About the Role
Xaira is seeking a Procurement Manager to lead procurement as a commercial engine and a proving ground for AI-enabled operations. You will focus on stakeholder success and drive the function beyond empirical high-bar standards.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end procurement operations: P2P process, sourcing, and technology enablement across all goods and services.
- Drive adoption of our contract-first CLM framework while reducing cycle times.
- Run procurement as a service business, with stakeholder experience as a core focus.
- Support Accounting: PO hygiene, invoice-match resolution, accruals, vendor master data and close activities.
- Pilot and scale AI across the lifecycle: contract analysis, spend classification, supplier intelligence, negotiation prep, workflow automation.
- Make Xaira's procurement a showcase for AI-augmented operations — measured in cycle time, coverage, and cost.
- Translate the emerging procure-tech landscape into practical and adopted tooling.
- Lead sourcing events and negotiations across core life-sciences suppliers.
- Structure agreements that protect Xaira's flexibility: competitive tension, cancellation frameworks and leading engagement terms.
- Build supplier relationships that scale: performance management, risk monitoring and strategic partnerships.
- Drive build-vs-buy decisions across the stack (P2P, CLM, sourcing, cost savings/avoidance) with an emphasis toward lean, high-leverage solutions.
- Build spend analytics that turn data into decisions: category insights, supplier concentration, budget-to-actual.
- Own data integrity across procurement and P2P systems.
Requirements
- 5+ years in procurement, strategic sourcing, or supply chain; biotech, pharma, or high-growth tech preferred.
- Proven negotiation results on complex service agreements (CRO, services, and technology).
- Hands-on with modern procurement tools (Ironclad, Coupa, NetSuite, Ramp) and curiosity about what replaces them.
- Practical AI fluency applied to real workflows — you can point to processes you've automated.
- Strong analytics: spend analysis, dashboarding, supplier ecosystems, advanced metrics and analytics giving Xaira leverage as a competitive advantage among Xaira’s peer group.
- Stakeholder obsession - Building trust through accountability and delivery making Procurement an invaluable business partnership.
- Concise, executive-ready communication.
- Entrepreneurial: you find the gap, propose the fix, and ship it.
