Sourcing Manager

Marketing agencies, media partners, consultancies, and contingent labor suppliers support a broad set of teams across Remitly, and the commercial decisions in that portfolio move quickly and carry weight. As a Sourcing Manager on the Procurement team, you will lead it end to end. You will run competitive sourcing events, negotiate and renegotiate commercial terms. You will partner with Marketing, Legal, and Finance leaders to make sure every commitment we make is working as hard as it can.

This is an individual contributor role based in Seattle, reporting to the Global head of Procurement.

You Will:

Lead the Marketing and Professional Services sourcing portfolio, delivering an annual savings and cost-avoidance target across agency, media, consulting, and contingent labor spend.

Build the sourcing playbook for these categories — intake and evaluation, RFP templates, bid frameworks, negotiation strategy, and contract lifecycle workflow — and adoption of it across the business.

Be commercial partner to Marketing and functional leaders. Join their planning early enough to shape demand and scope rather than hand a signed decision. Bring market intelligence and benchmarks that change what they buy.

You Have:

5-8 years of experience in strategic procurement, or category management, with direct ownership of marketing, media, or professional services spend.

Experience leading competitive sourcing events and negotiating master agreements, SOWs, and renewals to closure, working with Legal on commercial terms.

Fluency with agency and services commercial models is important. These models include retainer vs. project vs. performance fees, rate cards, media commissions, and pass-through costs. Furthermore, it is necessary to build cost models that expose where value actually sits.

Strong analytical and AI skills are important. You can pull apart spend data, build a should-cost or total-cost-of-ownership model, and use it to defend a recommendation to a skeptical team member.

Demonstrated experience applying AI to bring more impact.

Working knowledge of procurement and CLM tooling (e.g., Coupa, Ironclad) and of third-party risk and compliance requirements in a regulated industry.
