Procurement Analyst

An overview of this role

As a Procurement Analyst, you'll help GitLab teams move purchasing requests forward by owning the end-to-end procurement process for lower value, lower risk vendor engagements. You'll support teams across the business with a focus on Marketing Sponsorships, Field Events, and Corporate Events contracts, serve as a go-to resource for procurement questions, and use data to improve how spend, contracts, and reporting are managed. This role reports to the Manager of Procurement and is a good fit for someone who enjoys combining process ownership, stakeholder support, and analysis in a fast-moving, all-remote environment.

You'll be a key operator in Zip, GitLab's procurement system, and help create a more consistent and efficient experience for internal stakeholders. In your first year, you'll be expected to strengthen day-to-day procurement operations, improve visibility through key performance indicator reporting and spend analysis, and support the business with purchasing needs. This is a fully remote role that requires meaningful overlap with Pacific Time Zone business hours.

What you’ll do

• Own the end-to-end procurement workflow for lower value, lower risk vendor engagements, with a focus on Marketing Sponsorships, Field Events, and Corporate Events contracts.
• Manage procurement intake activities in Zip and keep procurement data current across the enterprise systems used by the business.
• Respond to procurement questions from GitLab team members in Slack and guide stakeholders through procurement processes and policies.
• Support Procurement Category Managers with request for proposal, request for quote, or request for information events, contract renewals, vendor communications, spend review, bid review, and savings review.
• Review spend data to identify consolidation opportunities, assess total cost of ownership, and support more informed purchasing decisions.
• Develop and maintain procurement reporting, key performance indicators, and benchmarking in partnership with procurement and stakeholder teams.
• Collaborate across divisions to provide timely, clear support that helps business teams navigate purchasing needs in a remote, asynchronous environment.

What you’ll bring

• Experience working with a structured procure-to-pay or procurement intake system, including hands-on use of Zip or similar tools.
• Experience in procurement or purchasing operations, with the ability to manage process-driven work accurately and consistently.
• Ability to review spend data and create recurring reports that support business decision-making.
• Ability to define, calculate, and present key performance indicators such as purchase order cycle time, savings versus budget, compliance rate, and spend by category.
• Skill in supporting internal stakeholders with procurement process questions and explaining requirements clearly.
• Strength in organization, time management, and prioritization in a fast-paced environment with changing needs.
• Ability to work with minimal oversight and collaborate cross-functionally in a remote, asynchronous company while maintaining reliable follow-through.
• Education or equivalent experience in a relevant field, or transferable experience that demonstrates similar capability.
