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 Specialist to join our Procurement team, partnering closely with Legal, Finance, and Accounting across the Procure-to-Pay process. Our procurement function is in the midst of a transformation, and we want to be upfront about what that means for this role.

Today, much of this work is hands-on and transactional: manually moving requests through intake, creating requisitions and purchase orders, routing contracts for signature, loading documents into our systems, and keeping records current. We are actively working toward intake and orchestration technology that will automate much of that manual work, and we expect the role to evolve over time from process execution toward greater category ownership. We anticipate meaningful improvements within the next year, but we can’t commit to a specific timeline, and that evolution is not guaranteed.

Coming into this role, you should expect a significant manual and transactional workload, and a real opportunity to shape how the function matures as the technology and processes come online. Alongside that day-to-day execution, you’ll also begin acting as a buyer for designated lower-value, low-risk spend categories—owning the outcomes for those categories. As our tooling matures, you’ll increasingly use our procurement platforms as tools to leverage rather than serving as the manual engine behind them.

We’re looking for someone who is energized by that trajectory and genuinely comfortable doing the hands-on work required to get there. 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. You Will: Own buying for designated categories Act as the buyer for assigned spend categories, evaluating incoming requests for completeness, appropriateness, and alignment to policy before they move forward Apply commercial judgment to select vendors, confirm pricing is reasonable, and ensure favorable and consistent payment terms on assigned purchases Conduct light negotiation on price, terms, and renewals for lower-value and lower-complexity spend, escalating more complex commercial matters to Procurement Managers Own supplier relationships for designated categories, including onboarding, basic performance follow-up, and issue resolution Develop and apply category expertise by analyzing spend and volume patterns, identifying consolidation or savings opportunities within your categories Run and evolve the procurement workflow Execute the day-to-day Procure-to-Pay mechanics—creating and processing requisitions and purchase orders, routing contracts for signature, loading documents into our systems, and keeping records accurate.
