ThoughtSpot's Procurement team is in the middle of a meaningful transformation - centralizing intake, automating workflows, and building CFO-level visibility across spend. We're looking for a Sourcing Specialist who thrives in a fast-moving environment, brings sharp analytical instincts, and is excited to work with modern procurement tools including AI-assisted workflows. This is a high-impact individual contributor role with cross-functional visibility across Finance, Legal, Security, and business stakeholders globally. You will independently manage a high-volume RFQ/PR pipeline, own vendor relationships across indirect categories (primarily SaaS), and play an active role in driving cost savings and process improvements. You'll be expected to hit the ground running — this role has real ownership from day one, not a ramp-heavy support position.

What You'll Do:

RFQ & PR Pipeline Management

• Manage and prioritize a high-volume pipeline of RFQ and PR requests across indirect categories, with a primary focus on SaaS.
• Lead end-to-end RFP processes — scoping requirements with stakeholders, running competitive sourcing events, and driving to award.
• Ensure pipeline accuracy and SLA adherence; flag bottlenecks proactively to the Procurement Manager.

Vendor Management

• Own end-to-end vendor lifecycle management — onboarding, performance tracking, and relationship maintenance.
• Maintain accurate vendor master data and ensure compliance with onboarding requirements (security assessments, NDAs, insurance).
• Support Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) with strategic vendors; over time, take ownership of QBR facilitation for your category.
• Manage contract renewals — track expiration calendars, initiate renewal conversations at least 90 days in advance, and coordinate with Legal and Finance.

Cost Optimization & Stakeholder Collaboration

• Partner with business stakeholders to identify cost-saving opportunities — consolidation, competitive bids, right-sizing, and negotiation leverage.
• Support contract negotiations with data-backed positions; document savings achieved.
• Improve procurement process visibility through accurate reporting and spend tracking.

AI & Process Automation

• Leverage AI tools and automation to reduce manual effort across sourcing, vendor management, and reporting tasks.
• Build and maintain trackers and dashboards in Excel or Google Sheets; identify opportunities to automate repetitive workflows.
• Collaborate with the Procurement Manager on tool evaluations and chatbot/workflow improvements.

What You Bring:

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Commerce, Management, or a related field.
• 4–6 years of experience in procurement or sourcing, preferably in a SaaS or technology company.
• Proven track record in vendor negotiations, RFP management, and contract renewals.
• Strong proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets, including pivot tables, formulas, and basic dashboarding.
• Basic familiarity with SQL or scripting (Python/JS) — enough to query data or automate a simple task.
• Analytical mindset with sharp attention to detail and strong organizational skills.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills across geographies.
• Exposure to AI tools or automation in a professional context.
• Experience with P2P or procurement platforms (Coupa, Zip, Procurify, or similar).

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with Coupa (P2P module, supplier portal, or reporting).
• Exposure to contract lifecycle management (CLM) tools or DocuSign.
• Experience building or improving procurement dashboards or automation projects.
• Background in operations, finance, or analytics.
