About the role
- Be at the forefront of how Zip transforms enterprise procurement through AI.
- The measure of success is whether the customer's highest-priority problems get solved, and whether that earns you access to the next ones.
- You will work where Zip's platform meets real enterprise complexity, across procurement, finance, legal, and risk workflows, and you will be expected to see what needs to exist before the customer can articulate it.
Responsibilities
- Build and deploy AI agent solutions using Zip's AppStudio and AI infrastructure, configured to the customer's specific environment and data, not off-the-shelf.
- Own the customer relationship and manage parallel workstreams across a small portfolio of accounts, keeping delivery on track and stakeholder trust high.
- Feed structured learnings back to product and engineering so the solutions you build make the platform more repeatable over time.
- We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workspace where everyone (regardless of age, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and more) feels like they belong.
Requirements
- 3+ years working inside enterprise procurement or legal teams
- You can show something you built to the team.
- Direct experience building with AI: AI agents or automated workflows of your own work using Claude, N8N, Make, Zapier, or similar. You can show something you built to the team.
- Enough technical fluency to build integrations, read API documentation, and diagnose workflow failures without needing an engineer on call.
- Procurement or legal domain knowledge to earn credibility quickly with an AP Director, CPO, or CLO. Formal credentials (CPP, CPSM, CPA, or equivalent) are a plus, not a requirement.
- The salary range for this role is $130,000- $170,000 OTE. The salary for this position is determined based on a variety of job-related factors that may include location, relevant experience, education, or particular skills and expertise.

Company info
- The right person for this role is mission-driven, moves fast, and is passionate about driving outcomes for customers.
- Embed with enterprise customers to understand their procurement and adjacent workflows at the process level: how work actually moves, where decisions break down, and where the highest-ROI problems sit.
- You will own a small book of enterprise accounts end-to-end, with accountability not just for deploying AI but for expanding the scope of what we are solving inside each one.
- We're looking to hire Zipsters and that means hiring people who take ownership, communicate openly, have an underdog mindset, and are excited to increase the pace of innovation for every business in the world.
