## Job description

## About SimpliSafe

We’re a high-tech home security company that’s passionate about protecting the life you’ve built and our mission of keeping Every Home Secure. And we’ve created a culture here that cares just as deeply about the career you’re building. Ours is a no ego culture of collaboration and innovation where those seeking their next challenge can find big opportunities and make a huge impact on the lives of all those who we protect. We don’t just want you to work here. We want you to grow and thrive here.

We’re embracing a hybrid work model that enables our teams to split their time between office and home. Hybrid for us means we expect our teams to come together in our state-of-the-art office on two core days, typically Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday – working together in person and choosing where they work for the remainder of the week. We all benefit from flexibility and get to use the best of both worlds to get our work done.

Why are we hiring?

Well, we’re growing and thriving. So, we need smart, talented, and humble people who share our values to join us as we disrupt the home security space and relentlessly pursue our mission of keeping Every Home Secure.

## About the Role

SimpliSafe is growing a lean, high-impact Procurement team, and we're looking for a Senior Manager, Indirect Sourcing & Procurement to serve as a strategic partner across the full range of indirect spend categories from marketing and technology to professional services, people programs, and operations.

At SimpliSafe, Procurement operates as a strategic enabler, not a transactional function. We're customer-obsessed, so every sourcing decision should ultimately help us protect and serve our customers better, faster, or more affordably. We aim high on complex, high-visibility categories with a “make-it-happen” mindset, and we do it as one team, with no ego, lifting up stakeholders and teammates as we climb, and staying lean and nimble so we can move at the speed the business needs.

This is a highly visible role for someone who can flex across categories GTM and marketing, IT and technology, professional and consulting services, HR and people programs, contact center and monitoring center operations, data and analytics, corporate services, and other indirect spend areas as the business evolves. The ideal candidate brings broad category fluency, financial acumen, intellectual curiosity, and the interpersonal skill to influence senior stakeholders in a fast-moving, growth-oriented environment. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated self-starter to build a truly cross-functional sourcing practice and grow into a future procurement leader.

## Key Responsibilities

- Own sourcing strategy and execution across a broad portfolio of indirect categories including but not limited to marketing/GTM, technology, professional services, HR/people, and operations with real estate explicitly out of scope.
- Build deep partnerships with stakeholders across the business, aligning sourcing strategy with each function's priorities and SimpliSafe's broader goals.
- Create, prioritize, and execute category strategies and procurement project pipelines with a focus on value creation (savings and cost avoidance), speed, innovation, and risk mitigation.
- Serve as the team's go-to generalist across a wide range of categories, developing enough depth in each to be a credible advisor while knowing when to loop in specialist input.
- Lead RFx processes end-to-end, present negotiation outcomes, build business cases, and influence budget owners and senior leadership through data-driven recommendations.
- Champion strategic procurement across the organization, driving adoption of best practices through influence rather than mandate.
- Collaborate across the organization to streamline workflows, improve spend visibility, increase speed-to-market, and strengthen cross-functional execution.
- Flex quickly across categories as business priorities shift, reflecting our lean and nimble operating style.

## Qualifications

- 8+ years of strategic sourcing experience as a generalist across multiple indirect categories (e.g., marketing, technology, professional services, HR, operations), ideally at a high-growth B2C or B2B company. Real estate sourcing experience is not required.
- Proven ability to build relationships at all organizational levels, including C-suite partners.
- Demonstrated expertise negotiating complex commercial agreements across varied category types (SaaS, media, agencies, BPO, professional services, analytics, or similar).
- Comfortable moving across categories and context-switching without losing rigor a generalist mindset rather than deep specialization in a single spend area.
- Meticulous attention to detail combined with the ability to see the forest through the trees and turn analysis into actionable recommendations.
- Exceptional communication, executive-level presentation, and interpersonal skills.
- Strong change management skills ability to influence without authority, drive new behaviors, and navigate ambiguity.
- Effective project manager with the ability to own and deliver initiatives end-to-end with minimal supervision.
- Financial and analytical acumen with the ability to analyze complex spend categories, evaluate investments, model scenarios, and articulate trade-offs to senior stakeholders.
- MBA or relevant master's degree is a plus.
