    About the Team

    OpenAI Finance is responsible for ensuring the organization is set up for success in pursuit of its mission. Our Procurement team partners closely with internal stakeholders and vendors to develop optimal cost-efficient strategies that enhance operational effectiveness and enable broader organizational goals.

    About the Role

    As a Strategic Sourcing Manager (Non-Technology), you'll refine and enhance our non-technology sourcing function by working closely with stakeholders to understand sourcing needs, develop category strategies, manage RFPs, and oversee key non-technology spend areas.

    • Execute strategic sourcing activities end-to-end (i.e. prepare and issue RFPs, lead negotiations, renew contracts, etc.) to secure favorable business and commercial terms
    • Analyze spend and supplier performance to ensure vendors deliver maximum value from our investments
    • Collaborate with Strategic Finance to align on budget and spending metrics to maximize cost-efficiency
    • Influence strategic sourcing decisions through detailed cost scenario analysis and researching market dynamics through supplier channels, resource groups, and networks
    You might thrive in this role if you have:
    • 5+ years of strategic sourcing experience, specifically in developing strategic sourcing methodologies, executing RFPs, and leading contract negotiations
    • Experience supporting a range of categories, especially in Real Estate, Workplace, Corporate Security, Events, HR, and Recruiting
    • Experience improving efficiencies, scaling operations, and minimizing organizational risk
    • Strong analytical skills and the ability to make recommendations and influence business decisions
    • Excellent partner relationship management with internal stakeholders and vendors from developing new relationships to managing complex, ongoing partnerships
    • Familiarity with intake management platforms (Zip, Coupa, SAP, iProcurement, etc.)
    • Familiarity with Google Suite, Slack, Notion, Airtable
