Everything the business buys goes through it, from small one-off purchases to contracts worth millions, and you’ll be the person who gets those deals right. The process is already built and running on Zip, so you won’t be designing it from scratch. Your job is to run it well: move requests through intake, negotiate renewals and new contracts with vendors, read the terms closely, and advise business leaders on whether they need to buy something new or whether a tool they already have covers the need.
Where you’ll work We’re open to remote candidates across the US, but we prefer to hire in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area. Most of the team is based there and goes into our HQ regularly. There’s no hard requirement around office presence. What you’ll be doing - Review purchase requests and move them through the established intake workflow, from first request to signed contract. - Lead negotiations and renewals for software, cloud services, contractors, and other vendors.
- Review contract terms, licensing, and pricing against the market, and push back where the numbers don’t hold up. - Check whether existing tools can meet a business need before anything new gets bought, and evaluate alternatives when they can’t. - Track license usage and renewal dates so decisions get made well ahead of deadlines. - Advise business owners, including executives and VPs, on procurement decisions and cost avoidance.
