For over 20 years, Smartsheet has empowered teams to manage work seamlessly and scale solutions smarter. Now, in our most ambitious chapter yet, we are uniting human teams with AI agents. By orchestrating the work agents do best, automating manual tasks and uncovering insights at scale, we create the space for people to focus on what truly matters: judgment, creativity, and big thinking.

That is magic at work, and it’s what we show up for every day. Smartsheet is looking for an experienced Procurement Manager to lead sourcing and contracting across our IT, Security, Product, and Engineering organizations. This is a fast-paced, high-visibility area: you’ll manage a high volume of concurrent, often complex agreements, and much of what you source feeds directly into how we build, secure, and ship our product—so the commercial and risk decisions you own carry real downstream impact.

This is not a transactional buying role. You analyze markets, negotiate terms, manage renewals, identify process improvements, and shape category strategy. You escalate thoughtfully, knowing which decisions you own versus when business leadership should weigh in, and you’re accountable for outcomes: if sourcing stalls, if a vendor relationship breaks down, or if contract terms miss the mark, that lands with you.

This is a senior individual contributor role with manager-level accountability and no direct reports. You’ll partner closely with technical stakeholders, Legal, and Finance to move work through the pipeline while maintaining strong commercial and risk discipline, and you’ll help mature how procurement operates as our function and tooling evolve. This role reports to a Senior Procurement Manager located in the US.

This role is eligible for remote work within Costa Rica. You must reside in Costa Rica.
