About the role

Strategic operator responsible for end-to-end supply chain for critical infrastructure, owning commercial relationships with strategic manufacturing partners and driving category management to ensure supply resilience, cost optimization, and speed-to-market for a global data center footprint.

Responsibilities

  • Strategic Sourcing & Category Management: Develop and execute global sourcing strategies for high-value CapEx categories (e.g., Chillers, CDUs, Generators, Switchgear, and IT Hardware). Identify, qualify, and onboard new suppliers to diversify the supply base and mitigate single-source risks.

  • Logistics & Compliance: Oversee complex global logistics, ensuring the safe and compliant transport of heavy infrastructure equipment across international borders (managing Incoterms, customs, and duties). Ensure all vendors adhere to company’s sustainability and ethical sourcing standards.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Engineering, or a related field.
  • 8+ years of experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, or supply chain management, preferably in a technical environment (Data Centers, Construction, Manufacturing, or Hardware).
