Director of Procurement, Indirect Sourcing

 Job Description:

$165,000 - $175,000 + Bonus
Boston, Massachusetts | Hybrid

The Opportunity

This is a procurement role built around full ownership. You'll run Indirect Sourcing RFPs end-to-end — from initiation through competitive bid negotiation, redlining, and contract execution — with the autonomy to define the business need, source the solution, and negotiate the terms yourself.

You'll operate as a centralized Procurement function within FP&A at a fast-growing, fee-only wealth management and advisory firm with nearly 150 offices nationwide and roughly 1.5 million clients. The company holds a dominant position in the 401(k) managed account space and continues to invest heavily in technology, which means your procurement work directly shapes how that growth gets funded and protected.

Why You'll Love This Role

This is an individual-contributor seat with real seniority attached. You'll partner directly with executive stakeholders across HR, IT, Financial Market Data, Marketing, Operations, Wealth Planning, and Trading — translating business needs into sourcing strategy, not just processing requests.

You'll lead negotiations on software, SaaS, and hosting agreements, working closely with Legal and negotiating directly against vendor counsel and sales counterparts. You'll structure the commercial terms yourself: flexible fee models, price escalation caps, tiered pricing, and downside protection built to hold up over time.

Procurement has a genuine seat at the table here. You'll present spend, SLA performance, and realized savings directly to senior and executive leadership, and your recommendations carry real weight in how the company manages cost and vendor risk at scale.

What Your Week Looks Like

• Own an active pipeline of Indirect Procurement RFPs, moving deals from launch through executed contract
• Redline and negotiate software, SaaS, and hosting agreements alongside Legal
• Build and defend fee models, escalation caps, and tiered pricing structures with vendors
• Pull together spend and SLA analytics into dashboards for senior leadership
• Work cross-functionally to consolidate the supplier base and drive measurable savings
• Audit category inventories with business owners to confirm licensing and cost controls
• Coordinate with Accounts Payable so POs, contracts, and invoices reconcile cleanly

What We're Looking For

• 10+ years of Procurement experience in Indirect Sourcing at a well-regarded organization
• Extensive technology procurement background, ideally inside a technology-dependent business
• Expert-level negotiation and redlining experience on software, SaaS, and hosting contracts
• Working knowledge of P2P systems such as Oracle NetSuite, plus Excel and PowerPoint proficiency
• Bachelor's degree required; Master's preferred
• Procurement certification preferred (CPM, CTPE, CPP, SPSM, or CIPS)
• Executive presence and sound judgment when juggling multiple high-stakes negotiations at once

Why Candidates Say Yes

• Full ownership of the sourcing lifecycle, not a piece of it
• Direct negotiating authority on high-value software and SaaS agreements
• Regular visibility with senior and executive leadership
• A profitable, growing company investing heavily in its own technology
• Strong work-life balance alongside genuine influence over cost and vendor strategy
