Job description

BeyondTrust is a place where you can bring your purpose to life through the work that you do, creating a safer world through our cybersecurity SaaS portfolio.

Our culture of flexibility, trust, and continual learning means you will be recognized for your growth, and for the impact you make on our success. You will be surrounded by people who challenge, support, and inspire you to be the best version of yourself.

The Role

BeyondTrust is looking for a Sr. Director, Procurement to lead and scale our Global Procurement function. This person will oversee the end-to-end Procurement process, including sourcing, category strategy, and managing vendor relationships across multiple spend categories and geographies, leading a team of 2 direct reports.

In this role, you'll create and manage a procurement strategy that supports company goals, manages compliance risk without slowing the business down, and positions procurement as a trusted partner to the business through clear, practical processes. You'll lead and develop the Procurement team while building the metrics and reporting that give leadership real-time visibility into performance and spend. This role is a strong fit for someone who can balance strategy and execution, drive continuous improvement and automation, and build strong relationships across the company.

What You’ll Do

• Lead Procurement as a strategic business lever, owning both its strategic direction and operational execution. This spans requisition-to-PO, high-value negotiations, category strategy, and early stakeholder engagement across the buying cycle.
• In partnership with business leaders, build a unified Procurement operating model that spans our global operations and scales with the business.
• Lead high-value vendor negotiations and contract renewals, including stakeholder reviews with senior and executive leadership, driving measurable cost savings and favorable terms across key spend categories.
• Own the vendor lifecycle - from onboarding and due diligence through performance evaluations, service and quality standards, and risk mitigation.
• Build an AI-first procurement function, proactively identifying where automation, AI tooling, and modern workflows can reduce manual work, shorten cycle times, and free the team to focus on higher-value decisions like negotiations and strategy.
• Establish SLAs, KPIs, and reporting that give stakeholders and leadership clear visibility into procurement savings, financial performance, and spend.
• Own and strengthen procurement's policies, processes, and governance framework, including controls and approval authority, to keep the function consistent and audit-ready as it scales.
• Ensure procurement activities comply with company policies, industry standards, and applicable legal requirements, partnering with Legal as needed.
• Own and optimize Coupa as our procurement system of record, partnering with Financial Systems and Information Systems to ensure it integrates effectively with NetSuite and supports the team’s workflows.
• Build strong, collaborative relationships across the company, including Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Finance, Legal, Security, and HR, positioning Procurement as a trusted partner rather than a bottleneck.
• Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing Procurement team, building the structure and talent needed to support the business as it scales.

What You’ll Bring

• 12-15+ years of progressive procurement experience, including 5+ years leading a team.
• A track record of delivering quantifiable cost savings and efficiency gains through procurement-led initiatives.
• Strong negotiation skills and experience running complex vendor negotiations - including SaaS, technology, and professional services agreements - with working knowledge of related contract and licensing terms.
• Experience establishing SLAs, KPIs, and reporting frameworks that give stakeholders clear visibility into procurement performance.
• Hands-on experience with leading Business Spend Management platforms, preferably Coupa, and familiarity with ERP systems, preferably NetSuite.
• Experience operating in a small or lean procurement team while helping it scale - comfortable moving between strategic planning and hands-on execution.
• Proven ability to grow and develop high-performing teams, with strong communication and feedback skills.
• A collaborative, relationship-driven approach, with a track record of building trust and credibility with Finance, Legal, and business partners across the organization.
• Experience in a high-growth, fast-paced environment, ideally within technology or SaaS.
• Bachelor’s degree required.
• Strong leadership, analytical thinking, communication, problem-solving, and adaptability skills that hold up in a fast-changing environment.

Nice To Have

• Experience integrating AI tools into procurement or finance workflows to improve efficiency and decision-making.
• Experience in the cybersecurity or broader technology industry.
• Familiarity with SOX controls, internal audit processes, and risk frameworks as they apply to Procurement.
• CPSM, CPM, or a similar procurement certification.
• MBA or other advanced degree.
