Head of Supply Chain
Austin, TX, New York, NY, San Francisco, CA, Seattle, WA$396k - $435.6kFull-timePosted 1w ago
About the role
Lead end-to-end sourcing and procurement for a 10GW compute build, owning critical equipment categories, vendor capacity, and supply chain strategy to accelerate deployment and keep procurement off the critical path.
Responsibilities
- Own sourcing and buying for every critical equipment category behind a 10GW build: switchgear, transformers, generators, UPS, chillers, CDUs, and long-lead gear.
- Lock vendor capacity and lead times against the forward build pipeline.
- Hold vendors to their production ramps by tracking every commitment from PO to delivery and acting the day a ship date slips.
- Build the category team: hire category leads and buyers, define the sourcing playbook, and own the results.
- Work with Design, Construction, and Manufacturing so equipment lands before the schedule needs it and procurement never sits on the critical path.
Qualifications
- You've personally owned $300M+ in direct materials spend on physical equipment, and you can walk through the numbers from memory.
- You've held vendors to production ramp commitments, and you can name the time a supplier slipped and what you did that week.
- You've built a category or sourcing team: hired the people, set the process, and handed off categories that kept delivering.
- You've worked electrical and mechanical equipment lead times hands-on, down to the factory slot and the test date.
- You've scaled supply at a company going from prototype to volume, where the playbook didn't exist and you wrote it.
- You've made sourcing calls on incomplete data, owned the ones that went wrong, and can say what you changed after.
