Role Scope- Develop and execute sourcing strategies for critical power and cooling categories, including high voltage, medium voltage, and modular chiller plants, aligned directly to the forward build pipeline.
- Own end-to-end commercial and contractual negotiations at executive level across large-scale supplier relationships, holding position when counterparties push back.
- Build and maintain integrated supplier qualification, performance management, and capacity expansion programs across critical equipment categories.
- Drive risk framework development that catches supply chain threats before they become schedule problems, and lead value engineering initiatives with suppliers to improve cost and scalability at multi-GW scale.
- Partner with engineering, construction, planning, and finance to keep sourcing strategy current against the build pipeline, and influence senior leadership on long-term commercial strategy and investment decisions.
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 have built category strategies for power or cooling equipment in a hyperscale or large-scale data center environment, and you understand the technical and commercial variables that make these categories hard.
- You have negotiated complex, high-stakes commercial agreements and held the line when suppliers pushed back, because you had done the analysis and knew where the leverage was.
- You build should-cost models and use data to drive decisions: your analysis changes what the team does, not how the slide looks.
- You have built risk frameworks that actually caught something before it hit the schedule, and you operate with full ownership, closing gaps without waiting to be asked.
- You communicate clearly with both technical and executive audiences, bringing a room along on a nuanced commercial strategy without losing precision.
Bonus: Experience sourcing owner-furnished cooling systems or power generation equipment. Track record delivering significant cost avoidance or capital efficiency improvements at multi-GW scale. APICS CSCP certification.
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 $230,000 - $310,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. This range represents our good faith estimate of the compensation for this role at the time of posting. Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
