The ideal candidate brings deep experience in procurement within a high-growth technology environment, with a proven track record of negotiating complex vendor agreements, driving cost optimization, and building strong procurement governance. You are both a strategic thinker and a hands-on operator—comfortable developing long-term procurement strategy while rolling up your sleeves to improve processes, analyze spend, and lead critical negotiations. You're a collaborative leader who enjoys developing high-performing teams and influencing stakeholders at all levels of the organization. StackAdapt is a remote-first company, and we are open to candidates located anywhere within Canada for this position. We encourage applicants from all backgrounds to apply.

What You'll Bring to the Table • 8+ years of experience leading procurement, strategic sourcing, or vendor management within a high-growth tech company, including experience leading and developing teams, with significant experience negotiating SaaS, software, cloud infrastructure, and professional services agreements. • Proven success negotiating complex vendor agreements, managing contracts end-to-end, and driving strategic sourcing initiatives that balance cost optimization with business value. • Experience building or scaling procurement processes within a fast-growing technology organization, with a track record of driving operational improvements and increasing organizational efficiency. • Hands-on experience implementing, optimizing, or administering procurement technology and P2P systems (Zip strongly preferred), with familiarity with ERP platforms such as NetSuite. • Strong understanding of procurement governance, contract fundamentals, vendor risk management, and cross-functional purchasing processes. • Strong analytical skills with experience leveraging spend data, reporting, and business insights to identify optimization opportunities and support strategic decision-making. Experience with tools such as Snowflake, Tableau, or Power BI is an asset. • A hands-on, builder mentality—you enjoy rolling up your sleeves to improve processes, solve problems, and drive execution rather than simply overseeing the work. • Strong communication and influencing skills, with the ability to confidently lead complex negotiations, build credibility with senior stakeholders, and present procurement strategies, risks, and recommendations to executive leadership. • Demonstrated curiosity around AI and emerging technologies, with an interest in exploring how automation and AI can improve procurement operations, workflows, and team efficiency. • Thrive in a fast-changing environment and bring a growth mindset, intellectual curiosity, and adaptability to evolving business priorities, technologies, and procurement practices. • Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Supply Chain Management, or a related field.
