At Lucid, we’re not only redefining what a luxury EV can be; we’re also building the operational foundations that allow innovation to scale.
About The Team
The Indirect Procurement team plays a critical role in that mission. We partner closely with the business to enable speed, accountability, and smart decision‑making, while actively transforming how procurement works through better systems, processes, data, and engagement.
About The Role
We’re looking for a Global Sourcing & Procurement Specialist to join this growing team and help support high‑impact service categories including Marketing, Sales, Brand, PR & Communications, Fleet, and Service .
What You Own
Procurement execution (P2P)
Act as a day‑to‑day procurement partner for stakeholders across Marketing, Sales, Brand, Communications, and Fleet
Own intake support, PR/PO readiness, contract routing, amendments, change orders, and invoice alignment
Coordinate closely with Legal, Finance, and Accounts Payable to ensure contracts, POs, and invoices are accurate and processed on time
Maintain trackers, logs, and dashboards to provide visibility into active workstreams, timelines, and risks
Sourcing & contracting support (S2C)
Support and lead low‑to‑mid complexity sourcing and contracting activities (generally under $100K)
Assist with supplier negotiations, contract reviews, commercial term discussions, amendments, and execution
Partner with Category Managers on bid support, pricing analysis, and contract close‑out
Data, insights, and communication
Track and analyze spend and procurement data using Excel and system reports
Identify trends, gaps, and risks, and support forecasting and planning discussions
Create clear, visual reporting tools to enable data‑driven decision‑making for stakeholders and procurement leaders
Continuous improvement & transformation
Identify opportunities to streamline workflows and improve stakeholder experience
Contribute to procurement transformation initiatives spanning tools, systems, processes, and engagement models
Help scale procurement capabilities as Lucid continues to grow
Category Strategy & Supplier Management
Support the development and execution of category strategies for assigned spend areas.
Partner with stakeholders to understand business objectives and translate them into procurement and sourcing strategies.
Manage supplier relationships, including performance management, risk mitigation, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Conduct market research, supplier assessments, benchmarking, and pricing analyses to identify opportunities, evaluate competitiveness, and inform sourcing decisions.
Lead commercial negotiations for low-to-medium complexity engagements.
Identify and execute supplier consolidation, cost savings, cost avoidance, and value creation opportunities across assigned categories.
Support budget planning, forecasting, and annual contracting activities with business stakeholders.
What You Bring
We’re looking for a motivated, hands‑on individual contributor with a strong foundation in procure‑to‑pay (P2P), practical exposure to sourcing‑to‑contract (S2C), and the ability to manage a category from end to end. This person should be comfortable owning the full procurement lifecycle—from intake, purchase requisitions, purchase orders, and invoice alignment to sourcing support, supplier engagement, contracting coordination, and stakeholder communication—while helping strengthen and transform how procurement operates.
A Successful Candidate
Is familiar with basic purchasing and accounting fundamentals and understands how procurement decisions impact budgets, payments, and financial controls
Is analytical and comfortable working with data to organize, analyze, interpret, and translate information into clear, practical insights
Is strong with Microsoft Office tools, including Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Outlook, and Teams, and can use them to create clear reporting, presentations, trackers, and stakeholder communications
Can create visual tools and dashboards to communicate status, trends, risks, and insights to a variety of stakeholders
Is curious and resourceful in using AI and automation tools to improve efficiency, reduce manual work, and streamline procurement processes
Is capable of thinking outside the box to navigate a growing and evolving set of business challenges
Is highly organized and comfortable working across multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
Is energized by transformation and wants to help modernize procurement across systems, processes, and ways of working
Wants to be part of a team that's focused on making a real difference
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in supply chain, Business, Finance, or a related field preferred; equivalent experience will also be considered.
3-4 years of experience in Indirect Procurement
Strong foundation in S2C and P2P processes
Working knowledge of the PR → PO → Invoice lifecycle
Experience developing and executing category strategies and category plans
Strong analytical skills, including the ability to work with data and build visual summaries
Proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with Coupa and ERP systems (SAP a plus)
Experience supporting services categories (e.g., marketing, agencies, professional services, fleet, or similar)
Work Requirement
This role is fully onsite in Phoenix, AZ. Daily in-person presence is required.
We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every requirement.
If you bring strong fundamentals, the right mindset, and excitement about transforming procurement, we’d love to hear from you.
