**This is a hybrid position that requires 2 days per week in office at our Chicago location**

Syndigo is hiring a Senior Manager, Procurement to establish and manage procurement practices that support the scale and complexity of the business. Our spend is overwhelmingly indirect and technology-weighted — cloud infrastructure, software and SaaS, data and content licensing, professional services, contingent labor, marketing, and facilities — and it is currently sourced and contracted across multiple teams with inconsistent process and limited visibility.

This role leads key procurement activities end to end: category strategy, strategic sourcing, negotiation, contract lifecycle management, supplier performance and risk, and the intake-to-pay process that connects them. You will be the single accountable owner for spend under management and for the commercial terms Syndigo signs. Success is measured in hard savings and cost avoidance, cycle time from request to signature, and the degree to which the business stops experiencing procurement as a bottleneck.

You will report to the VP of Engineering – Infrastructure & DevOps and partner daily with Engineering, Technology, Legal, Information Security, Privacy, and the business unit leaders who own the requirements behind the spend.

HOW WE’LL BE WINNING TOGETHER DAY TO DAY

Procurement Strategy & Supplier Management

  • Develop and execute Syndigo’s global procurement strategy, driving value, efficiency, and risk management across all third-party spend categories.
  • Establish category strategies and supplier partnerships that support business growth and operational goals.
  • Provide executive leadership with clear insights into supplier spend, performance, and savings opportunities.

Strategic Sourcing & Negotiation

  • Lead sourcing initiatives and negotiations for key enterprise agreements, including software, cloud services, professional services, and strategic vendor partnerships.
  • Drive favorable commercial terms, cost savings, and risk mitigation while ensuring long-term business value.
  • Build proactive renewal and supplier management practices to maximize leverage and avoid unnecessary spend.

Contract & Risk Management

  • Oversee the contract lifecycle in partnership with Legal, from intake and negotiation through execution, compliance, and renewal.
  • Lead vendor risk and performance management programs, ensuring suppliers meet security, privacy, regulatory, and business requirements.
  • Support governance for AI and emerging technology vendors, balancing innovation with risk management.

Financial & Operational Excellence

  • Partner closely with Finance to deliver measurable savings, cost avoidance, and budgeting accuracy.
  • Optimize procurement processes, systems, and policies to create a streamlined, scalable experience for stakeholders.
  • Drive continuous improvement across procure-to-pay operations and procurement technology.

Leadership & Business Partnership

  • Build and lead a high-performing procurement function, developing talent, processes, and capabilities as the organization grows.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to business, technology, and executive leaders on commercial strategy, supplier management, and investment decisions.
  • Support M&A integration activities, including supplier consolidation, contract optimization, and synergy realization.

WE SHOULD TALK IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU

  • 7+ years of experience in procurement, strategic sourcing, or vendor management, including 2+ years of people leadership or leading complex cross-functional initiatives.
  • Track record of managing indirect spend and delivering measurable savings and cost avoidance.
  • Experience negotiating technology agreements, including SaaS, cloud infrastructure, data, professional services, and multi-year contracts.
  • Strong understanding of commercial contract terms and supplier negotiations.
  • Experience implementing or improving procurement processes, systems, and operating models.
  • Knowledge of third-party risk management, security, privacy, and compliance requirements.
  • Proficiency with procurement, contract lifecycle, and spend analytics tools.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.
  • Strong commercial judgment with the ability to prioritize the terms that drive the most value.
  • Proven ability to influence stakeholders and build adoption across technical and business teams.
  • Data-driven decision maker with strong analytical and financial acumen.
  • Hands-on, operational mindset with experience building processes and scaling functions.
  • High integrity and sound judgment when navigating policy, compliance, and supplier ethics.

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.
