About the role
We’re looking for a Procurement Lead to own the commercial and vendor-management function for Supabase. You’ll run our cloud and SaaS vendor relationships end-to-end, leading negotiations and renewals, enforcing procurement governance, and applying our VIA operating model (Visibility, Insights, Actions) to keep vendor spend disciplined and well-governed.
This is a lead role for the Procurement function where the operating model, the source of truth for vendor spend, and the standards are yours to define. It is a FinOps role first, focusing on the technical and analytical side of vendor management, reporting, and efficiency while building the function from the ground up.
Supabase was born-remote and open-source-first. We are a globally distributed team of approximately 400 members across 60+ countries, moving fast and building in public to create tools developers love.
What you'll do
- Own primary cloud and SaaS vendor relationships end-to-end, leading renewals and negotiations alongside Finance and Legal.
- Enforce competitive-bid processes and manage larger procurement through managed-procurement partners.
- Build a healthy, high-trust team culture, including performance management, career development, and onboarding.
- Own the team's roadmap, project management in Linear, and weekly stakeholder updates.
- Drive spend visibility and unit economics to surface inefficiencies and drive realized savings.
- Build hands-on dashboards and reporting for vendor and SaaS costs.
- Coordinate the cloud efficiency program, keeping optimization initiatives visible and tracked from commitment to realized savings.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years in vendor/commercial management, procurement, FinOps, or technical/financial analysis at a senior level.
- Experience owning vendor relationships, contract negotiations, and renewals.
- Experience running procurement governance such as competitive-bid processes or benchmark analysis.
- Ability to build cost dashboards and reporting hands-on using SQL and BI tools.
- Comfortable with vendor and cloud spend data and licensing/usage analysis.
- Clear communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences.
- Experience in async or globally distributed teams.
Nice to have
- Energized by building a function from the ground up and navigating ambiguity.
- High judgment and ability to drive alignment without positional authority.
