GoFundMe is a global community of over 100 million people with the common purpose of helping one another. Our mission is to help people help each other by making it safe and easy for people to ask for help and support causes—for themselves, each other, and their communities. In 2022, GoFundMejoined together with Classy, a leading nonprofit fundraising software company that enables nonprofits to connect supporters with the causes they care about. Together, GoFundMe and Classy have empowered people and organizations to raise more than $25 billion since 2010. Our vision is to become the most helpful place in the world.

Join us! The GoFundMe team is searching for a Director of Procurement who will lead our newly formed Procurement Operations function.  The Director of Procurement will develop business systems and processes to drive company-wide procurement improvement opportunities, increase efficiencies between GoFundMe and Classy and work to create, and optimize procurement operations to enhance operational excellence and synergies between the divisions to support efficient growth and profitability.

The Director of Procurement will provide critical guidance, insights, and strategic frameworks to senior management and key stakeholders to drive company-wide procurement initiatives.  The role requires a high degree of experience, business acumen and partnership across business functions to connect, implement, and manage supplier, vendor and contractor agreement negotiations and relationships, while ensuring compliance with, and helping to refine, policies and processes.
