Sourcing Manager, Sales & Marketing

Gong is a category-defining, high-growth SaaS company, and we’re looking for a Sourcing Manager with deep, hands-on experience in Marketing sourcing and procurement to support our Sales, Marketing, and Customer Support / Success organizations.

This role partners closely with business stakeholders to shape sourcing strategy and drive execution across a fast-growing, global spend portfolio, including digital marketing, advertising, events, and sales enablement.

You’ll operate at the center of Gong’s growth engine—partnering directly with business leadership, Finance, Legal, and Security to enable rapid scaling while maintaining commercial discipline.

This role requires proven expertise in marketing-related procurement (e.g., digital media, agencies, events, and platforms) not generalist sourcing experience.

You’ll manage a broad and complex portfolio of marketing-related spend across multiple vendors, regions, and stakeholder groups, requiring strong prioritization and decision-making in a high-velocity environment.

Success in this role requires strong stakeholder engagement skills—the ability to build trust, gain alignment, and drive buy-in across cross-functional partners in a fast-paced, constantly evolving environment where priorities shift quickly and execution speed matters.

This role requires strong business judgment—the ability to consistently make sound, well-informed decisions and move forward with confidence in a fast-moving environment.

While this role is primarily focused on Sales, Marketing, and Customer Support / Success spend, you’ll also partner across the broader procurement team contributing across categories, sharing best practices, and helping to improve processes and evolve our overall procure-to-pay (P2P) capabilities.
