as intended.

Qualifications

  • Significant experience, primarily in procurement or vendor management with a high-growth tech environment.
  • Experience designing systems and processes for fast, efficient procurement.
  • Bias toward speed and simplicity; comfort with ambiguity and building playbooks independently.
  • Strong focus on getting economics right on deals without damaging key vendor relationships.
  • Clear opinions on what constitutes good procurement design (e.g., review-routing frameworks, vendor evaluation methodologies).

Required:Procurement strategy designContract negotiation

Benefits

  • Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget.
  • $100/month education budget with additional coverage for approved items.
  • If in the US, health insurance for employee and dependents with premiums covered by Ashby.

About Ashby

All-in-one recruiting platform that empowers hiring excellence in…

At Ashby, we're improving the productivity of working professionals with intelligent and powerful software. We put a lot of effort into designing products that are approachable to beginners but mastered & extended by power users. In many ways, spreadsheets set the bar here. Our first products provide talent teams with clever automation, powerful analytics tools, and customizable workflows packaged in great UX. We have many paying customers who love us and use us every day like Opendoor, Airtable, Duolingo, and Notion. Notion's Head of Talent said Ashby is "probably the tool we are in the most and rely on the most, as a recruiting team." Our culture is motivated by Abhik's (my co-founder and Head of Engineering) and my belief that a small talented team, given the right environment, can build a great product and service fast (and work regular hours!). We hire exceptional, kind, thoughtful people and provide an environment where we can be happy, feel challenged, and do our best work. We are well funded and backed by great investors, including Y Combinator, Elad Gil, and Lachy Groom. We'll share more once we meet!
