About this Role:
In this role, you will act as a core engine for both strategic sourcing and procurement operations. You will fully own the end-to-end sourcing and negotiation lifecycle for our mid-tier spend bucket ($25k–$250k contract value), manage day-to-day procurement operations, and project-manage the digital transformation of our intake-to-pay infrastructure. This is an exceptional opportunity for a builder who loves both negotiation and process optimization.
1. Strategic Sourcing & Negotiation (40%)
Proactively manage and execute the sourcing and negotiation lifecycle for $25k–$250k contracts, focusing heavily on SaaS, Tech, and Professional Services.
Develop sourcing strategies that optimize vendor selection, maximize commercial leverage, and protect Lyra’s margins.
2. Procurement Operations & Tech Stack Transformation (40%)
Serve as the dedicated Project Manager for our Intake-to-Pay (P2P) platform implementation, collaborating with IT, Legal, and Finance to ensure a seamless rollout.
Manage day-to-day administration and optimization of our core fintech and procurement tools, including Navan and Brex.
3. Data Analytics & Stakeholder Collaboration (20%)
Act as an Excel power-user; analyze large datasets, identify spend trends, catch auto-renewals early, and eliminate maverick spend.

Build cross-functional relationships with Legal, InfoSec, Privacy, AI, Tech, and FP&A to ensure all operational intake requirements are automated and compliant.
