About the role
Top analysts like Gartner, Forrester, and IDC agree, all showing Agiloft as a leader in the CLM space. Our no code platform is easily managed and administered by business users, which is why Agiloft is the contract you keep: nearly a full 100% of new customers are satisfied with their initial implementations, and some 97% of customers renew every year. Ours is a growing, vibrant, successful company that is at the forefront of a market that is becoming a must-have for all organizations.
We believe that the way to build the strongest, most vibrant place to work is to bring in individuals from all walks of life, and to support them in bringing their authentic selves to their day, every day. Our working philosophy is that “EX = CX”: when employee experience is excellent, so is customer experience. We support multiple Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), and offer a working environment that supports healthy work/life balance, including floating holidays and a quarterly, no-questions-asked wellness day.
Position Overview
We are seeking a senior procurement practitioner to help shape the future of procurement-driven contract lifecycle management, ecosystem integrations, and AI-powered procurement workflows. This is a strategic, cross-functional role that sits at the intersection of the customer, the product, and the market.
As a Procurement SME, you will be the authentic voice of the procurement practitioner inside Agiloft—bringing real source-to-pay (S2P) operational credibility to our product strategy, sales motions, customer implementations, and ecosystem partnerships. You will help Agiloft speak the language of procurement leaders, define the use cases that matter most to them, and translate procurement operational realities into platform capabilities that drive measurable value.
