Strategy & Operations Manager

Vertice is a rapidly expanding technology company on a mission to help businesses manage their growing spend on SaaS and cloud. Businesses are turning to us to gain visibility and savings on their SaaS stack and cloud spend, taking advantage of pricing insights, trend data, smart dashboards, and expert negotiators.

Founded by serial entrepreneurs, Roy and Eldar Tuvey, with a successful history of building SaaS startups, Vertice has already become one of the fastest-growing vendors in the market. Following a remarkable 7x ARR growth in 2023, we have raised a total of $51 million to date, which will fuel global expansion and drive product innovation.

We’re well-positioned to achieve our mission, but we need the right people to ensure that it happens—we’re looking to scale quickly but responsibly. Headquartered in London, you’ll join a global company and work across talented, passionate cross-functional teams.

We all share a goal and a mission, so we move fast, we challenge conventions, and we're fluid between departments, domains, and disciplines. We find it takes a certain type of person to thrive here—low ego, doesn’t settle for the status quo, collaborative, and has strong views loosely held. For the right person, this could be the ride of a lifetime!

As the Strategy & Operations Manager - Procurement, you will play a pivotal role in driving operational excellence and rigor for the Global Procurement team at Vertice. The Procurement team is at the forefront of delivering Vertice’s core service offering, which involves negotiating SaaS contracts on behalf of our customers.

Responsibilities

• Stay close to the Procurement team to represent their views with the wider business including the GTM Ops, Data, Customer Success, Sales and Product teams
• Work on numerous other varied exciting and cross-functional projects

About you

• You’ll be comfortable with complex concepts, able to get to the root cause of issues quickly and formulate scalable solutions in response
• You’ll have strong analytical skills with advanced proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets and other data-driven tools
• You’ll have excellent and persuasive communication skills, both written and verbal
• You’ll have demonstrable success in delivering results cross-functionally with different teams; across competing priorities, and holding others more senior to you to account
• You’ll have a high attention to detail and expectation to the quality of your work
• Some knowledge of Procurement, or Service Delivery in SaaS is a bonus, but not essential

Why join Vertice?

• Work with passionate and talented teams that value your contributions and expertise
• Be part of a culture that promotes a growth mindset, transparency, collaboration, understanding and diversity
