Opportunities in United States

We believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. We recognize that mental health issues can be complex and multifaceted, and we are dedicated to treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. We aim to create a world where mental health is no longer stigmatized or marginalized, but rather is embraced as an integral part of one's overall well-being. We believe that by providing quality care that is both evidence-based and compassionate, we can empower individuals to take charge of their mental health and achieve their full potential. We are passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of those struggling with mental health issues and we strive to be a force for positive change in the field of mental healthcare. Rula is a remote-first company. We currently hire in most U.S. states, with the exception of Hawaii. About the Role As our Procurement Director, you will be the senior procurement leader for the company, reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer. You will own how Rula buys, from the first intake request to the final contract renewal, leading strategic sourcing initiatives and negotiating complex vendor contracts that deliver fair pricing, clear terms, and strong service levels. You will also take ownership of our Zip procurement platform, improving intake routing, approval speed, and the experience for the teams who use it, while staying on top of new tools and using AI and automation to make procurement faster and easier. Financial transparency is central to the role: you will analyze spend, build financial models, and partner closely with Finance so purchasing decisions align with budget. You will create a proactive renewal tracking system and maintain a complete, auditable record of vendor commitments, so no contract auto-renews or lapses by surprise. You will work closely with colleagues across Legal, Privacy, AI, Security, and Finance to support business needs while maintaining legal and financial standards. Together, you will build a clear, efficient, and supportive purchasing process across the entire company. Required Qualifications
