The posting

About Xaira Therapeutics

Xaira is an innovative biotech startup focused on leveraging AI to transform drug discovery and development. The company is leading the development of generative AI models to design protein and antibody therapeutics, enabling the creation of medicines against historically hard-to-drug molecular targets. It is also developing foundation models for biology and disease to enable better target elucidation and patient stratification. Collectively, these technologies aim to continually enable the identification of novel therapies and to improve success in drug development. Xaira is headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, and London.

The Role

Xaira is seeking a Procurement Manager at the leading edge of the function — a builder who treats procurement as a commercial engine and a proving ground for AI-enabled operations. You're obsessed with stakeholders: scientists, engineers, and business partners are your customers, and their success is your scoreboard. You'll inherit a strong foundation but you have an obsession to drive the function beyond the empirical high-bar. This position is based in South San Francisco, CA.

What You'll Do

Operations Leadership

  • Own end-to-end procurement operations: P2P process, sourcing, and technology enablement across all goods and services
  • Drive adoption of our contract-first CLM framework while reducing cycle times
  • Run procurement as a service business, with stakeholder experience as a core focus
  • Support Accounting: PO hygiene, invoice-match resolution, accruals, vendor master data and close activities

AI Enablement

  • Pilot and scale AI across the lifecycle: contract analysis, spend classification, supplier intelligence, negotiation prep, workflow automation
  • Make Xaira's procurement a showcase for AI-augmented operations — measured in cycle time, coverage, and cost
  • Translate the emerging procure-tech landscape into practical and adopted tooling

Supplier Engagement & Negotiations

  • Lead sourcing events and negotiations across core life-sciences suppliers
  • Structure agreements that protect Xaira's flexibility: competitive tension, cancellation frameworks and leading engagement terms
  • Build supplier relationships that scale: performance management, risk monitoring and strategic partnerships

Procure-Tech, Data & Analytics

  • Drive build-vs-buy decisions across the stack (P2P, CLM, sourcing, cost savings/avoidance) with an emphasis toward lean, high-leverage solutions
  • Build spend analytics that turn data into decisions: category insights, supplier concentration, budget-to-actual
  • Own data integrity across procurement and P2P systems

What You Bring

  • 5+ years in procurement, strategic sourcing, or supply chain; biotech, pharma, or high-growth tech preferred
  • Proven negotiation results on complex service agreements (CRO, services, and technology)
  • Hands-on with modern procurement tools (Ironclad, Coupa, NetSuite, Ramp) and curiosity about what replaces them
  • Practical AI fluency applied to real workflows — you can point to processes you've automated
  • Strong analytics: spend analysis, dashboarding, supplier ecosystems, advanced metrics and analytics giving Xaira leverage as a competitive advantage among Xaira’s peer group
  • Stakeholder obsession - Building trust through accountability and delivery making Procurement an invaluable business partnership
  • Concise, executive-ready communication
  • Entrepreneurial: you find the gap, propose the fix, and ship it

Why This Role Matters

Every dollar and every week Procurement saves is capacity redirected toward discovering new medicines. If you want to build the most advanced Procurement function in biotech, this is the seat.

  • 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.
