The posting

Our vision

We are on a mission to reinvent procurement by transforming complex processes into simple and automated actions. Najar empowers businesses with cutting-edge procurement solutions that are adaptable, reliable, and focused on long-term financial health. With our AI-driven platform, businesses can confidently navigate the complexities of procurement, ensuring that every decision is visible, precise, and built to last.

With Najar, businesses have the tools they need to take control of their procurement processes, optimize spending, and unlock the full power of automation. Just like the navigation systems in a spaceship’s control room, our platform ensures that every insight is within reach.

About us

Our cofounder, who previously led the financial department in another company, experienced the pain around procurement processes and the lack of clarity and information. To solve this, he founded Najar in 2021. In just a few years, we’ve grown to several millions in ARR supporting 200+ customers in France and across Europe in their procurement journey, growing the team to 70+ people (including remote employees).

Following a successful Seed funding round and a Series A of €15 million led by 13Books, Portage and Tomcat, we are focused on continuing our growth and expanding our impact in the market. We have the ambition of being the leading procurement solution in France, and Europe. Our goal is to become the strategic partner for businesses, their Architect of Trust.

Your role

As Procurement Manager, your primary mission is to lead, coach, and grow a team of 5 to 10 IT Procurement Partners dedicated to our client portfolio.

You're a player-coach: you spend a significant part of your time on the ground, stepping into complex client situations, unblocking deals, and demonstrating what excellent procurement looks like in practice. This hands-on presence is what makes you credible with your team and with clients.

Beyond day-to-day leadership, you own strategic initiatives aligned with the Procurement department's OKRs, and you contribute to shaping the methodologies and standards of the IT procurement practice.

You report directly to the VP Procurement.

  • Collaborate with other Procurement Managers to ensure consistency of practices across teams,

Preferred experience

Must-haves

  • 4 to 7 years of experience in IT, SaaS, or hardware procurement, strategic sourcing, or procurement consulting,

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including with senior client contacts
  • Strong ownership mindset : you take initiatives, follow through, and drive things to completion,
  • Fluent in French and English.

Nice-to-haves

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.
