Job description

What we do

Vertice was launched in 2022 to build a new way to manage SaaS and cloud spend. One that's fair, totally transparent, and designed for modern businesses. Today, Vertice has processed over $10 billion in spend and serves hundreds of customers across more than 30 countries. We are headquartered in London with offices in New York, Brno, Sydney, Johannesburg and Singapore.

And we're just getting started. Founded by successful serial entrepreneurs Roy Tuvey and Eldar Tuvey, Vertice has been on an incredible growth trajectory, with a remarkable 13X revenue growth in two years which has resulted in us being named as 2025's fastest-growing startup by FTs Sifted. Following our Series C investment round, 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 regions and product lines.

Are you ambitious? Do you want to make an impact and be part of a highly talented and driven team? Come and join us on this journey to build a new way to manage technology spend and simplify procurement.

Your role at Vertice

You'll be focused on supporting our internal Customer Success and Procurement teams by delivering insights into our customer's spend to help drive savings. You'll be presenting to experienced stakeholders and dealing with a range of companies from high-growth startups to established brands. You'll be based from our office in Johannesburg, reporting to the Head of Insights (based in London). You'll also have other data focused responsibilities using our internal tooling to build dynamic dashboards and automations. You'll have the opportunity to improve your technical skills by using Python and SQL, as well as using LLMs in your day-to-day work.

Things you'll have done before

• You'll have 1-3 years of experience in a challenging role in investment banking, consulting, professional services or business analytics
• You'll have strong experience manipulating data with Excel and presenting insights in Powerpoint - we use these tools to analyze software contract pricing and deliver customer analysis and recommendations to key internal and external audiences
• You'll be comfortable with moderately complex concepts, and be able to talk confidently when presenting insights to others
• You'll have demonstrable success in delivering results working cross-functionally with a flexible, agile, and adaptable approach; used to wearing multiple hats and you won't get easily overwhelmed

Things we like to see

• Education in quantitative fields, or business or economics preferred
• Experience working in a fast paced environment
• Experience recommending process improvements to help teams work more efficiently
• Experience with Python or SQL with the ability and experience in designing dashboards is a plus
• Strong work ethic with a "get stuff done" mentality
• Humility, kindness and respect in working with others. We're hoping to create a supportive and caring culture of high performing people, and your attitude is just as important as your skillset
• Individuals that are highly interested in the software market and are eager to start something new; to commit to an ambitious plan and co-create a memorable and meaningful company. Autonomy is a highly valued quality.

Why join Vertice?

• Be a part of a fast-growing, innovative startup that is changing the way businesses buy and sell SaaS.
• Work with passionate and talented teams that value your contributions and expertise.
• Be part of a culture that promotes a growth mindset, transparency, collaboration, understanding and diversity.
• Share in our success with equity options
