About Cotiss

Cotiss is not just another software company. Though we're in our early stages, our mission is bold: be the world's most used vendor platform for project-based industries. We launched Cotiss because we saw a significant shift in how people buy. The landscape of procurement was beginning to transform, and we recognized the need for critical industries to provide a vendor experience that was ten times better. Our vision became clear: Faster, smarter procurement for project-based industries. These are the people that enable us to travel, keep us safe and connect us to each other. We are dedicated to empowering them to thrive in a sustainable and modern way. Where these organizations choose to spend their money is the way they can make the biggest impact on the world - it means better water, better roads, better outcomes. We're backed by some of the best investors in the world including Blackbird Ventures (investor into Canva, SafteyCulture, Culture Amp), 645 Ventures (Order, Fiscal Note), GTM fund (Vanta, Pocus, Munity) and Icehouse Ventures (Halter, Partley, Tracksuit).

Why Join Cotiss

If you've ever thought, if only someone built procurement software that worked the way it should, this is your chance to be that someone. Additionally, we offer:

• Equity ownership – be part of the upside.
• Great benefits including Insurance, 401k matching, 4 weeks paid leave, 10 days sick leave, duvet days, L&D budget.
• A once-in-a-career opportunity to shape an industry-defining platform.

About the Role

This isn't a step sideways. It's a step up. You'll still be listening to stakeholders, writing requirements, and managing deliverables – only now, you'll be building the product that changes procurement itself. We're looking for people who:

• Have lived experience in strategic sourcing.
• Come from project-based or high-risk industries (energy, telecommunications preferred, but transferable skills welcomed).
• Can translate procurement pain into product opportunity.
• Want to shape software that they wish they had.

What You'll Do

• Turn your procurement know-how into scalable product features.
• Champion the voice of procurement inside a product-led company.
• Define requirements, scope deliverables, and prioritize roadmaps.
• Collaborate closely with engineering and design to solve real procurement problems.
• Work directly with customers – procurement teams like the ones you've led or worked with.
• Push us to procure the way you always wanted.
• Proven experience in strategic sourcing.
• 5+ years in procurement (Manager, Head, VP level).
• Track record in industries where getting it wrong is expensive or critical (energy, telco, infra, utilities, gov).
• Curiosity and courage to learn product management – we'll teach you the tools, frameworks, and methods.

Career Path

At Cotiss, your career path can be as dynamic as you desire. As we grow there are multiple pathways you can take. This is a launchpad. You'll start in product, but as Cotiss grows, so do your options – from senior product leadership to strategy, to shaping an entire category. You'll own part of Cotiss as we grow.
