WHAT YOU WILL BRING TO GOHENRY: (REQUIREMENTS) * Experience: 6+ years of experience in strategic procurement, strategic sourcing, or vendor management—ideally within a regulated Tech, SaaS, or FinTech or or financial services environment. * The FinTech Mindset: You understand that "speed to market" is just as important as "cost savings."
