Mercury is a fintech platform providing banking, treasury, and financial workflow solutions for startups and technology companies. The company is building a modern, strategic procurement function that enables fast-moving teams while maintaining structure, systems, and commercial rigor.
You will own high-impact procurement deals and help scale procurement operations across the company. This role sits at the center of procurement execution, vendor operations, and procure-to-pay (P2P) systems. You will run P2P workflows end to end, manage procurement tooling, and partner closely with Finance, Legal, Security, and Compliance to enable smart buying decisions. This is not a traditional, checkbox-driven procurement role—you will negotiate, build processes, improve systems, and shape how procurement works at Mercury as the company grows.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own procurement intake and deal execution from request through contract signature and supplier onboarding
- Design and improve procurement processes, policies, and controls as the company pursues bank charter readiness
- Act as a force multiplier for the team, setting playbooks and standards others can run
- Lead contract negotiations end to end, including commercial strategy by coordinating redlines, pricing discussions, and vendor communications
- Operate and administer P2P and procurement tools, ensuring workflows, controls, and integrations work as intended
- Maintain clean, accurate procurement and vendor data across intake, approvals, renewals, and systems
- Manage day-to-day vendor portfolio operations including vendor records, renewal calendars, pricing changes, SLAs, and basic performance tracking
- Serve as the operational point of contact for Accounts Payable, Legal, Security, and Compliance on procurement-related matters
- Monitor cycle times and bottlenecks, and drive process and tooling improvements to increase speed and quality
- Support vendor risk intake by triggering required cross-functional reviews and escalating issues when appropriate
- Build and maintain dashboards and reports on spend, renewals, throughput, and savings to support planning and decision-making
- Partner with the Procurement Lead on reporting, deal preparation, and executive updates
Requirements:
- 5–8 years of experience in procurement, sourcing, P2P operations, or a related finance or operations role
- Hands-on experience with P2P or procurement systems such as Zip, Coupa, Ariba, or similar tools
- Track record of independently leading negotiations with meaningful commercial outcomes
- Experience building or materially improving procurement processes
- Experience in vendor risk, compliance, or third-party review processes
- Experience running workflows from incomplete or messy intake through execution and close
- Strong operational judgment, attention to detail, and a bias to action
- Comfort working cross-functionally with Finance, Legal, Security, and business stakeholders
- Ability to work with data and build simple, useful dashboards to inform decisions
Nice to have:
- Experience operating in a regulated or high-scrutiny environment
- Experience in a high-growth tech or startup environment
