Enterprise Product Manager, Indirect Procurement

About the Role
As the Enterprise Product Manager for Procure-to-Pay (P2P), you will own the end-to-end product strategy, roadmap, and day-to-day operations for indirect procurement across Zip and Oracle Fusion Cloud. You’ll partner with Procurement, Finance, Legal, Security, and other cross-functional teams to deliver a reliable, compliant, and scalable intake-to-pay experience. This spans sourcing, supplier onboarding, purchasing, invoicing, and payments.

This role requires deep systems expertise and strong business process acumen. You will bring hands-on experience with Zip and Oracle Fusion Procurement (Purchasing, Supplier Portal, Sourcing, Self-Service Procurement, AP), along with a proven track record of optimizing indirect procurement in high-growth environments. You’ll help define how our procurement technology ecosystem evolves over time—ensuring the right balance between user experience, controls, data integrity, and long-term scalability—while driving measurable outcomes such as cycle time, touchless rate, first-pass match, spend visibility, and compliance.

This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.

In this role, you will:

• Define the vision, KPIs, and multi-phase roadmap for P2P across Zip, Oracle Fusion, and adjacent tools—balancing immediate business needs with a long-term systems strategy.

• Act as both operator and architect: design, configure, test, and launch process improvements while continuously evolving the future-state procurement technology ecosystem.

• Own the end-to-end P2P operating model (intake → approvals → PO/receiving → invoicing → payment), ensuring it is scalable, auditable, and aligned to company growth.

• Translate business requirements into well-scoped builds (use cases, functional specs, test scripts) and drive delivery through UAT, change management, and release communications.

• Establish strong data foundations by driving supplier master governance, category and contract alignment, tax and compliance rules, and segregation-of-duties controls.

• Design integrations via OIC/Workato and REST APIs to ensure clean system handoffs across intake (e.g., Zip), CLM (e.g., Ironclad), AP automation/e-invoicing, tax engines, and analytics.

• Build and instrument dashboards (cycle time, touchless rate, exception rates, supplier performance) and use data to prioritize backlog decisions and strategic investments.

• Lead cross-functional alignment across Procurement, Accounting/AP, Legal, IT, Security, and vendors—driving clear decisions, accountability, and forward momentum.

• Triage defects, unblock month-end/quarter-end issues, and own root-cause analysis to continuously improve both process and system design.

You might thrive in this role if you have:

• 6+ years in ERP/P2P product, functional, or solution roles, with demonstrated ownership of both execution and long-range platform strategy.

• 4+ years of experience with Oracle Fusion Procurement (Purchasing, Supplier Portal, Sourcing, SSP, Receiving) and 2+ full-cycle Fusion implementations.

• Hands-on experience supporting a rapidly scaling company’s indirect procurement function, particularly one leveraging Zip as its intake layer.

• A track record of bringing best practices to indirect procurement—vendor onboarding, supplier master governance, category/contract alignment, reporting enhancements—and designing processes that scale with growth.

• Strong configuration expertise in Fusion and Zip (approvals, rules, catalogs, BPAs/CPAs), plus comfort reading data models and writing SQL to inform decisions.

• Experience designing and evolving multi-system architectures, including integrations via OIC/Workato and Fusion REST APIs, and familiarity with intake (Zip/Coupa/Ariba), CLM (Ironclad), AP automation/e-invoicing, and tax engines (Vertex/Avalara).

• Mastery of process mapping, gap analysis, and requirements artifacts (scope docs, use cases, functional specs, test scripts), with the discipline to run Agile ceremonies and define clear acceptance criteria.

• A strong controls and compliance mindset, with the judgment to design governance without slowing business velocity.

• Exceptional communication skills and the ability to drive consensus across Procurement, Finance, Legal, IT, and Security.

• A bias for action paired with systems thinking—you can ship improvements today while designing for where the organization needs to be in 2–3 years.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Information Systems, Supply Chain, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
