Job descriptionThe Role
IREN is looking for a Technical Sourcing Manager, Server & Storage Platforms to take full ownership of our most critical OEM and ODM relationships. This is not a support role - you'll be the commercial and operational owner of multimillion-dollar partnerships, driving the negotiations, pricing strategy, and supply commitments that determine how fast IREN can build.
If you love the adrenaline of a supply-constrained market, thrive on high-stakes negotiation, and want to see your work show up as racks going live in a live data center within weeks of your decisions - this is the seat for you. You'll operate with real autonomy, direct executive visibility, and the mandate to shape how IREN sources Server & Storage Platforms at hyperscale.
Job requirements- Own the end-to-end sourcing relationship with rack integration ODM partners: commercial negotiations, pricing, quoting, contracting, and account governance.
- Manage ODM partners' rack integration build process, ensuring quality, schedule, and specification are met at every step.
- Own sourcing and vendor management for installation services, including Professional Services for Installation, Deployment & Verification (IDV) of AI infrastructure racks.
- Negotiate pricing, master purchase agreements, statements of work, service agreements, and SLAs that keep ODM and installation services vendors accountable to IREN's speed and quality bar.
- Partner closely with Engineering, Operations, Deployment, and Program Management to align ODM rack integration and installation vendor capacity with delivery and go-live timelines - no excuses, no slippage.
- Own ODM and vendor performance end-to-end: run competitive bids, drive cost and reliability improvements, and raise the bar across the rack integration and installation services portfolio.
- Track ODM partners' roadmaps and manufacturing/integration capacity to keep sourcing strategy ahead of upcoming platform transitions.
- Build and run the spares/repair strategy, including inventory planning and RMA turnaround, to keep fleets running at full capacity.
- Build and maintain demand forecasts with capacity planning and finance to inform purchase order timing and volume commitments.
- Keep contract documentation, vendor scorecards, and reporting sharp and ready for leadership at any moment.
Job responsibilities - 12+ years of experience in technical sourcing, procurement, or vendor/services management, ideally within data center deployment or field services.
- Proven experience managing rack integration ODM or contract manufacturer relationships, and/or managing installation services such as deployment, commissioning, or verification.
- Strong contract negotiation skills and a track record managing multiple concurrent, high-stakes ODM and services vendor relationships.
- Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills - you move fluidly between engineering, operations, and finance.
- Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
Preferred
- Experience managing rack integration ODMs or Professional Services/installation vendors in support of large-scale AI/GPU compute deployments.
- Familiarity with data center commissioning timelines and how rack delivery integrates with installation, deployment, and verification schedules.
