About the Role
Gloo is hiring a Procurement Lead to own the full vendor and contractor lifecycle, from intake and negotiation through purchase orders, contract execution, renewal, and termination. Reporting to the Senior Manager, Treasury & Contracts within Finance, this person is the control point for company spend, making sure every purchase is reviewed for economics, risk, and IT ownership before it is committed.
The role works closely with Vendor Risk Management, Legal, IT, FP&A, and Accounts Payable, and is responsible for training the organization on procurement procedures and holding teams to them. Success is measured by savings and cost avoidance, the share of spend under an approved PO or contract, PO cycle time, PO and invoice accuracy, and full background check clearance for contractors before system access.
