- Pursue service credits, remedies, and corrective-action plans, and ensure issues remain open until fully resolved.
- Run vendor governance, including operating reviews, executive business reviews, performance reporting, renewal readiness, and contract-compliance tracking.
- Partner with Capacity Planning and Strategic Sourcing to align committed capacity with demand forecasts and identify supply risks early.
- Reconcile invoices against contracted pricing, delivered capacity, usage, credits, and other commercial terms.
- Maintain accurate records of commitments, renewals, open claims, invoices, and vendor obligations.
- Build vendor-management processes, dashboards, and operating cadences as the infrastructure footprint scales.

## Requirements
- 5+ years in infrastructure vendor management, cloud partnerships, strategic sourcing, procurement operations, or a related function.
- Direct experience managing commercial relationships with hyperscalers, neoclouds, GPU providers, data-center operators, or other large-scale infrastructure vendors.
- Experience operationalizing infrastructure agreements involving committed capacity, SLAs, service credits, provisioning requirements, renewals, and commercial remedies.
- Track record of resolving vendor-performance issues and holding strategic partners accountable while maintaining long-term relationships.
- Strong analytical and operational skills, including performance reporting, invoice reconciliation, credit calculations, and contract-compliance tracking.
- Technical fluency sufficient to work effectively with infrastructure engineering and capacity-planning teams and understand the operational impact of vendor failures.
- Experience running QBRs, vendor scorecards, executive escalations, and corrective-action plans.
- Comfort building processes and systems from scratch in a fast-moving environment.
- Clear, direct communication and excellent attention to detail.

## Nice-to-haves

- Experience allocating constrained capacity during shortages or periods of rapid demand growth.
- Familiarity with GPU availability, provisioning, utilization, networking, and cloud infrastructure economics.
- Experience recovering material service credits or negotiating remedies following major performance failures.
- Experience establishing a vendor-management function at a hyperscaler, neocloud, AI infrastructure company, or high-growth technology company.

- Every strategic infrastructure vendor has clear ownership, performance measures, and a regular review cadence.
- Contractual commitments, renewals, credits, and open escalations are tracked in one reliable system.
- Invoice and capacity discrepancies are identified and resolved consistently.
- Vendor risks are surfaced before they affect customers or constrain growth.
- The company has a repeatable process for holding infrastructure partners accountable.
