We have a transparent and positive team culture built on continuous learning, development, empathy, and growth. We work collectively to manage spend, mitigate third-party risk, and provide world-class support as Miro's Sourcing, Procurement, AP and T&E Functions. Within the S2P organization, our Sourcing team acts as the strategic bridge between Miro’s business needs and our global supplier network.

If you’re a master of building relationships and love the challenge of optimizing spend across diverse categories, we want to talk to you!

  • Cross-Functional Orchestration: You will act as the primary liaison between our business units and internal experts. By partnering closely with Legal, Security, Finance, and other key pillars across global time zones, you’ll navigate complex approval workflows to ensure our sourcing processes remain seamless, compliant, and strategically aligned.

What you’ll need

  • Sourcing Expertise: Proven experience in category management, specifically within IT, Marketing, or Professional Services.
  • Negotiation Skills: A track record of leading successful negotiations and managing complex supplier relationships.
  • Analytical Mindset: Ability to use data to identify savings opportunities and drive informed decision-making.
