Key job responsibilities
- Keep the region healthy. Monitor hardware availability across the Americas, identify root causes when things go wrong, and build action plans that fix problems at their source.
- Balance the network. Analyze inventory positions and demand trends across sites. When one location has too much and another too little, you drive the rebalancing.
- Own delivery performance. You'll track whether parts are arriving on time, dig into exceptions, and work with logistics partners to improve delivery windows and carrier compliance.
- Manage inventory accuracy. You'll ensure what's in the system matches what's on the shelf - monitoring storage locations, cycle counts, and material flows between warehouses and data centers.
- Bring new sites online. When we open a new data center, you'll own the spares readiness plan - making sure the right parts are in place before the first server goes live.
- Drive improvement projects. You'll lead initiatives that make our planning processes smarter, faster, and more automated. If you see something broken, you own fixing it.
- Communicate to leadership. Translate complex supply chain data into clear recommendations for senior leaders - influencing where we invest and how we prioritize.
A day in the life
You start by checking regional health - are parts flowing on time? Any stockouts building? From there, you might jump on a call with logistics to work a delivery issue, coordinate an inventory move between sites, or dig into a trend where the same component keeps running short. Some days you're managing an escalation; others you're leading a process improvement project. You'll also partner with engineering on automation ideas or mentor teammates on complex inventory problems. No two days look the same, but you're always making the system smarter.
