Senior Procurement Analyst
Mercury is building a complete finance stack for startups. We work hard to create the easiest and safest banking* experience possible to simplify entrepreneurs' and business owners’ financial lives. At Mercury, procurement is a strategic function. We have a modern approach where teams move fast and procurement provides the structure, systems, and commercial rigor that make that speed sustainable.
We’re hiring our first Procurement Analyst to help scale this function. This role sits at the center of procurement execution, vendor operations, and P2P systems. You’ll run procure-to-pay workflows end to end, manage procurement tooling, and partner closely with Finance, Legal, Security, and Compliance to enable smart buying decisions across the company.
This is not a traditional, checkbox-driven procurement role. You’ll help build processes, improve systems, and shape how procurement works at Mercury as the company grows.
*Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group and Column N.A., Members FDIC.
Here’s what you’ll do:
Own procurement intake and deal execution from request through contract signature and supplier onboarding
Support contract negotiations by coordinating redlines, pricing discussions, and vendor communications
Operate and administer P2P and procurement tools, ensuring workflows, controls, and integrations are working as intended
Maintain clean, accurate procurement and vendor data across intake, approvals, renewals, and systems
Manage day-to-day vendor portfolio operations including vendor records, renewal calendars, pricing changes, SLAs, and basic performance tracking
Serve as the operational point of contact for Accounts Payable, Legal, Security, and Compliance on procurement-related matters
Monitor cycle times and bottlenecks, and drive process and tooling improvements to increase speed and quality
Support vendor risk intake by triggering required cross-functional reviews and escalating issues when appropriate
Build and maintain dashboards and reports on spend, renewals, throughput, and savings to support planning and decision-making
Partner with the Procurement Lead on reporting, deal preparation, and executive updates
You should have:
2–5 years of experience in procurement, sourcing, P2P operations, or a related finance or operations role
Hands-on experience with P2P or procurement systems such as Zip, Coupa, Ariba, or similar tools
Exposure to contract negotiations, pricing discussions, renewals, or commercial deal support, even if you have not led negotiations independently
Experience running workflows from incomplete or messy intake through execution and close
Strong operational judgment, attention to detail, and a bias to action
Comfort working cross-functionally with Finance, Legal, Security, and business stakeholders
Ability to work with data and build simple, useful dashboards to inform decisions
Nice to have:
Experience in a high-growth tech or startup environment
Exposure to vendor risk, compliance, or third-party review processes
Familiarity coordinating basic contract redlines or negotiations
The total rewards package at Mercury includes base salary, equity (stock options), and benefits.
Our salary and equity ranges are highly competitive within the SaaS and fintech industry and are updated regularly using the most reliable compensation survey data for our industry.
