Role Description Join Airtable as a Procurement Operations Manager and help reimagine how procurement gets done at one of the fastest-moving finance organizations in tech. This role owns the day-to-day of a high-velocity procurement function while rebuilding it for an AI-native era: designing automation, deploying AI agents, and raising the bar for what modern procurement operations looks like. The procurement domain can be learned by the right person; the operating instincts cannot. We're looking for someone with the curiosity, adaptability, and judgment to step into a complex function, build trust quickly, and deliver. Over time, this role can flex into broader Finance and Business Operations work as priorities evolve. It reports to the Sr. Manager, Procurement and is part of the broader Finance Operations org. What you'll do - Own and elevate day-to-day procurement operations - Run vendor onboarding, intake triage, PO creation, and urgent approval coordination across business, finance, legal, security, and IT with minimal oversight - Take active responsibility across the procure-to-pay cycle, partnering with Accounts Payable on vendor master data quality, PO accuracy, and dispute resolution - Design and scale fast-buy processes (P-card programs, catalogs, self-service paths) that take repetitive purchases out of the queue - Lead contract redlining - Own redline of SOWs and Order Forms for commercial terms, partnering with Legal on non-commercial terms - Identify where AI agents, automation, and Airtable-native tooling can replace manual work, then build, deploy, iterate, and set the standard for how the team adopts agentic systems - Design multi-step workflows that delegate routine tasks to AI rather than just speeding up the human version of them - Verify AI output with rigor: anticipate failure modes, build in checks, and define how the team distinguishes trustworthy output from slop - Build reusable tools, templates, and playbooks that raise the quality bar across the company, not just your own output - Take on cross-functional Finance Operations projects as priorities shift, scoped to grow beyond procurement for someone with the instincts to wear whatever hat the business needs Qualifications - 6+ years across procurement, sourcing, finance operations, business operations, program management, or an equivalent function - Comfortable navigating ambiguity, biased toward taking the first swing over over-planning, with genuine curiosity for unfamiliar problems - Meets stakeholders where they are and earns structure by delivering, scanning for friction and bridging gaps no one else owns - Strong written and verbal communicator who can adjust register for the audience, whether that is the CFO, vendor counsel, or a teammate in Slack - Directs AI tools rather than just using them, producing higher-quality work because of how AI is used - Has built reusable tools, templates, or workflows that others adopted, raising someone else's quality bar through what was built - Experience with procurement, financial, and legal systems (Zip, Coupa, Workday, Ironclad CLM) or a clear track record of picking up new tooling quickly - Excited that this role can grow into broader Finance or Business Operations work - Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience Benefits - Opportunity to receive benefits - Restricted stock units - May include incentive compensation Compensation - For work locations in the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, New York City, and Los Angeles, the base salary range for this role is: $170,700 — $211,200 USD - For all other work locations (including remote), the base salary range for this role is: $153,300 — $189,500 USD
