About the role
Role Scope
Own the compute and storage category: GPU servers, storage systems, and node-level components from supplier strategy through delivery.
Negotiate pricing, lead times, and capacity reservations with OEMs and ODMs, tied to the forward build pipeline rather than trailing volumes.
Dual-source every critical node configuration so a single supplier slip never stalls a data hall.
Track supplier performance with data: on-time delivery, DOA rates, and lead-time drift reviewed and acted on monthly.
What We're Looking For
You've sourced servers, GPUs, or storage at volume from OEMs or ODMs.
You've secured allocation during constrained cycles by making your account matter to the supplier.
You read a cost breakdown and know which lines are real and which are padding.
You've managed supplier performance with scorecards that changed behavior, not just recorded it.
Bonus: GPU and accelerator sourcing. ODM direct engagement. Total-cost-of-ownership modeling. Import and trade compliance.
Build and run the global spares sourcing program for critical datacenter equipment (chillers, generators, switchgear) at multi-GW scale. Qualify/dual-source suppliers, set stocking levels tied to failure data and criticality, negotiate VMI/consignment terms, and partner with reliability teams to ensure zero downtime from parts shortages.
