About the Role
Gloo is hiring a Procurement Lead to own the full vendor and contractor lifecycle, from intake and negotiation through purchase orders, contract execution, renewal, and termination. Reporting to the Senior Manager, Treasury & Contracts within Finance, this person is the control point for company spend, making sure every purchase is reviewed for economics, risk, and IT ownership before it is committed.
