Overview
Job Description

Airbase software offers modules for Guided Procurement, Accounts Payable Automation, Expense Management, and a flexible corporate card program on a single collaborative platform. It can be implemented in full or as individual modules. Airbase automates all spending workflows and guides the process for all purchases — procure, pay, close.

The primary goal of this role is to help evangelize Airbase and build awareness in the procurement community. This is an externally facing role and reports to our CRO.

    • Engage in community-building activities in the Procurement industry (online and in-person).
    • Collaborate and contribute with our marketing team to design and drive webinars, e-books, and other content that adds value to the procurement community.
    • Assess requirements and work with prospects to overcome hurdles during the sales process by assessing fit through use cases, cost-benefit/ROI analysis, and technical competencies.
  • Build and manage Airbase’s Procurement Customer Advisory Board.

Secondary responsibilities (10% of the role)

  • Collaborate and create content with our onboarding and implementation team to improve the post-sales processes to help our customers accelerate time to value.
  • Incorporate customer POV into product solutions and messaging and refine strategies for future launches.
  • Collaborate with our finance and accounting teams to streamline and improve our internal procurement processes.
  • Collaborate with our product team to influence our product strategy and roadmap.

What You Bring:

  • 7+ years experience in Procurement or Strategic Sourcing. We believe that a practitioner who has been in procurement roles will be successful in this role.
  • Demonstrated experience of active participation in the procurement community, like speaking engagements.
  • Experience developing and implementing procurement processes at a high-growth technology company.
  • Experience driving results through the negotiation process such as contract negotiation and supplier performance.
  • Experience leading and executing decisions across an organization.
  • Knowledge of the modern (post-2018) procurement software and technology landscape.
  • Project management, and basic financial analysis skills.
  • Nice to have: Professional qualification/certification from related organizations (CPM, CPSM, APICS).
