Procurement Lead
Gloo · Hybrid, Boulder, CO (3 days on site) · Full Time · Lead
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.
