Position Overview

FlexTrade Systems is seeking a Senior Procurement Manager / Purchase Lead to establish and scale the company’s enterprise-wide procurement function. Reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer, with a dotted-line partnership to the Senior Vice President of Finance, this role is a critical operational leadership position responsible for cost discipline, vendor governance, and scalable procurement practices across a global technology organization.

The role will have direct responsibility for managing an estimated $20–$40 million in annual spend, spanning IT infrastructure, software licensing, cloud services, professional services, and other more traditional enterprise purchasing categories (travel, facilities, etc). Initially operating as a hands-on individual contributor, the successful candidate will design procurement strategy, policies, and controls from the ground up, with the opportunity to build and lead a small procurement team as the function matures and business scales.

This position requires a pragmatic, commercially strong procurement leader who can balance speed, reliability, and cost optimization in a mission-critical fintech environment.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Procurement Leadership

• Establish and execute a comprehensive procurement strategy aligned with FlexTrade’s operational priorities, financial objectives, and growth trajectory

• Serve as the primary procurement partner to the COO and senior business leaders, translating operational requirements into effective and proactive sourcing and purchasing solutions

• Design and implement procurement policies, approval frameworks, and governance standards to ensure efficiency, transparency, and compliance

• Build scalable procurement processes capable of supporting a global, multi-office organization

IT & Technology Procurement (Core Focus)

• Lead procurement for all IT hardware, including servers, workstations, networking equipment, and infrastructure supporting high-performance trading systems

• Manage software licensing and SaaS procurement across development, testing, and production environments

• Oversee sourcing of cloud infrastructure, managed services, professional services, and technical support contracts

• Partner closely with IT leadership to forecast technology needs, evaluate technical requirements, and ensure procurement decisions support the product roadmap

• Negotiate complex commercial agreements, including enterprise license agreements, master service agreements, and multi-year contracts

Enterprise-Wide Purchasing

• Manage procurement across non-IT categories including facilities, office operations, professional services, marketing, and general operational spend

• Coordinate purchasing activities across global offices in North America, Europe, and Asia

• Establish preferred supplier programs and long-term vendor relationships to ensure service quality, reliability, and competitive pricing

• Implement spend visibility and reporting to support budgeting, forecasting, and executive decision-making

Vendor & Contract Management

• Source, evaluate, and onboard vendors based on capability, financial stability, risk profile, and alignment with FlexTrade’s requirements

• Lead commercial negotiations to optimize pricing, terms, and service levels while mitigating operational and financial risk

• Manage the full contract lifecycle in partnership with Legal and Finance, including drafting, review, execution, renewals, and amendments

• Monitor vendor performance, proactively resolve issues, and conduct periodic reviews with strategic suppliers

Financial Governance & Cross-Functional Partnership

• Partner with the SVP of Finance on budget planning, cash-flow considerations, and financial controls related to vendor spend

• Ensure procurement activities align with audit requirements, internal controls, and financial governance standards

• Provide regular reporting to executive leadership on spend trends, savings initiatives, vendor concentration, and risk exposure

• Establish and manage a clear mechanism to identify, track, and allocate customer-specific pass-through costs (e.g., connectivity, hardware, software licenses, data, cloud resources, or services procured on behalf of specific clients)

• Work closely with Billing and Finance to support timely and accurate pass-through invoicing

Team Development & Capability Build-Out

• Initially operate as a hands-on procurement leader managing day-to-day purchasing activities

• Build and develop a small, high-performing procurement team as the organization and spend profile scale

• Design purchasing workflows, approval hierarchies, and delegation frameworks to support efficient operations

• Evaluate and implement procurement tools such as e-procurement platforms, contract lifecycle management systems, and spend analytics solutions

Experience

• 6–10+ years of progressive procurement or purchasing experience, with significant exposure to IT hardware, software, SaaS, and services procurement

• Demonstrated experience managing enterprise-wide spend across multiple categories, ideally in the $20M+ range

• Proven ability to build or significantly enhance procurement functions, processes, or governance frameworks

• Experience operating as a senior individual contributor with broad ownership and executive exposure

Skills & Competencies

• Strong commercial and negotiation skills, with the ability to structure complex agreements and deliver measurable value

• Solid financial acumen, including cost modeling, total cost of ownership analysis, and budget management

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with comfort engaging senior leaders

• Process-driven mindset with the ability to design, document, and implement scalable workflows

• Strong organizational and project management skills, capable of managing multiple priorities simultaneously

• Proficiency with procurement systems, contract management tools, and Microsoft Office

Education & Certifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain Management, Finance, or a related field required

• Professional certifications such as CPSM, CPM, or CIPS strongly preferred

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in financial services, fintech, or enterprise software environments

• Familiarity with global procurement practices and international vendor management

• Prior experience hiring or mentoring procurement staff

• Exposure to e-sourcing, contract lifecycle management, and spend analytics platforms

• Knowledge of strategic sourcing and category management methodologies

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
