Procurement Architect
Job description
About Ramp
Ramp is building the smart infrastructure for finance teams, embedded in the transaction flow of every dollar a business spends. We automate how over $100B in annualized spend flows in and out of 50,000+ companies: authorizing payments, flagging risk, categorizing spend, and closing books.
The problems are high-stakes, data-dense, and unforgiving.
We hire people with high agency and high urgency. We look for slope over intercept. We care less about where you trained and more about what you’ve built. At Ramp, everyone is a builder who owns problems end to end and makes consequential decisions that shape the outcome.
The median Ramp customer saves 5% and grows revenue 16% in their first year – far in excess of businesses operating without Ramp. We believe every ambitious company deserves the same.
If you want to build systems that directly shape how companies move and manage billions, Ramp is the place to do it.
About the Role
Ramp is looking for an experienced Solutions Architect, Procurement (Pre-Sales, Enterprise) to serve as the technical and functional expert for Procurement and Procure-to-Pay (P2P) within our Solutions organization. This role is designed for someone who brings deep procurement domain expertise, technical implementation knowledge, and architect-level solution design skills to accelerate Ramp’s most complex, high-value enterprise evaluations.
You will support enterprise Account Executives and Solutions Consultants in running sophisticated procurement cycles end-to-end — leading deep discovery, validating technical requirements, designing future-state workflows, and creating pre-sale implementation plans that ensure a seamless handoff to onboarding. You will act as Ramp’s primary procurement SME in the sales cycle and will partner cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Post-Sales Solutions to influence roadmap and shape how Ramp’s procurement offering evolves.
This is a highly visible, customer-facing role ideal for former P2P implementers, procurement architects, or senior-level SCs with technical depth.
What You'll Do
Lead technical discovery and solution design
Conduct deep-dive discovery sessions on procurement workflows, vendor management, sourcing, approvals, catalog strategy, and 3-way match requirements
Map customer procurement requirements to Ramp’s capabilities, identifying gaps and designing scalable workarounds
Analyze ERP configurations and data structures (Vendor Master, PO, Invoice, Receipt) to ensure compatibility with Ramp’s deployment patterns
Drive technical validation and pre-sale implementation planning
Build pre-sale implementation plans (phases, timelines, dependencies) to eliminate re-discovery during onboarding
Conduct integration assessments, including API workflow validation, SFTP/data exchange requirements, and security/permissions modeling
Create workflow prototypes, configurations, and proof-of-concepts when needed to accelerate technical validation
Partner with Sales to win complex enterprise deals
Operate as the procurement technical lead in enterprise opportunities
Join high-value and complex P2P evaluations as the primary procurement SME, either as an overlay or as the lead SC for procurement-first deals
Quantify customer pain, run gap analyses, and translate procurement challenges into measurable ROI and value propositions
Influence product and GTM strategy
Provide structured feedback to Product on gaps, customer needs, and market trends
Help shape Ramp’s procurement roadmap and competitive positioning
Maintain a bird’s-eye view of the procurement technology landscape to inform strategic decisions
Ensure seamless handoff to onboarding
Document all procurement requirements, decisions, and implementation guidance in a standardized format
Partner closely with Implementation and Technical Consulting teams to ensure they begin activation without additional discovery
Maintain consultative availability throughout onboarding when complex escalations arise
Travel
Travel up to 30%+ for onsite discovery workshops, executive briefings, and solution validation sessions
What You Need
8+ years of experience in Procurement, P2P, ERP, or similar technical implementation roles
Deep understanding of end-to-end procurement processes, including sourcing, procurement operations, vendor management, AP, bill pay, and contract workflows
Hands-on experience designing or implementing P2P solutions (Coupa, Ariba, Zip, Ivalua, Workday, NetSuite, etc.)
Strong technical acumen — API experience required, plus familiarity with SFTP, integrations, data migration, SCIM/SAML, and ERP financial objects
Experience running enterprise evaluations with C-suite and VP-level stakeholders
Exceptional communication and storytelling skills with the ability to translate complex workflows into clear solutions
Ability to design future-state workflows and build pre-sale implementation plans
Nice to Have
Certifications in Coupa, Ariba, Workday, or other ERP/P2P platforms
SQL or scripting familiarity
Experience working closely with Product teams to influence roadmap
