Our Procurement team is scaling rapidly, and we’re looking for a Contractor: Procurement Operations Manager to build and standardize the enablement foundation that powers consistent, seamless experience for requesters and internal stakeholders. This role will own Procurement’s knowledge ecosystem—SOPs, templates, tools guidance, playbooks, and communications—so teams can execute faster, with clarity, and with the right controls.

In addition to content ownership, you will document current-state processes, identify where users experience the most friction, and translate those insights into clear enablement guidance and prioritized roadmaps (in partnership with process owners). You’ll partner across P2P, Source-to-Contract, T&E, and Contingent Labor to make Procurement easier to navigate, reduce rework, support compliance, and tell the story of Procurement’s impact and wins through crisp internal storytelling and data-informed narratives.

This is a high-impact opportunity to shape how Procurement is experienced across the organization—making processes clearer, faster, and more scalable while maintaining the right governance and controls. You’ll reduce friction for employees by creating the content and knowledge foundation people use, and you’ll help teams move faster by documenting processes, surfacing the biggest friction points, and turning them into prioritized enablement roadmaps. If you love building structure from ambiguity, telling crisp operational stories, and creating systems that scale, this role is for you.

Responsibilities

• Own and standardize Procurement enablement materials across the lifecycle (SOPs, templates, playbooks, tools guidance, FAQs, training materials).
• Establish and maintain a single source of truth for Procurement knowledge (information architecture, version control, governance, review cadence, approvals, and archival).
• Document end-to-end processes across P2P, S2C, T&E, and contingent labor by partnering with SMEs to capture current state, decision points, and handoffs.
• Identify top friction areas through stakeholder interviews, data intake, and cycle-time/rework signals; synthesize themes into clear problem statements and enablement implications.
• Translate friction into action by turning process insights into:
• Clear user guidance (decision trees, checklists, FAQs, what to expect” walkthroughs)
• Standardized templates and “golden” SOPs
• Prioritized enablement + documentation roadmaps aligned to business needs and compliance requirements (partnering with process owners for execution)
• Standardize SOPs, templates, and communications to reduce cycle time, minimize rework, and support compliance requirements.
• Develop internal communications that proactively notify stakeholders of process changes, enhancements, new tools/features, and key reminders (launch notes, release comms, “what changed” summaries).
• Create clear, user-friendly guidance for end users and internal teams (how-to guides, quick-starts, role-based documentation, training modules).
• Translate policy into practical guidance that aligns with cross-functional requirements (Security, Legal, Finance, Accounting, Tax, IT, HR) while remaining simple and usable.
• Use data for storytelling—turn metrics and insights into compelling narratives that highlight Procurement wins, improvements, and the evolving end-user experience.
• Own enablement content for key workflows (intake, approvals, contracting, supplier onboarding, invoicing, T&E) content and knowledge management ownership; not operational execution.
• Partner with SMEs and operators to capture tribal knowledge and convert it into durable, scalable documentation and training.
• Continuously improve the enablement experience through feedback loops, stakeholder interviews, content performance/usage analytics, and periodic content audits.

Required Skills

• 5+ years (or equivalent) in knowledge management, enablement, program/content management, operations, or process documentation in a fast-paced environment.
• Proven ability to create and maintain SOPs, templates, playbooks, and training content that are clear, scalable, and adopted.

• Experience building internal communications (change announcements, rollout comms, training notices) with action-oriented messaging.
• Ability to map/document processes and synthesize ambiguity into clean, structured artifacts (process maps, decision trees, swim lanes).
• Strong systems thinking and process orientation—ability to standardize, define ownership, and implement governance for content lifecycle management.

• Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills and high attention to detail.

About Straia

At Straia, we're building the AI-native intelligence layer for colleges and universities.

Today, colleges run on dozens of disconnected systems, forcing staff to spend hundreds of hours manually reconciling data, compiling reports, and tracking down insights. Straia changes that. We unify institutional data and layer on AI agents that answer questions, generate insights/visualizations, and automate repetitive workflows, transforming how colleges operate.

Over time, Straia will evolve into the core intelligence layer for institutional operations, where every function, from student advising to admissions to budgeting and resource planning, is supported by collaborative AI agents that understand each institution's unique data landscape.

We recently raised our pre-seed from a16z, Reach Capital, and JFF Ventures, and are now hiring a founding backend engineer to help build the technical backbone of how institutions interact with their data.

The Role

As a Founding Engineer at Straia, you'll work directly with a small team including directly with our CEO (Ryan), CTO (Alan) and CPO (Nikki) to design, build, and scale the core infrastructure of our platform.

This is a 0 → 1 opportunity to shape not just the product, but the engineering culture, architecture, and trajectory of the company. You'll ship fast, make key technical decisions, and help define how AI can power the next generation of enterprise data intelligence.

We're specifically looking for someone who consistently raises the bar. The kind of engineer whose default speed and judgment increase the velocity of everyone around them. If you thrive when expectations are high and the pace is fast, you'll feel right at home

What You'll Do

• Build the core platform — architect and implement services spanning data ingestion, query orchestration, and agentic AI workflows
• Ship end-to-end features across our React + Node.js + Postgres stack, integrating directly with LLMs like GPT, Gemini, and Claude
• Scale infrastructure on GCP for performance, reliability, and data security
• Collaborate with users (university data teams and administrators) to translate real problems into elegant, powerful solutions
• Lay the foundation for Straia's engineering culture, best practices, and technical roadmap
• Prototype fast, iterate faster — your work will directly shape how education leaders experience AI in their daily decision-making

Who You Are

• 4–7 years of experience building and shipping full-stack applications, with a strong emphasis on backend systems (Node.js, TypeScript, Postgres).
• Deeply technical, with a track record of building scalable, high-quality software
• Startup-minded — you thrive in ambiguity, love building from scratch, and see constraints as creative fuel
• Mission-driven — excited to improve education through technology that makes institutions smarter, faster, and more equitable
• Collaborative and high-agency — you take initiative, value clear communication, and have the instincts of an owner, not an employee
• AI-curious or experienced — exposure to LLMs, vector databases, or prompt engineering is a plus

Our Stack

• Frontend: React + Vite
• Backend: Node.js + Express, orchestrating data and AI agent workflows
• Data Layer: Postgres + Caching for fast queries
• LLM Integration: GPT, Gemini, Claude via API
• Cloud & Infra: Hosted on GCP

Why Join Straia

• Be one of the first engineers at a venture-backed AI company redefining institutional intelligence in higher ed
• Shape the core architecture and engineering culture from day one
• Work directly with top-tier investors and advisors from a16z, Reach, and JFF Ventures
• Join a small, fast-moving team that works incredibly hard, ships fast, and still makes time for good food, laughs, and adventures — we take our work seriously, but not ourselves
• Build meaningful technology that directly impacts student success and equity across colleges nationwide

What We Offer

• Compensation: $160K–$225K + equity
• Location: San Francisco (in office 4 days a week)
• Benefits: Health (platinum insurance), dental, and vision
