Procurement Manager

Spend on technology is one of the biggest items in an enterprise CFO’s budget, second only to headcount. Traditional procurement is one of the most frustrating, friction-filled bottlenecks in modern businesses. A single purchase routinely stalls for months, drowning in endless email threads and dragging in teams from Finance, Legal, Security, and IT.

Vertice is the world’s first Intelligent Procurement Platform aiming to eliminate this chaos. By combining automated agentic workflows, deep AI insights, and a global network of expert negotiators, we empower enterprises to buy smarter and scale at pace.

The market response has been unprecedented:

• $75bn+ in spend processed across our platform.

• 20% savings consistently delivered to our customers.

• 70% reduction in standard enterprise procurement cycles.

• 13X revenue growth achieved over the last two years alone.

Founded by serial technology entrepreneurs Roy and Eldar Tuvey, who have successfully scaled and exited two category-defining platforms and created $600M+ in enterprise value, we are backed by over $100M in Series C funding from tier 1 global investors including Bessemer Venture Partners, 83North, and Lakestar. We were recently recognized as the #2 fastest-growing company on the Sunday Times’ Tech 100 and named the fastest-growing startup in the UK and Ireland by the FT’s Sifted.

With headquarters in London and hubs in New York, Brno, Sydney, and Johannesburg, we are fundamentally reshaping the global B2B economy.
