Global Sourcing Manager, Compute & Storage
Own compute and storage sourcing (GPU servers, storage systems, node components) from supplier strategy through delivery for massive AI data center buildout. Negotiate pricing/lead times/capacity with OEMs/ODMs, dual-source critical configs, and manage supplier performance tied to forward pipeline.
About the job
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.
