Job description

Find the next step in your career and contribute to building one of the world's fastest-growing startups

Contribute to our mission to transform how finance and procurement teams manage their indirect spend

Vertice is the third venture of our founders, Roy and Eldar Tuvey, who founded Vertice in 2022 following two successful prior exits, creating a combined enterprise value of $600M+.
We’re proud of the business we’ve built to date and the recognition we’ve received along the way. By 2025, we had already become one of the fastest growing companies in the world, with the Financial Times' Sifted report naming us as the #4 fastest-growing startup in Europe, and #1 in UK and Ireland.
We followed this up in 2026 by being recognized as #2 on the Sunday Times Tech 100, a definitive list of the UK's fastest-growing private technology businesses.
This positive momentum would not be possible without our hard-working and driven team. Our industry is currently undergoing radical shifts due to AI, and change is one of the only constants at Vertice. Things move fast here and our product is evolving rapidly. In turn, top performers are rewarded at pace with career growth, and in our commercial teams, compelling incentive plans.

“Being an Account Manager at Vertice isn’t just about managing the customer, it's about having a deep understanding of the customer’s business and understanding what they need before they know they need it. Vertice can be a pretty big enterprise investment for many customers, so you need to stop thinking like a vendor and start thinking like a commercial partner.”

“Vertice has allowed me to keep developing. As a Principal Procurement Manager, I'm grateful to sit at the intersection of customer and delivery strategy. I have earned a promotion and built a team of my own. I'm excited to keep finding ways to propel my team forward!”

“I leverage AI every day as part of my work in procurement at Vertice. I really enjoy using our AI negotiation agent, it streamlines my workload and gives me a thought partner to bounce ideas off. I feel like Vertice is doing something in a category that is truly avant garde.”

Lily Siddiqi

“Vertice is one of those rare sales orgs that practise what they preach. 9 of 10 of our Commercial AE team were promoted internally from BDRs with an average promotion time of 13 months. We actually promoted 4 BDRs in July 2026 in one round, across UK, France, Spain, and Italy. I joined in May 2026 and have been so impressed with my first few months here and can't wait to see my next hires move up to AE soon!”

Senior Manager, Business Development, EMEA

“We are at an inflection point with AI and procurement... the opportunity is huge and we’re just getting started. We win and celebrate as a team and there are huge opportunities to accelerate your career at Vertice.”

Customer Procurement

Our mission is to make enterprise procurement effortless.

Technology is one of the biggest line items in any enterprise budget, yet buying it still means months of back-and-forth across Finance, Legal and IT. Vertice is the AI procurement platform changing that. Our agentic workflows, autonomous negotiation agents, and expert buyers help finance and procurement teams in 100+ countries buy smarter and save money. Customers including ARM, Brex and Santander rely on us, and with over $75bn in spend processed, we consistently deliver 20%+ savings while cutting procurement cycles in half. The market momentum has been unprecedented, and in 2026 we were named #1 in B2B software and third overall in the Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50.

We were founded by Roy and Eldar Tuvey, serial entrepreneurs who have already built and exited two category-defining companies, and we’re backed by $100M+ from investors including Bessemer Venture Partners.

We’re a team that values candor and moves fast. Every permanent employee holds equity, so you share directly in what we build. If you’re looking for a steady job, we’re probably not the right fit. If you want to do the best work of your career, we’d love to talk.
