Technology Sourcing Manager (Remote - United States)

Summary

Note: This is NOT a role on our Recruiting team. This is a role on our Business Technology team. Please read the full job description below. Thanks!

Are you a skilled dealmaker who loves to negotiate and derives a deep sense of joy from closing a deal?

Yelp is in search of an experienced professional to join the ranks of its Technology Sourcing team. In this role, you will be an integral part of the team that manages all third party partnerships and contract negotiations for Yelp's software and hardware tools. This is a unique opportunity to work with virtually every team across the enterprise and to have a direct impact on the company's trajectory. Your focus will be to support the adoption of technology for both corporate tools and systems as well as production environments and partnerships that bring our product to customers and consumers alike.

This opportunity is fully remote and does not require you to be located in any particular state within the US. We welcome... applicants from throughout the US. We'd love to have you apply, even if you don't feel you meet every single requirement in this posting. At Yelp, we're looking for great people, not just those who simply check off all the boxes.

What you'll do:
?? Oversee full cycle technology sourcing projects including strategy, identifying the right potential partners, outreach, competitive bidding, pricing & contract negotiation, and contract approval.
?? Foster strong relationships with external vendor partners and internal business collaborators.
?? Manage multiple projects simultaneously - from quick contract renewals to in-depth new strategic partnerships.
?? Organize a large database of partnerships, be data-driven, and provide clear reporting back to management on the status of renewals or other important contract terms.
?? Analyze spend and other data to solve problems, monitor purchasing activity, and conduct benchmarking.
?? Ensure that all contracts are executed & cataloged, and that approved payments reflect contractual terms.

What it takes to succeed:
?? Solid understanding of Technology Sourcing (software, hardware, telco, or datacenter).
?? Ability to credibly maneuver a wide range of projects spanning the business that are often highly technical in nature.
?? Analytical experience grounded in solid business/finance fundamentals.
?? Outstanding communication skills in all forms - written, presentation and negotiation.
?? Ability to collaborate effectively with C-suite & senior executives as well as seasoned supplier partners.
?? Enthusiasm to embrace diverse & dispersed teams across the company on a daily basis.
?? Preferably at least 4 years of technology sourcing related work experience.

What you'll get:
?? Compensation range for the Eligible Locations is $60,000-148,000 annually. You may also be offered a bonus, restricted stock units, and benefits.
?? This role is available in the following states and cities ("Eligible Locations"): Alaska (Except Anchorage), Alabama, Arizona (Except PHX), Arkansas, Boise, Colorado (Except Denver), Florida (Except MIA/Orlando), Georgia (Except ATL), Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kansas City, Kentucky, Louisiana, Louisville, Minnesota (Except Minneapolis), Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, New Orleans, North Carolina (Except Raleigh & Charlotte), North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania (Except PGH & PHI), South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas (Except AUS/DFW/SAN/HOU), Utah (Except SLC), West Virginia, Wisconsin (Except Milwaukee) and Wyoming.
