Biolojic Design, Ltd., a leading-edge company that designs multi-specific human antibodies, is seeking a Procurement Director to own and elevate our end-to-end sourcing function.

Position Overview:

We’re seeking a strategic, detail-driven procurement leader with a proven track record of building sourcing functions from the ground up. You will design and execute our end-to-end procure-to-pay process, negotiate and manage key supplier relationships across both direct (R&D, manufacturing, operations) and indirect (IT, facilities, services) spend categories, securing all mission-critical goods and services on time and within budget. This hands-on role offers full ownership today-and the mandate to hire and lead a team as we scale. Exceptional negotiation, analytical, and cross-functional communication skills are a must.

Responsibilities:

Define, Build & Implement Processes: Architect and deploy scalable procure-to-pay workflows-from requirements gathering through PO issuance, receipt, and invoice reconciliation-across direct and indirect spend.
Strategic Sourcing & Cost Savings: Develop category-specific sourcing strategies; negotiate agreements; onboard and qualify alternative vendors to drive redundancy and deliver measurable savings.
Technology & Systems Solutions: Evaluate, design, and implement procurement platforms, reporting dashboards, and integrations (ERP/P2P/BI) to automate workflows and enable real-time spend visibility.
Cross-Functional Requirements Translation: Partner with R&D, IT, Finance and operations to translate project needs into clear, actionable sourcing specifications and SLAs.
Supplier Relationship Management: Own supplier selection, performance tracking, risk mitigation, and contract lifecycle management for all critical goods and services.
Compliance & Reporting: Ensure adherence to quality/regulatory standards and internal policies; produce KPIs, spend analyses, and executive-level dashboards to drive informed decision-making.

Deep R&D & Supply-Chain Expertise: In-depth understanding of Biotech/Pharma R&D workflows, lab materials and consumables and industry-specific logistics.
Seasoned Negotiator: Track record negotiating million-dollar contracts and managing high-volume spend, as well as handling ad-hoc, low-value purchases with equal finesse.
Hands-On & Agile: Willingness to “roll up your sleeves” on transactional issues-from urgent POs to invoice disputes-and thrive in a flat, fast-paced startup environment.
End-to-End Ownership: Full lifecycle responsibility for supplier sourcing, contracting, performance monitoring, and continuous improvement.
Risks mindset: Proven ability to map supply chains, identify risks, and develop mitigations/contingency plans.
Tech Implementer: Experience selecting and deploying procurement platforms, ERP/P2P integrations, and reporting tools to drive visibility and automation.
Strong leadership and ownership- Demonstrates a proactive, results-driven ownership mentality, with the adaptability and eagerness to take on additional responsibilities-such as inventory and logistics management-and more as the role evolves
