Job description

Vertice was launched in 2022 to transform how companies manage their technology spend. Our agile workflows, AI insights and expert buyers empower companies to buy smarter and scale faster, with Finance and Procurement leaders in over 30 countries worldwide trusting Vertice to manage their software purchases. In the software category alone, we have managed over $10bn in spend and have a track record of delivering 20% savings and halving procurement cycles.

Headquartered in London with offices across the world including New York, Brno, Sydney and Johannesburg, we’re shaping the future of procurement on a global scale.

And we’re just getting started. Founded by serial entrepreneurs Roy Tuvey and Eldar Tuvey, who have a track record of building two category-defining technology companies to exit, Vertice has seen a remarkable 13X revenue growth in two years. This trajectory earned us the #2 spot on the Sunday Times' 2026 Tech 100 list, following our recognition as 2025’s fastest-growing startup in the UK by the FT’s Sifted, and as fourth in Europe.

Following our Series C, we have secured over $100 million in funding from leading investors including Bessemer Venture Partners, 83 North and Lakestar, and are expanding our reach across our team.

Do you want to make an outsized impact, work with exceptional people, and be part of a highly motivated team? Come and join our mission to build the Intelligent Procurement Platform.

The Role:

As a Procurement Manager, you'll play a pivotal role in optimising SaaS procurement for our customers. You'll partner closely to develop strategic sourcing plans, navigate negotiations with key SaaS vendors, and oversee supplier relationships throughout their lifecycle. You will report to a Procurement Lead or Director, and work closely with the rest of the Procurement and Account Management teams, with responsibility for delivering great outcomes to our customers by delivering commercial strategies while negotiating SaaS purchases and renewals with their vendors.

Responsibilities:

• You’ll be accountable for Vertice’s service delivery into a portfolio of accounts, supported by Vertice’s broader delivery capability and resources.
• You’ll work with a range of customers, some of the fastest growing and best known in the world, negotiating SaaS deals on their behalf.
• You’ll work closely with the Vertice account management and sales teams to maintain strong relationships with our customers.
• You’ll act as the primary buy-side contact for our customers, ensuring that their commercial objectives are met.
• You’ll work alongside your customers to develop software commercial category strategies, jointly targeting the areas of greatest commercial benefit.
• Work with senior stakeholders to gain a deep understanding of their requirements, purchase objectives and technology strategy.

Requirements:

• You are a clear, confident and compelling communicator — in writing, in conversation and in front of C‑suite stakeholders.
• You’ll be experienced in high volume and high value transactions in a buying or selling capacity.
• You will bring real negotiation expertise to the role, with an in‑depth knowledge of the available levers to pull and strategies to employ to get the best result across from SaaS vendors.
• You’ll be a creative thinker that challenges customers and suppliers to help reach desired outcomes.
• You’re effective in managing stakeholder expectations, providing constructive challenge and ensuring all key objectives and timelines are met.
• You will bring commercial experience in an indirect procurement, strategic sourcing, or procurement consulting experience.
