New York, United States Omnea Full time
Job DescriptionJob DescriptionOur Mission

The way businesses buy stuff is completely broken. Whether it’s SaaS, hardware, or contractors, the average B2B purchase takes over 3 months, requires 50+ emails, and involves multiple different stakeholders (IT, Legal, InfoSec, Finance, etc.). No one likes the way it is and it’s slowing businesses down.

Omnea’s platform handles the entire purchasing process: giving employees an easy place to make requests (Intake), managing the necessary approvals for the purchase to be made (Approvals Engine), and automating all renewals management & supplier risk assessments. Omnea gives both buyers, and finance & procurement leaders critical visibility into how, when, and why money is being spent.

Given the current market's increased focus on capital efficiency, there has never been a more vital time for businesses to use Omnea and get control of their spend, and why in terms of revenue we're one of the fastest growing seed stage B2B businesses in Europe.

Welcome to Spend Control 2.0 — built for tougher times.

Now we’re ready to scale fast and we need someone to continue to drive our business development efforts. We’ve built an experienced team & our CEO & CFO went on a similar journeys with Tessian, driving revenue from $0-30m+ ARR, and from pre-seed to Series C (Sequoia, Accel, etc.).
