The posting

Mercury is building a complete finance stack for startups. We work hard to create the easiest and safest banking* experience possible to simplify entrepreneurs' and business owners’ financial lives. At Mercury, procurement is a strategic function. We have a modern approach where teams move fast and procurement provides the structure, systems, and commercial rigor that make that speed sustainable.

We’re growing our procurement team and hiring a senior business partner to own high-impact deals and help scale how procurement operates. This role sits at the center of procurement execution, vendor operations, and P2P systems. You’ll run procure-to-pay workflows end to end, manage procurement tooling, and partner closely with Finance, Legal, Security, and Compliance to enable smart buying decisions across the company.

This is not a traditional, checkbox-driven procurement role. You’ll negotiate, help build processes, improve systems, and shape how procurement works at Mercury as the company grows.

*Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group and Column N.A., Members FDIC.

Here’s what you’ll do:

  • Own procurement intake and deal execution from request through contract signature and supplier onboarding
  • Design and improve procurement processes, policies, and controls as the company pursues bank charter readiness
  • Act as a force multiplier for the team, setting playbooks and standards others can run
  • Lead contract negotiations end to end, including commercial strategy by coordinating redlines, pricing discussions, and vendor communications
  • Operate and administer P2P and procurement tools, ensuring workflows, controls, and integrations are working as intended
  • Maintain clean, accurate procurement and vendor data across intake, approvals, renewals, and systems
  • Manage day-to-day vendor portfolio operations including vendor records, renewal calendars, pricing changes, SLAs, and basic performance tracking
  • Serve as the operational point of contact for Accounts Payable, Legal, Security, and Compliance on procurement-related matters
  • Monitor cycle times and bottlenecks, and drive process and tooling improvements to increase speed and quality
  • Support vendor risk intake by triggering required cross-functional reviews and escalating issues when appropriate
  • Build and maintain dashboards and reports on spend, renewals, throughput, and savings to support planning and decision-making
  • Partner with the Procurement Lead on reporting, deal preparation, and executive updates

You should have:

  • 5-8 years of experience in procurement, sourcing, P2P operations, or a related finance or operations role
  • Hands-on experience with P2P or procurement systems such as Zip, Coupa, Ariba, or similar tools
  • Track record of independently leading negotiations with meaningful commercial outcomes
  • Experience building or materially improving procurement processes
  • Experience in vendor risk, compliance, or third-party review processes
  • Experience running workflows from incomplete or messy intake through execution and close
  • Strong operational judgment, attention to detail, and a bias to action
  • Comfort working cross-functionally with Finance, Legal, Security, and business stakeholders
  • Ability to work with data and build simple, useful dashboards to inform decisions

Nice to have:

  • Experience operating in a regulated or high-scrutiny environment
  • Experience in a high-growth tech or startup environment

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
