You’ll own the full procurement process and work closely with teams across the company, with a strong focus on negotiating smart SaaS and technology deals, optimizing spend, and supporting the business as it scales.

This role goes beyond contracts and pricing. You’ll spend real time learning how teams work and why, the tools they use, and why those tools matter in order to secure the best deals for Lemonade.

• Partner with teams across Lemonade to learn and understand their needs and help them choose the right vendors and tools

• Lead negotiations for (mostly) SaaS, cloud, and technology agreements, securing fair pricing, strong terms, and long-term value

• Own the full procurement flow, from intake and evaluation through contracting and ongoing vendor management

• Leverage procurement tools, automation, and AI-powered insights to improve efficiency and data driven decision-making

• Use spend data, benchmarks, and market insight to find savings and improve commercial outcomes

• Build strong relationships by learning how teams work end-to-end, the tools they rely on, and where procurement can remove friction

• Work closely with IT, Product, Analytics, Office Operations, People Operations, Customer Experience, Finance, Legal, and Security to support better decisions and smoother processes

• Lead key initiatives and clearly share progress and impact

What you’ll need

• 7+ years of experience in procurement, sourcing, or commercial roles, ideally in a tech-driven or global company

• Strong hands-on experience negotiating SaaS agreements

• Comfort using data, automation, and AI tools to improve workflows and decisions

• A proven track record of optimizing spend and negotiating measurable savings or improved commercial outcomes

• Curiosity and a willingness to learn how teams work and what they need for best results

• Experience reviewing and negotiating contracts in partnership with Legal

• Clear communication skills and a collaborative mindset

• Strong Google Sheets / Excel skills; experience with procurement or contract tools is a plus

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Finance, Economics, Operations Research, Law, or a related field

• Ability to work from our NYC office at least 3 days per week

• Enthusiasm for learning and adapting to the world of AI, exploring how new technology can make work better is part of our culture
