About the role
What We're Researching
We're running a paid study on how large organizations handle vendor discovery and commercial contract negotiation for enterprise communications platforms. Understanding the procurement lifecycle for messaging aggregators helps us identify friction points in the buying process. Your insights will directly inform how these platforms are evaluated and selected at the enterprise level.
How It Works
You will participate in remote sessions over a 3-4 week period to discuss your recent procurement experiences. We will ask you to walk us through your process for vendor discovery, evaluating messaging aggregators, and finalizing commercial contracts. You will react to different negotiation scenarios and share how you typically structure these agreements. The conversations will take place via video call, where you can speak candidly about your vendor management strategies.
Who This Is For
We are looking for procurement professionals, vendor managers, and commercial negotiators with direct experience buying enterprise communications platforms. We welcome strategic sourcing managers, IT procurement leads, and category managers who specialize in telecommunications or messaging aggregators. You should have recently led or participated in a vendor discovery and contracting cycle for these specific technologies.
