About the role

Role focused on owning multi-year commodity strategies for electrical equipment, securing manufacturing capacity, negotiating long-term agreements, and driving supplier performance within Fluidstack's supply chain for electrical infrastructure.

Responsibilities

  • Own multi-year commodity strategies for electrical equipment categories (switchgear, transformers, UPS, busway, power distribution, and cabling), building should-cost models that hold up against supplier pushback.
  • Secure manufacturing capacity and lead times for long-lead electrical gear, locking slot reservations and delivery schedules against the forward build pipeline.
  • Negotiate and execute Master Supply Agreements, Long-Term Agreements, and pricing amendments, coordinating with Legal and Finance on price reviews, metals escalation clauses, and cost-down commitments.
  • Run Quarterly Business Reviews and supplier scorecards tracking quality, on-time delivery, cost, and responsiveness, and build dual-source and geographic diversification plans to close out single-source risk.
  • Partner with Electrical Engineering on specifications, standardization, and design-for-cost decisions so every design change lands with a qualified supply base behind it.

Qualifications

  • You've built and owned commodity strategies for electrical equipment such as switchgear, transformers, UPS, or power distribution, backed by should-cost models that survive supplier pushback.
  • You've negotiated complex, multi-year supply agreements and capacity reservations with electrical OEMs across global markets.
  • You use copper, aluminum, and steel indices to structure escalation terms and get ahead of pricing swings instead of reacting to them.
  • You've run RFI, RFQ, and RFP processes end to end, from supplier qualification through contract signature.
  • You track supplier performance with scorecards spanning quality, on-time delivery, and cost, and you act on the data before a slip reaches the schedule.
  • You've worked inside ERP and procurement platforms (SAP, Oracle, Ariba, Coupa, or equivalent) enough to run sourcing events and spend analytics without hand-holding.
  • Bonus: Electrical engineering background. Sourcing experience in data center, utility, or hyperscale infrastructure environments. Familiarity with UL, IEC, and IEEE standards for supplier qualification.
