Senior Strategic Sourcing Partner

Box (NYSE:BOX) is the leader in Intelligent Content Management. Their platform enables organizations to fuel collaboration, manage the entire content lifecycle, secure critical content, and transform business workflows with enterprise AI. Founded in 2005, Box simplifies work for leading global organizations, including JLL, Morgan Stanley, and Nationwide.

Box is building a modern, AI-first Strategic Sourcing and Procurement Intelligence & Operations organization that makes it easier for Boxers to buy, scale, and manage technology spend while unlocking business value, maintaining strong controls, and mitigating third-party risk.

They are looking for a Senior Strategic Sourcing Partner to partner directly with Box stakeholders, with a focus on Build (Engineering) and Box Security organizations. In this role, you will:

• Lead end-to-end sourcing lifecycles,
• Manage commercial and technology contracting,
• Drive proactive renewals, and
• Optimize supplier performance across mission-critical cloud software, security tooling, and support Procurement Operations with reporting and/or special ad hoc process improvement projects.

This is a high-impact, problem-solving role, not an administrative one. As an AI-first company, they need a sourcing professional who looks beyond legacy sourcing motions, knowing how to leverage AI tools and data intelligence to accelerate cycle times, proactively manage renewal pipelines, and deliver commercial value while fostering strong, trusted cross-functional relationships.

WHO YOU ARE:

• Strong Data Analysis & Reporting Capabilities: You love working with data and have advanced skills in Excel/Google Sheets and reporting tools. You are adept at extracting data, running queries, synthesizing insights, and presenting polished monthly and quarterly reports for leadership.

• Blended Sourcing & Operations Experience: You bring 3–6+ years of progressive experience across strategic sourcing, procurement operations, vendor management, or spend analytics — ideally within high-growth technology, SaaS, or Cloud environments.

• Comfortable with Technology Contracting: You understand technology contracts (SaaS, IaaS, security tools, professional services), licensing metrics, and commercial negotiation levers; you are comfortable partnering with Legal and InfoSec to finalize agreements.

• Operational Problem Solver: You take pride in structured workflows, data cleanliness, and creating frictionless procurement processes for cross-functional stakeholders.

• Cross-Functional Communicator: You build strong working relationships across Engineering, Security, Finance, Legal, and Accounting, communicating complex data and commercial terms clearly.

• AI-First & Continuous Improvement Mindset: You are eager to utilize AI and automation to modernize procurement operations, eliminate manual overhead, and accelerate delivery.

• Education & Credentials: Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business Analytics, Finance, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience. Experience with Zip preferred. 6-Sigma, Lean Sigma certification preferred.
