## Job Description
## What You'll Be Working On

### I. Demand Planning & Inventory Management
- Own SPARK's forward-looking material requirements plan. Translate the deployment roadmap into a rolling 12–18 month procurement schedule—independently determining what needs to be ordered, in what quantity, and when.
- Establish and manage safety stock for long-lead items (transformers, cooling modules).
- Build and maintain a real-time supply chain dashboard with visibility into order status, lead times, supplier performance, and risk flags.

### II. Supply Chain Risk Management
- Proactively identify and maintain a formal register of supply chain risks—with live mitigation plans and escalation triggers.
- Develop and maintain pre-qualified backup suppliers for all Tier 1 components.
- Own the BU's response playbook for supply disruptions.

### III. BOM Ownership & Cost Optimization
- Own the SPARK bill of materials from a procurement and cost perspective. Drive iterative cost reduction with the Principal Design Engineer and Crusoe Industries.
- Lead should-cost modeling to benchmark supplier pricing.
- Track and report BOM cost variance against unit economics targets.

### IV. Strategic Sourcing & Supplier Management
- Source, qualify, and manage suppliers for SPARK's critical and long-lead components—including power transformers, cooling systems, high-density racks, networking hardware, and structural assemblies.
- Identify SPARK's single-source exposure and develop alternative sourcing options.
- Ensure commercial terms, delivery windows, and quality standards in supplier agreements.

### V. New & Emerging Product Support
- Partner with the Principal Design Engineer during product development to shape component selection.
- Lead qualification and integration of suppliers new to the SPARK team.
- Coordinate with Crusoe Industries to unify factory-level procurement with SPARK-side strategic inventory.

## What You'll Bring To The Team
- **Hardware Supply Chain Experience**: 10+ years in supply chain, strategic sourcing, or procurement in a hardware-intensive environment—data center infrastructure, power systems, industrial manufacturing, or equivalent.
- **Long-Lead Component Expertise**: Demonstrated success managing supplier relationships for long-lead, capital-intensive components such as transformers, UPS, cooling systems, or structural steel.
- **MRP/ERP Proficiency**: Strong command of MRP/ERP systems and procurement tools. Experience building supply chain processes from scratch in a high-growth environment.
- **Cost Reduction Track Record**: Measurable history of driving BOM cost reduction through supplier negotiations, design-to-cost collaboration, and volume leverage.
- **Cross-Functional Influence**: Ability to operate independently and influence engineering, finance, and manufacturing partners without direct authority.
- **Bias for Speed**: Comfortable making procurement decisions in ambiguous, high-velocity environments.

- Paid time off, holidays, leave of absence
- Comprehensive health, dental & vision insurance, HSA contributions
- Paid parental leave, life insurance, short/long-term disability
- Professional development & tuition reimbursement
