Procurement Category Buyer

About the role

We are looking for an analytically sharp, relationship-driven Category Buyer to join Kaseya's Procurement team. In this role, you will own a portfolio of indirect spend categories - with emphasis on IT hardware, software, SaaS, professional services and other services - and drive sourcing strategies that reduce cost, mitigate risk, and support the speed of the business. You will work cross-functionally with IT, Legal, Security, and Finance stakeholders, and will be expected to manage supplier relationships and contracts with precision and commercial acumen. This is a high-visibility role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, brings structured thinking to sourcing problems, and communicates effectively with both technical and business stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Strategic Sourcing & Category Management
• Own and manage assigned indirect spend categories, developing multi-year category strategies aligned with business priorities and spend targets.
• Conduct market analysis, benchmarking, and supplier landscaping to identify sourcing opportunities and drive competitive positioning.
• Execute end-to-end sourcing events including RFIs, RFPs, and reverse auctions; manage supplier selection, evaluation, and award recommendations.
• Maintain category playbooks that document sourcing strategies, preferred suppliers, pricing benchmarks, and contractual standards for each category.
• Continuously monitor category market dynamics (pricing trends, supply chain disruptions, supplier consolidation) and proactively brief stakeholders on impact.
• Contract Negotiation & Management
• Lead commercial negotiations for assigned categories including software licensing, SaaS subscriptions, hardware supply agreements, and professional services contracts.
• Negotiate key terms: pricing, payment terms, SLAs, termination rights, auto-renewal provisions, indemnification, and data processing requirements (DPAs).
• Partner with Legal and Security teams on redlines and contract finalization; ensure contracts are executed within Delegation of Authority (DoA) thresholds.
• Own post-signature contract lifecycle activities: milestone tracking, renewal management, compliance monitoring, and amendment processing within CLM systems.
• Flag and escalate material risks or non-standard terms to appropriate stakeholders and maintain a clean contract repository.
• Supplier Relationship & Risk Management
• Build and maintain strategic relationships with key suppliers; serve as the primary commercial point of contact for assigned supplier accounts.
• Conduct regular supplier business reviews (QBRs) to assess performance against SLAs, identify continuous improvement opportunities, and strengthen partnerships.
• Coordinate third-party risk assessments (TPRM) in partnership with Security and Legal; ensure suppliers meet Kaseya's risk and data privacy standards.
• Manage supplier onboarding and maintain accurate supplier master data; escalate underperforming suppliers and manage remediation or exit plans as needed.
• Identify single-source dependencies and develop mitigation strategies to reduce supply chain concentration risk.
• Operational Excellence & Financial Management
• Track, report, and validate savings and cost avoidance against targets; document value delivery in structured savings registers.
• Monitor spend analytics to identify off-contract leakage, maverick spend, and consolidation opportunities across assigned categories.
• Support internal audit and compliance requirements by maintaining complete and accurate procurement documentation and audit trails.
• Stakeholder Partnership & Cross-functional Collaboration
• Partner with stakeholders to gather requirements, align sourcing timelines, and ensure procurement supports business milesto
