ID.me is a full-time, in-office culture. Unless a specific job description explicitly states otherwise, all roles are on-site five days per week at one of our offices in McLean, VA; Mountain View, CA; New York City, NY; or Tampa, FL. Certain roles — such as field-based sales or other remote-by-design positions — may have different work arrangements as noted in their individual postings.
At ID.me, we embrace the thoughtful use of AI tools in our daily work and there are even occasions where we leverage AI in our hiring process. However, during the interview process, we want to understand your individual skills and experiences. Therefore, we have guidelines on how AI can be appropriately used during your application and interviews which can be found here.
About the role
ID.me is rebuilding its procurement and vendor management function as a lean, AI-augmented operating model. We've already delivered millions in annualized COGS and OPEX efficiencies through strategic vendor renegotiations, and we're now extending that same rigor across the full vendor portfolio – proactively, continuously, and at scale.
This is a builder's role, not a process role. You'll be the second human in a function designed to run on modern tooling and AI agents, working directly with the Strategic Vendor Management leader to deliver outcomes that traditionally required a much larger team. If you're the kind of operator who looks at a tail of 100 vendors and thinks "I can find $XM in this," and you're equally comfortable planning and executing a negotiation strategy as configuring a workflow in a Procurement Tooling system, this role is tailor made for you.
You will own proactive coverage of the vendor portfolio outside the largest strategic relationships – driving consolidation, eliminating duplicative spend, renegotiating mid-tier contracts, and running the operational backbone of the function so that procurement at ID.me is materially more efficient than peer companies at our scale.
You will also have exposure to the cutting-edge strategic vendors ID.me uses to protect the American government from nation-state threat actors. This is a unique role and opportunity, you will learn how to build and operate a lean system in the age of AI.

Why this role matters
The Strategic Vendor Management leader owns the largest strategic relationships and the orchestration vision for ID.me's vendor portfolio. This role is the proactive coverage layer that makes the rest of the function work – the operator who reaches into the long tail, drives consolidation, runs the systems, and lets the strategic work happen at scale. It's a high-leverage seat at a moment when the function is being rebuilt around modern tooling, AI, and a small team designed to outperform much larger procurement organizations.
