Faire is a technology wholesale platform connecting independent retailers globally with suppliers. The Procurement & Sourcing function launched in January 2026 and has already delivered $2M in demonstrable sourcing savings. This role adds dedicated sourcing execution capacity to the team, reporting directly to the Global Procurement & Sourcing Leader.
You will spend nearly all your time running sourcing engagements—negotiating new commitments and renewals, running competitive processes, and driving measurable savings. This frees the Procurement & Sourcing Leader to focus on strategy, policy, and systems design.
Key responsibilities:
**Sourcing Execution**: Own sourcing engagements end-to-end for assigned categories. Identify opportunities, structure and run RFPs and competitive processes, negotiate commercial terms, and close new and renewal contracts.
**SaaS & Software**: Partner with the Procurement & Sourcing Leader on sourcing for SaaS and Software, Faire's highest-spend category, supporting negotiations for enterprise software and infrastructure commitments.
**Marketing & Professional Services**: Serve as the primary sourcing owner for these categories. Build relationships with business stakeholders, understand upcoming needs ahead of time, and proactively bring sourcing opportunities forward.
**Category Intelligence**: Build and maintain sourcing playbooks and market/cost benchmarking to negotiate from a position of strength. Contribute to Faire's growing preferred vendor list.
**Reporting & Tracking**: Track and report savings and cost avoidance through the Procurement Savings Dashboard. Manage deal memos for material commitments.
**Cross-Functional Execution**: Support business stakeholders through vendor evaluation and contract redlines (partnering with Legal). Manage approvals in Zip and Ironclad.
**Flexibility**: Flex into additional categories as needed to support the team's coverage of Faire's addressable spend base.
**Requirements:**
- 4–7 years of experience in sourcing, category management, or procurement, ideally spanning both SaaS/Software and one or more of Marketing or Professional Services categories
- Demonstrated track record negotiating contracts and running competitive sourcing processes (RFPs) that deliver measurable savings
- Hands-on familiarity with procure-to-pay and contract lifecycle management systems (e.g., Zip, Coupa, Ironclad, DocuSign)
- Strong analytical & operational skills; comfortable building cost benchmarks and business cases to support negotiation strategy
- Ability to work cross-functionally with Legal, Finance, and business stakeholders across multiple categories at once
- Comfortable operating with autonomy in a fast-paced, still-forming function—able to bring structure to a negotiation without waiting for it to be handed to you
