Wayfair is looking for a high energy, problem solving, entrepreneurial procurement professional to join the Strategic Procurement team to drive the launch, change management, and ongoing optimization of our new cloud based procure to pay system suite and subsequent spend processes. This high visibility opportunity presents itself at a pivotal point in our firm-wide spend management transformation efforts, enabling Wayfair to centralize spend on a single platform, unlocking process efficiencies, transparency, and insights at a global scale.

At Wayfair, we move extremely fast with a laser focus on customer success, and therefore look to hire adaptable doers who are great at engaging with stakeholders, are sharp analytical thinkers with a data-driven approach to solving problems, and are flexible multi-taskers who will flourish in a role with considerable autonomy, and visibility such as this one.

Wayfair’s Strategic Procurement team was established to not only focus on strategic sourcing, but to also drive ongoing optimization of our procurement systems and processes, and to promote the “Be an Owner” people principle that is foundational to our culture.
