About the role

ID.me is rebuilding its procurement and vendor management function as a lean, AI-augmented operating model. We've already delivered millions in annualized COGS and OPEX efficiencies through strategic vendor renegotiations, and we're now extending that same rigor across the full vendor portfolio – proactively, continuously, and at scale.

This is a builder's role, not a process role. You'll be the second human in a function designed to run on modern tooling and AI agents, working directly with the Strategic Vendor Management leader to deliver outcomes that traditionally required a much larger team. If you're the kind of operator who looks at a tail of 100 vendors and thinks "I can find $XM in this," and you're equally comfortable planning and executing a negotiation strategy as configuring a workflow in a Procurement Tooling system, this role is tailor made for you.

You will own proactive coverage of the vendor portfolio outside the largest strategic relationships – driving consolidation, eliminating duplicative spend, renegotiating mid-tier contracts, and running the operational backbone of the function so that procurement at ID.me is materially more efficient than pee
