ThoughtSpot's Procurement team is in the middle of a meaningful transformation - centralizing intake, automating workflows, and building CFO-level visibility across spend. We're looking for a Sourcing Specialist who thrives in a fast-moving environment, brings sharp analytical instincts, and is excited to work with contemporary procurement tools including AI-assisted workflows. This is a high-impact individual contributor role with cross-functional visibility across Finance, Legal, Security, and business stakeholders globally. You will independently manage a high-volume RFQ/PR pipeline, own vendor relationships across indirect categories (primarily SaaS), and play an active role in driving cost savings and process improvements. You'll be expected to hit the ground running — this role has real ownership from day one, not a ramp-heavy support position.
What You'll Do:
RFQ & PR Pipeline Management
Manage and prioritize a high-volume pipeline of RFQ and PR requests across indirect categories, with a primary focus on SaaS.
Lead end-to-end RFP processes — scoping requirements with stakeholders,
running competitive sourcing events, and driving to award.
Ensure pipeline accuracy and SLA adherence; flag bottlenecks proactively to the Procurement Manager.
Vendor Management
Own end-to-end vendor lifecycle management — onboarding, performance tracking, and relationship maintenance.
Maintain accurate vendor master data and ensure compliance with onboarding requirements (security assessments, NDAs, insurance).
Support Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) with strategic vendors; over time, take ownership of QBR facilitation for your category.
Manage contract renewals — track expiration calendars, initiate renewal conversations at least 90 days in advance, and coordinate with Legal and Finance.
Cost Optimization & Stakeholder Collaboration
Partner with business stakeholders to identify cost-saving opportunities — consolidation, competitive bids, right-sizing, and negotiation leverage.
