At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds and the creativity it brings to the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Lead strategic sourcing for enterprise SaaS and IT categories - owning net-new purchases and complex, high-spend renewals through a documented, collaborative evaluation process, with action plans built well ahead of renewal dates.
- Own software license and subscription strategy, right-sizing entitlements, minimizing shelfware, and replacing last-minute buying with forward-looking renewal and demand planning.
- Lead the IT hardware procurement team responsible for purchasing, sourcing, and replenishment (laptops, peripherals, networking, office AV), balancing demand with headcount and multi-region growth while leveraging OEM/distributor relationships and buying scale.
- Lead the transformation of IT Procurement (hardware and SaaS licenses) from transactional to strategic - standardizing processes, introducing supplier-management discipline, and establishing operational metrics and KPIs.
- Develop strong, trusted relationships with stakeholders and collaborate on strategizing the purchase plan, negotiating pricing and other business terms with vendors on net-new purchases and complex, high-spend renewals, partnering cross-functionally with Procurement Operations, Legal, Security, IT, and Office Operations to ensure compliant, scalable execution.
- Create pricing models based on vendor proposals to quantify various buying scenarios related to our future growth and current demand.
- Manage and develop a direct report, with the opportunity to grow and lead a larger sourcing team as the function scales.
- Assist teams to independently evaluate their best practices and adopt a value-driven mindset when purchasing on behalf of the organization.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experienced in 5+ years supporting procurement through strategic sourcing with a history of negotiated savings in the focus categories.
- Deep experience across the IT hardware supply chain (laptops, networking equipment, office AV, etc), including OEM/distributor management, inventory planning against headcount growth, global logistics coordination, and scalable replenishment processes to support rapid, multi-region expansion.
- Someone who has experience at a high-growth company and understands the nuances of expanding offices, working on global initiatives, leveraging buying power and breaking down potential silos.
- Confident with analyzing and presenting complex data to executives and business unit partners.
- Incredibly organized, diligent and able to own several projects at once.
- Proven track record of creating strong partnerships with stakeholders.
- Proficient at analyzing cost related to future growth and current demand.
- Comfortable operating within gray areas.
- Experience managing, mentoring, or formally developing procurement/sourcing talent, or a clear readiness to take on direct people leadership.
- Understands optimization levers such as demand management, consolidation, price negotiation, etc.
- Someone who holds a Bachelor's degree in a related field.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience with Zip, ChatGPT and Claude. Specifically around adopting AI to build repeatable workflows that make sourcing faster, smarter, and more scalable.
BENEFITS AND GROWTH:

- New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Strategic Sourcing Manager
Translate your credentials into U.S. sourcing standards
Pull your O*NET occupation profile for Strategic Sourcing Managers and map your Singapore-based qualifications against the listed knowledge areas. Gaps in CPSM certification or U.S. procurement law familiarity will come up in sponsor interviews, so address them before you apply.
Target multinationals with existing Singapore operations
Companies that already run procurement hubs in Singapore understand H-1B1 visa mechanics and are far less likely to treat your visa status as a liability. Focus your search on employers with APAC sourcing teams who are expanding U.S. category management functions.
Search for H-1B1 sponsorship roles on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters jobs by verified H-1B1 Singapore visa sponsorship history, so you're not guessing which employers will file. Use it to identify procurement and supply chain roles where Singaporean candidates have been sponsored before.
Verify the prevailing wage before accepting any offer
Your employer must file a Labor Condition Application with DOL certifying your salary meets the prevailing wage for your location and role. Run the OFLC Wage Search for SOC code 13-1023 before negotiating, so you know the DOL floor and can spot underpowered offers early.
Clarify the consulate filing timeline with your hiring manager
Unlike H-1B, H-1B1 visa doesn't require a USCIS petition, so your employer may underestimate what they actually need to file. Confirm they've completed LCA certification and understand the DS-160 and consulate interview steps before you give notice at your current role.
Use your annual renewal window to negotiate scope expansions
H-1B1 visas are granted in one-year increments and renewed at the consulate. Each renewal requires a fresh LCA, which locks in the prevailing wage for that period. Use the renewal cycle as a natural checkpoint to renegotiate your category portfolio or title before the new LCA is filed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Strategic Sourcing Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B1 Singapore?
Yes. Strategic Sourcing Manager roles typically qualify because the position requires at minimum a bachelor's degree in supply chain management, business, engineering, or a related field. The role must be employer-defined as requiring that specialized degree, not merely preferring it. If your job description uses language like 'degree preferred,' ask the employer to revise it to 'degree required' before the LCA is filed with DOL.
How does H-1B1 Singapore compare to H-1B for procurement professionals?
H-1B1 Singapore skips the lottery entirely, which is the single biggest practical difference for Singaporean sourcing professionals. You apply directly at the U.S. consulate after your employer files the LCA with DOL, no USCIS petition required. The tradeoff is that H-1B1 is granted in one-year increments rather than three, and it doesn't carry the same path to permanent residence without a separate immigrant visa process.
How do I find employers actively sponsoring H-1B1 Singapore visas for sourcing roles?
Migrate Mate shows verified H-1B1 Singapore visa sponsorship history by employer and role type, so you can see which companies have actually filed for procurement and supply chain positions rather than relying on job postings that mention sponsorship vaguely. Filter by Strategic Sourcing Manager or related SOC codes to narrow results to relevant hiring patterns.
What documents do I need to prepare before my H-1B1 consulate interview?
You'll need the certified LCA from DOL, your DS-160 confirmation, a valid Singapore passport, your job offer letter, and evidence that your degree matches the specialty occupation. For sourcing roles, bring transcripts and any professional certifications like CPSM. The consular officer may also ask for documentation showing your employer's business legitimacy and your reporting structure within their procurement organization.
Can I switch employers after arriving in the U.S. on an H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Yes, but the process resets entirely. Your new employer must file a fresh LCA with DOL and you'll need to return to the consulate for a new H-1B1 visa stamp. Unlike H-1B, there's no portability rule that lets you start work after filing a petition. Plan for a gap in U.S. work authorization during the transition and time your employer change around the consulate appointment availability.
