**Posted:** 2026-06-25

> Owns global order tracking, expediting, and vendor coordination for massive AI data center builds. Requires proven experience expediting capital equipment orders and managing multi-site supply chains under schedule pressure.

## Job Description

## Role Scope
- Own the live order tracker for all open purchase orders across global suppliers, covering manufacturing progress, inspection milestones, and contractual delivery dates across multiple concurrent project sites.
- Expedite critical and at-risk orders before they hit the schedule: renegotiate delivery commitments, coordinate freight and logistics partners, and escalate to senior leadership when a vendor cannot recover on their own.
- Run the weekly and monthly supply chain reporting rhythm: on-time delivery rates, lead time accuracy, vendor performance scores, root cause analysis on late orders, and recovery plans presented to project managers, engineering, and leadership.
- Act as the supply chain liaison across multiple project sites, aligning procurement priorities so vendor capacity and logistics conflicts are resolved before they surface as site delays.
- Travel to vendor facilities and project sites to validate manufacturing progress, close issues that cannot be resolved remotely, and build the supplier relationships that drive accountability on the next order.

## What We're Looking For
- You’ve personally expedited orders in capital equipment or industrial environments where slipping delivery dates had direct consequences for a project schedule, and you’ve negotiated revised commitments directly with vendors under pressure.
- You maintain order-tracking systems well enough that any stakeholder can understand the status, risk, and recovery plan for every open PO without asking you to explain it.
- You can read engineering drawings, specifications, and purchase order documentation well enough to catch scope discrepancies before they become vendor disputes.
- You’ve coordinated across multiple project sites or workstreams simultaneously, keeping each location’s material requirements on track without letting the sites compete for the same vendor capacity.
- You write and communicate clearly enough to deliver a root cause analysis and recovery plan to a project manager or leadership team in one page.

## Bonus
- Multi-site EPC or construction environments.
- Commodity experience in electrical equipment, mechanical rotating equipment, or structural materials.
- International shipping, Incoterms, and customs compliance.
- Supply chain analytics and project management software.

## Salary & Benefits
- Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity).
- Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
- Health, dental, and vision insurance.
- Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.
- The base salary range for this position is $180,000 - $280,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options.
