## Description (the employer's text)

### Who We Are

Rubrik is one of the fastest-growing companies in Silicon Valley, revolutionizing data protection and management in the multi-cloud IT industry. Our mission is to unlock the power of data by organizing and protecting the world's business information, and we've built a forward-thinking, design-oriented brand that is changing how enterprises think about resilience.

We don't wait for someone else to define the industry — we define it ourselves. Rubrik was the first platform to orchestrate data for hybrid and multi-cloud enterprises anytime, anywhere, blending future-proof architecture with consumer-grade simplicity. We're looking for people who produce extraordinary results, who are comfortable in ambiguity, and who are excited by hard problems. If you have a limitless drive and like to win, we want to talk to you.

### Who You Are

As Rubrik's business increasingly runs on hyperscale cloud infrastructure, we're adding an individual contributor Senior Strategic Sourcing Manager to own the end-to-end, 360° relationship with our most strategic cloud and technology partners — including AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft — as well as other key strategic vendor relationships across the business.

While strategic cloud and technology partnerships are the anchor of this position, you'll also flex into broader sourcing deals across the team's portfolio as priorities shift — negotiating agreements, running competitive sourcing events, and partnering cross-functionally wherever the business needs strong commercial leadership.

You'll work closely with cross-functional partners including Engineering, IT, InfoSec, Legal, Finance, and Accounting. You're a self-starter who's comfortable operating with limited direction and full ownership of your domain — a pragmatic problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced environment. You will report to the Head of Global Procurement and be accountable for savings, risk, and relationship health across your portfolio.

### What You'll Be Doing

### Strategic Cloud & Partner Relationship Management

- Own the 360° relationship with Rubrik's strategic cloud providers (AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft) and other top-tier strategic vendors — spanning commercial negotiations, governance, payment, escalation management, and long-term partnership strategy.
- Serve as the primary sourcing point of contact for these accounts, coordinating quarterly and annual business reviews, scorecards, and joint roadmap discussions with internal stakeholders and partner account teams.
- Structure and negotiate complex, multi-year cloud and strategic partnership agreements, including committed-use discounts, credits, co-marketing terms, and other commercial levers that drive measurable value.
- Build a deep understanding of each strategic partner's roadmap, pricing constructs, and program offerings, and translate that knowledge into strategies that benefit Rubrik's cost position and technical roadmap.
### Broader Strategic Sourcing Support

- Beyond the strategic account portfolio, project-manage additional complex deals across Rubrik's technology sourcing categories — software, hardware, SaaS, cloud, and professional services — driving collaboration among all parties to reach favorable terms.
- Develop and drive category strategy and optimization opportunities across Engineering, InfoSec, and IT, as capacity and business priorities require.
- Prepare RFQs and RFPs, evaluate proposals, and administer competitive sourcing events for a range of deals as needed.
- Manage the commercial aspects of contracts and license agreements, ensuring obligations are met and renewals are tracked in a scalable way.
### Leadership & Cross-Functional Impact

- Act as a thought leader from a sourcing/procurement perspective, partnering with business stakeholders to develop new and creative strategies.
- Build strategic relationships with both external suppliers and internal business partners to drive results and influence decisions.
- Contribute to programs that assess and promote supplier performance and development, including goal-setting, business reviews, and formal scorecards.
