Full Job Description

đź“‹ Description

  • • 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.
  • • 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.
  • • Surface the next problem worth solving before the customer can articulate it, with the commercial instinct to understand how that expands contract value.
  • • Produce architecture documentation that captures what was built, why, and what it would take to generalize across other accounts.
  • • Feed structured learnings back to product and engineering so the solutions you build make the platform more repeatable over time.
  • • Represent Zip on-site at customer locations when required, running live testing and stakeholder sessions against real data and real workflows.

🎯 Requirements

  • • 3+ years working inside enterprise procurement or legal teams
  • • Direct experience building with AI: AI agents or automated workflows of your own work using Claude, N8N, Make, Zapier, or similar
  • • A track record of owning complex customer engagements independently, from scoping through delivery, with accountability for outcomes rather than just outputs
  • • 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

🏖️ Benefits

  • • Start-up equity
  • • Health, vision & dental coverage
  • • Catered lunches & dinners for hybrid employees
  • • Commuter benefit for hybrid employees
  • • Team building events & happy hours
  • • Flexible PTO
  • • Apple equipment plus home office budget
