Strategic Tech Sourcer (Remote - Canada)

Summary

Are you a skilled dealmaker who loves to negotiate and derives a deep sense of joy from closing a deal?

Yelp is in search of an experienced professional to join the ranks of its Technology Sourcing team. This is a unique opportunity to work with virtually every team across the enterprise and to have a direct impact on the company’s trajectory. Your focus will be to support the adoption of technology for both corporate tools and systems as well as production environments and partnerships that bring our product to customers and consumers alike.

This opportunity is fully remote and does not require you to be located in any particular area in Canada. We welcome applicants from throughout Canada.

We’d love to have you apply, even if you don’t feel you meet every single requirement in this posting. At Yelp, we’re looking for great people, not just those who simply check off all the boxes.

What You'll Do

• Lead full cycle technology sourcing projects including strategy, identifying the right potential partners, outreach, competitive bidding, pricing & contract negotiation, and contract approval.
• Organize a large database of partnerships, be data-driven, and provide clear reporting back to management on the status of renewals or other important contract terms.
• Handle multiple projects simultaneously — from quick contract renewals to in-depth new strategic partnerships.
• Ensure that all contracts are executed & cataloged, and that approved payments reflect contractual terms.
• Analyze spend and other data to solve problems, monitor purchasing activity, and conduct benchmarking.
• Build sound relationships with external vendor partners and internal business collaborators.

What It Takes To Succeed

• Enthusiasm to embrace diverse & dispersed teams across the company on a daily basis.
• Ability to credibly maneuver a wide range of projects spanning the business that are often highly technical in nature.
• Outstanding communication skills in all forms — written, presentation and negotiation.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with C-suite & senior executives as well as seasoned supplier partners.
• Preferably 4 years (or more) of technology sourcing related work experience.
• Solid understanding of Technology Sourcing (software, hardware, telco, or datacenter).
