This is a part-time/fractional role reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer. You will be responsible for identifying opportunities to reduce costs, improve commercial terms, optimize vendor relationships, and drive procurement best practices across the organization. As Mode.Inc continues to grow organically and through acquisitions, you will also play a key role in evaluating opportunities to consolidate vendor relationships, leverage portfolio-wide purchasing power, and generate meaningful savings.

This is a high-impact role for someone who enjoys negotiating, challenging the status quo, evaluating alternatives, and delivering measurable financial results.

What You’ll Do

• Lead commercial negotiations with vendors to secure improved pricing, terms, and service levels.

• Identify opportunities to reduce costs, eliminate redundancies, and optimize technology spend.

• Research and evaluate alternative vendors, products, and platforms to strengthen negotiating leverage and improve value.

• Develop vendor consolidation strategies across multiple business units and acquired companies.

• Partner with Leadership teams to understand business needs and procurement priorities.

• Analyze software utilization and spending to identify optimization opportunities.

• Support procurement activities related to new products, initiatives, and acquisitions.

• Assist with post-acquisition integration efforts, including contract consolidation and vendor rationalization.

• Create visibility into vendor commitments, renewal schedules, pricing structures, and savings opportunities.

• Develop recommendations and business cases that support executive decision-making.

• Track and report on realized savings and procurement performance.

Who You Are

• A strategic thinker who understands both the commercial and operational sides of technology businesses.

• A skilled negotiator who enjoys finding creative solutions and delivering measurable value.

• Comfortable working independently and influencing stakeholders without direct authority.

• Analytical and detail-oriented, with the ability to evaluate complex vendor agreements and pricing models.

• Resourceful and proactive, always looking for opportunities to improve outcomes.

• Experienced in navigating ambiguity and operating effectively in fast-growing environments.

• Able to balance short-term savings opportunities with long-term strategic value.

• A strong communicator who can engage effectively with executives, vendors, and cross-functional teams.

What You Bring to the Team

• 5+ years of experience negotiating SaaS, software, cloud infrastructure, technology, or digital services agreements.

• Demonstrated success in generating measurable cost savings through vendor negotiations and procurement initiatives.

• Strong understanding of software licensing models, subscription pricing, vendor management, and strategic sourcing.

• Experience negotiating contracts with cloud, SaaS, data, ad tech, infrastructure, and enterprise software vendors.

• Experience supporting technology companies, digital businesses, software organizations, or high-growth startups.

• Experience with mergers and acquisitions, vendor consolidation, or post-acquisition integration is strongly preferred.

• Strong financial and analytical skills with the ability to build business cases and quantify savings opportunities.

• Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.

• Ability to work effectively in a remote, global environment.

• Working hours overlap. Some overlap with U.S. Pacific morning hours (through approximately 11:00 AM PT) is needed for live vendor calls, since many of our SaaS vendors are West Coast–based.

• Alignment with our core values:

• ​​Accountable : You take ownership of your responsibilities, demonstrating trustworthiness and self-discipline. You are consistent i
