WHY BOX NEEDS YOU

Box is building a modern, AI-first Strategic Sourcing and Procurement Intelligence & Operations organization that makes it easier for Boxers to buy, travel, and manage spend — while creating value, maintaining strong controls, and managing risk.

We're looking for a Senior Team Manager to lead the team, systems, and programs powering Box's procurement and spend experience — with operational ownership of Zip, Navan, and Brex, spanning procurement intake and workflows, business travel and expense, and corporate cards.

This is a problem-solving and operational leadership role, not an administrative one. You'll identify root causes behind operational challenges and turn complex or ambiguous problems into scalable solutions — partnering closely with Strategic Sourcing, Controllership, Legal, Supplier Trust, IT, and Enterprise Systems.

As an AI-first company, we want a leader who looks beyond automating existing processes to rethink how work should be designed — knowing where technology can simplify or eliminate manual effort, where self-service can improve the employee experience, and where human judgment remains essential.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Lead the team: Set priorities, ownership, accountability, and development opportunities for Procurement Intelligence & Operations.

• Own platform strategy and governance: Lead the ongoing management and evolution of Zip (procurement intake and workflows), Navan (business travel and expense), and Brex (corporate cards), with end-to-end ownership of policies, processes, and controls across all three. Define governance, documentation, and change management for procurement systems and programs, and right-size S2P/P2P, T&E, and Corp Card policies based on business needs and risk.

• Redesign how work gets done, AI-first: Evaluate procurement and spend processes to determine where AI, automation, self-service, operational support, or human expertise can create a simpler, more scalable experience — prioritizing opportunities to reduce manual effort, increase capacity, and strengthen controls while maintaining appropriate human oversight.

• Partner cross-functionally: Improve intake and routing with Strategic Sourcing based on complexity, risk, and business impact; translate business needs into process and system requirements with IT and Enterprise Systems.

• Measure and act on outcomes: Track cycle time, volume, service levels, adoption, compliance, and employee experience, and use that data to identify trends, risks, and opportunities that inform decisions and priorities.

• Enable self-service: Build SOPs, playbooks, training, and resources that make procurement easier for Boxers to navigate while leveraging AI tools and agents.

• Serve as an escalation point: Bring structure to ambiguous, cross-functional issues, applying sound judgment across speed, employee experience, cost, scalability, controls, and risk to drive resolution.

• Drive operational execution and issue resolution: Manage, prioritize, and drive open operational tickets, requests, and action items to prompt resolution, ensuring deliverables and process enhancements cross the finish line on time.

• Champion project execution and organization: Establish clear tracking mechanisms, roadmaps, and structured workflows for concurrent projects, ensuring dependencies, milestones, and deliverables remain organized and accountable end to end.

WHO YOU ARE

• You have an AI-first mindset: You're curious about how AI, automation, data, and technology can reshape how work is performed — not just where to apply AI to an existing process. You know how to distinguish work that should be simplified, automated, or self-served from work that requires human expertise and oversight, and you evaluate every change by measurable impact (experience, speed, capacity, quality, controls, scalability) rather than technology adoption alone.

• You have 5–7+ years of experience in procurement, procurement operations, source-to-pay, procure-to-pay, finance operations, or a related function. T&E and corp card experience is a plus.

• You have people leadership experience: You have managed a team of 5+, with a track record of creating accountability, developing talent, and enabling teams to perform at a high level.

• You are an analytical, root-cause problem solver: You can use data to diagnose problems, recognize patterns, and evaluate alternatives independently — comfortable bringing structure to ambiguity and driving solutions from recommendation & alignment, through implementation.

• You thrive in ambiguity: You're comfortable navigating change and prioritizing across multiple concurrent programs without a predetermined answer.

• You have platform experience: You have owned procurement, travel, expense, corporate card, or spend-management programs and systems at a global organization of 3,000+ employees with nine-figure annual spend. Experience with Zip, Navan, Brex, or similar platforms is strongly preferred.

• You have strong source-to-pay and procure-to-pay knowledge: You understand S2P/P2P processes, policies, controls, and operational best practices end to end.

• You have transformation and program management experience: You have led or actively contributed to process redesign, system implementations, workflow optimization, or automation initiatives — managing scope, timelines, and cross-functional dependencies along the way.

• You influence cross-functionally: You have experience partnering with teams such as Controllership, Legal, IT, Enterprise Systems, Strategic Sourcing, Risk, or Security and can drive alignment without relying on authority.

• You are strategic but hands-on: You can set direction for the function while staying close enough to the work to see where processes, systems, and handoffs are breaking down.

• You are a strong communicator: You can translate complex operational issues and data into clear recommendations for both working teams and leadership.

• You are exceptionally organized and structured: You bring operational rigor and strong organization, with the ability to maintain structured documentation, manage project backlogs, and keep multiple workstreams moving smoothly without dropping details.
