Job summary

B-Stock is hiring its first dedicated procurement hire to own how we buy software renewals, tool requests, and indirect services. You will ensure right pricing, correct scope, and a strong business case behind every vendor spend, leading end-to-end renewal negotiations.

B-Stock is an office-first company with on-site three days per week in Boston, MA, and partial remote work on Monday and Friday. You will build playbooks, approval workflows, and AI-enabled contracting processes to accelerate

Qualifications

• 5+ years in procurement, strategic sourcing, vendor management, or a finance/operations role where you personally negotiated software and services contracts
• Track record of measurable savings. You can point to specific renewals you negotiated down and explain how you did it.
• Strong commercial and analytical skills: you model total cost of ownership, read usage data, compare pricing structures, and build a business case in a spreadsheet
• Experience building processes from scratch: intake, approval workflows, playbooks, and templates that other teams actually adopt
• Hands-on experience applying AI tools within analytical or operating workflows to build automations or multi-step processes, and comfort quickly adopting new AI capabilities as they emerge

Responsibilities

• Own the renewal calendar for all SaaS and indirect vendors. Start every material renewal 90+ days out with a usage review, benchmark pricing, and a negotiation plan.
• Lead commercial negotiations: price, seat and tier right-sizing, multi-year terms, price-increase caps, payment terms, auto-renewal and termination rights.
• Build and roll out a procurement playbook: intake process, approval matrix and signing authority, negotiation guides by vendor category, standard terms, and redline fallbacks, in partnership with Finance and Legal.
• Develop a business-case framework and templates (cost, usage, ROI, overlap with existing tools, exit path) that teams use before requesting new spend, and make sure approved cases get implemented and measured.
• Maintain a single source of truth for vendor spend, contracts, owners, and renewal dates. Report savings and cost avoidance to leadership using a consistent methodology.
