Role Scope- Own multi-year commodity strategies for mechanical and cooling equipment categories (chillers, coolant distribution units, air handlers, pumps, piping, and heat rejection), building should-cost models that hold up against supplier pushback.
- Secure manufacturing capacity and lead times for long-lead mechanical equipment, locking slot reservations and delivery schedules against the forward build pipeline.
- Negotiate and execute Master Supply Agreements, Long-Term Agreements, and pricing amendments, coordinating with Legal and Finance on price reviews, escalation clauses, and cost-down commitments.
- Run Quarterly Business Reviews and supplier scorecards tracking quality, on-time delivery, cost, and responsiveness, and build dual-source and geographic diversification plans to close out single-source risk.
- Partner with Mechanical Engineering on specifications, standardization, and design-for-cost decisions so every design change lands with a qualified supply base behind it.
What We're Looking ForThe below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.- You've built and owned commodity strategies for mechanical or HVAC equipment such as chillers, air handlers, pumps, or liquid cooling systems, backed by should-cost models that survive supplier pushback.
- You've negotiated complex, multi-year supply agreements and capacity reservations with mechanical OEMs across global markets.
- You use steel, copper, and refrigerant market data to structure escalation terms and get ahead of pricing swings instead of reacting to them.
- You've run RFI, RFQ, and RFP processes end to end, from supplier qualification through contract signature.
- You track supplier performance with scorecards spanning quality, on-time delivery, and cost, and you act on the data before a slip reaches the schedule.
- You've worked inside ERP and procurement platforms (SAP, Oracle, Ariba, Coupa, or equivalent) enough to run sourcing events and spend analytics without hand-holding.
- Bonus: Mechanical engineering background. Liquid cooling exposure. Sourcing experience in data center or hyperscale infrastructure environments.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
