Philippines onlyCompany Overview
LevelUp is a specialist agency providing outsourcing solutions to agencies, software vendors, and website owners. For over eight years, we have successfully collaborated with various companies, offering valuable technical, operational, and back-office support. We boast a large team of skilled and passionate professionals committed to delivering high-quality work for our clients.
Position Overview
We are seeking three Procure-to-Pay (P2P) Buyers to partner with business teams across our organization. In this role, you will own vendor relationships, contracts, and procurement strategies within your assigned department as the company continues to scale. As the dedicated procurement partner for your business function, you will serve as the single point of contact for all procurement activities, including contract renewals, new purchases, redlines, cancellations, vendor relationships, and savings initiatives. Business owners will bring their needs to you, and you will manage delivery end-to-end through our procurement system, supported closely by finance and the CFO's office. This role offers genuine ownership and clear scope, backed by a leadership team dedicated to your long-term success.
Three Tracks
The core work and qualifications are identical across all three openings. The difference lies in your specialization domain:
- Track 1: Marketing & Sales - Procurement for lead-generation tools, agency spend, and sales enablement platforms.
- Track 2: RevOps, Hosting & G&A - Procurement for core infrastructure (AWS, Google Cloud), financial software, and operational technology stacks.
- Track 3: Indirect / Employee Experience - Procurement for HR systems, facilities, taxes, and professional services.
Domain knowledge is critical, and the successful candidate must possess experience in the specific track they apply for.

- Manage the end-to-end P2P lifecycle: sourcing, vendor negotiation, contract review and redlining, routing to Legal/Security, requisitions, and PO issuance.
- Engage directly with vendors on behalf of business owners, setting the commercial tone, pushing back when necessary, and protecting the company's commercial position.
- Enforce procurement policies, ensuring all spend is committed through a PO before engaging vendors (regardless of cost) and vetting everything via intake forms.
- Capture mandatory contract metadata, service dates, and renewal clauses within the procurement system to support the "Accrual Engine" and automate month-end close.
- Act as the "Receipt Gate" by confirming service satisfaction with users and entering confirmation data into the procurement system to enable 3-way matching.

- Resolve service and billing issues while utilizing vendor scorecards to maintain high performance standards.
Requirements
- 3 to 7 years of experience in procurement, strategic sourcing, or supply-chain management, with exposure to enterprise-level deals.

- Exceptional stakeholder management skills with the ability to confidently collaborate with VPs and Department Heads, enforce policies, and drive consensus.
- Strong understanding of contract terms (particularly regarding redlining), 3-way matching, and financial controls.
- Advanced proficiency in P2P systems, with a strong preference for Coupa (or similar platforms like Ariba/NetSuite).
- Polished business English (both written and spoken) suitable for direct engagement with US-based executives.
- Domain experience aligned with your applied track (Marketing & Sales, RevOps/IT, or HR/Indirect).
