## Job Description
## Responsibilities

- Automate recurring data-gathering workflows: vendor capacity pulls, lead time updates, shipment ETA aggregation to reduce manual overhead and increase signal fidelity
- Coordinate inbound logistics with freight forwarders, customs brokers, and data center receiving teams to ensure timely delivery and accurate documentation; integrating with our WMS and TMS systems
- Identify procurement risks proactively (supply constraints, allocation shortfalls, shipping delays) and escalate with context and options, not just flags
- Support onboarding of new vendors: collecting documentation, validating capabilities, and integrating them into tracking workflows
- Collaborate with infrastructure and finance teams on demand forecasting, PO planning, and budget reconciliation

## Basic Qualifications

- Experience building automation or tooling to reduce manual data entry: **Zapier** workflows, **Airtable** automations, or equivalent
- Familiarity with international freight logistics: **Incoterms**, customs documentation, freight forwarder coordination, or bonded warehouse handling
- Working knowledge of supply chain risk concepts: lead time variability, safety stock, allocation windows, and supplier capacity constraints
- Prior experience at a hyperscaler, neocloud, semiconductor company, or hardware-forward tech company (**Apple**, **NVIDIA**, **AMD**, **Intel**, **CoreWeave**, **Lambda**, **Google**, **AWS**, or similar)
- **APICS CSCP** or **CPSM** coursework or certification
