About the role
The Procurement & Strategic Partnerships (PSP) team at Zoox builds the sourcing, contracting, and supplier relationships that keep our autonomous vehicle mission moving forward.

- Help build standard operating procedures (SOPs), governance, and escalation workflows for the BPO relationship.
- Track and manage key performance indicators (KPIs) and service-level agreements (SLAs) to hold the BPO accountable for service quality.
- Participate in procurement operations improvement projects that streamline how the business sources, buys, and manages suppliers.
- Partner with stakeholders across Zoox to translate their requests into practical, scalable solutions
- Manage multiple projects at once, prioritizing your time and resources as needs shift.
- Use Procure-to-Pay (P2P) platforms such as Zip and Ariba to support requisitions, purchase orders, and invoice workflows across day-to-day procurement operations
Qualifications

- Practical, hands-on experience with Procure-to-Pay (P2P) platforms, including requisition, purchase order, and invoice workflows
Bonus Qualifications
- College degree with a concentration in a relevant field such as supply chain, business, or operations
