About Tailscale
Tailscale is building the new Internet by delivering software that makes it easy to securely interconnect people and their devices, no matter where they are.

Job Description
We are seeking a talented and motivated full-time Procurement Manager to build and own Tailscale's procurement function, reporting into our VP of Finance. As our first dedicated procurement hire, you'll create lightweight, scalable processes and systems that help teams buy the software and services they need while maintaining strong commercial discipline and appropriate legal, security, and financial controls. You’ll manage procurement requests end-to-end – from intake and sourcing through negotiation, contracting, and renewal management, and partner closely with Legal, Security, Finance, and internal buyers across the company. At Tailscale, small teams solve concrete problems and build systems that "just work," so we're looking for someone who can bring that same mindset to procurement: high judgment, strong ownership, and durable processes that support growth without adding unnecessary overhead.
