Procurement Lead - Supabase

About the Role

We’re looking for a Procurement Lead to own the commercial and vendor-management function for Supabase. You’ll run our cloud and SaaS vendor relationships end-to-end (AWS, GCP, Cloudflare, CloudQuery, ClickHouse, and more), leading negotiations and renewals, enforcing procurement governance, and applying our VIA operating model (Visibility, Insights, Actions) to keep vendor spend disciplined and well-governed.

This is a FinOps-first role. You will define the operating model, standards, and source of truth for vendor spend, working closely with Finance, Engineering, and Legal.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Own vendor relationships: Manage primary cloud and SaaS vendor relationships end-to-end, leading renewals and negotiations.
• Run procurement governance: Enforce competitive-bid processes and manage larger procurement through our managed-procurement partner.
• People management: Build a high-trust team culture in a remote-first environment, including performance management and career development.
• Manage team’s delivery: Own the team's roadmap, project management (Linear), and workflow intake.
• Drive commercial VIA: Own spend visibility and unit economics; surface licensing and usage inefficiencies to drive right-sizing and consolidation.
• Build reporting and governance: Develop dashboards and reporting to track vendor and SaaS costs; establish spend policies and accountability thresholds.
• Coordinate cloud efficiency: Partner with Engineering to track optimization initiatives from commitment to realized savings.

You Might Be a Good Fit If You

• Have 8+ years in vendor/commercial management, procurement, FinOps, or technical/financial analysis.
• Have experience owning contract negotiations and renewals as a lever for unit economics.
• Have run procurement governance, including competitive-bid processes and benchmark analysis.
• Can build cost dashboards and reporting hands-on (SQL, BI tools) and are comfortable with cloud/SaaS billing data.
• Communicate clearly across both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Have experience in async or globally distributed teams.
• Are energized by building a function from the ground up.
