The simple task of buying software, services, or tools at work has become hopelessly complicated at even the most innovative companies in the world. Today, enterprises spend $120T+ per year globally (>

30 times larger than annual consumer e-commerce spend) and rely on vendors more than ever before to run their businesses.

Our cofounders started Zip in 2020 to address this seemingly intractable problem with a purpose-built procurement platform that provides a simple, consumer-grade user experience. Within the last 4 years, Zip has created a new category and developed the leading solution in this $50B+ TAM space. Today, the world’s leading companies like OpenAI, Snowflake, Anthropic, Coinbase, and Prudential rely on Zip to manage billions of dollars in spend.

We have a world-class team coming from category-defining companies like Airbnb, Meta, Stripe, Salesforce, Apple, and Google. With a $2.2 billion valuation and $370 million in funding from Y Combinator, Tiger Global, BOND, DST Global, and CRV, we’re focused on developing cutting-edge technology, expanding into new global markets, and—above all–driving incredible value for our customers. Join us!

Your Role

Be at the forefront of bringing Agentic AI to procurement : automating intake, accelerating approvals, and transforming how enterprises manage spend and vendor decisions at scale.

• Customer Strategy Partner : Advise customers on best practices, unlocking business value through automation and influencing broader adoption of AI within procurement.
• Feedback Loop into Product : Drive tight feedback loops with engineering and product teams. Surface customer insights, prioritize high-impact features, and guide the roadmap for our AI agent platform.
• Enterprise Stakeholder Enablement : Conduct training, documentation, and onboarding sessions to empower customer teams to self-serve and scale usage of Zip’s agents.
• Cross-Functional Leadership : Collaborate with sales, engineering, and product to ensure customer success and technical feasibility throughout the customer lifecycle.
• Agent Platform Innovation : Help shape the strategy and evolution of Zip’s AI agent framework through insights gained from real-world deployments.

You May Be a Great Fit If You Have

• 4+ years of experience implementing procurement tools (ie. Coupa, Ariba etc.)
• Deep technical curiosity with ability to understand and influence how AI agents are built, tested, and improved.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Proven ability to manage ambiguity, own outcomes, and move fast in startup environments.
• Bonus : CS, Engineering, or Math degree—or equivalent technical fluency.
