Commercial FinOps Lead — Build Supabase's Vendor & Cloud Spend Function from Zero (Remote, Worldwide)
About the Role
Supabase is looking for a Commercial FinOps Lead to own the commercial and vendor-management function — a founding role for a team that doesn't exist yet. You'll run cloud and SaaS vendor relationships end-to-end (AWS, GCP, Cloudflare, CloudQuery, ClickHouse, and more), lead negotiations and renewals, enforce procurement governance, and apply the VIA operating model — Visibility, Insights, Actions — to keep vendor spend disciplined and well-governed.
What You'll Own
- Vendor relationships: run primary cloud and SaaS vendor relationships end-to-end, leading renewals and negotiations alongside Finance and Legal
- Procurement governance: enforce the competitive-bid process for incoming requests and manage larger procurement through the managed-procurement partner — keeping oversight and accountability with FinOps
- Commercial VIA: own spend visibility, the source of truth for vendor spend, reporting, and efficiency across the company
- The standards: the operating model, the data, and the commercial interface are yours to define
Who Fits
This is a FinOps role first, not a procurement desk. You're fluent across finance and engineering, thrive in async, fast-moving environments, and want to build a function from the ground up rather than inherit one. You work closely with Finance, Engineering, Legal, and vendor partners.
Why Supabase
A chance to define a function from day one at a company growing fast in open-source infrastructure — with direct exposure to the biggest cloud vendors and the freedom to set the playbook.
