About the role

Role focused on building and maintaining forecasting, planning models, and forecasting tooling to support a large-scale compute supply chain for AI infrastructure.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain the demand and lead-time forecasts that keep procurement ahead of the forward build pipeline across every critical equipment category, from chillers to switchgear to transformers to generators.
  • Track supplier capacity, lead times, and delivery risk across dual-sourced categories, and surface the thresholds that trigger a re-source before the schedule slips.
  • Model the cost and timing trade-offs on multi-hundred-million-dollar equipment commitments so buyers negotiate from data, not guesswork.
  • Turn raw supplier, shipment, and inventory data into the weekly signal the supply chain team runs on, reconciling sources that don't agree.
  • Stand up the forecasting tooling and dashboards that let a lean team see disruption coming instead of reacting to it.

Qualifications

  • You've built forecasting or planning models that people actually made decisions on, not slideware that got ignored.
  • You've worked with messy operational data from several systems and turned it into a number a team trusted.
  • You catch a lead-time or capacity problem in the data weeks before it becomes a schedule problem.
  • You write analysis clearly enough that a buyer or an executive can act on it without a follow-up meeting.
  • You've partnered with procurement, operations, or finance and shipped analysis that changed what they bought or when.
  • You check your own numbers and you know when a forecast is guessing rather than telling you something.
