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 - 8+ years of experience in technical sourcing, procurement, or supply chain management, with direct experience sourcing compute or storage hardware from a major server OEM and/or ODM.
- Proven track record sourcing server/compute or storage hardware in a data center, hyperscale, cloud, or AI/HPC environment.
- Deep understanding of server architecture, GPU-based compute platforms, and component-level supply chains (CPUs, GPUs, memory, storage, networking).
- Demonstrated success negotiating complex, high-value commercial agreements and managing multimillion-dollar OEM and ODM relationships.
- Battle-tested experience navigating supply-constrained/allocation-based markets (e.g., GPU shortages) and building mitigation strategies that actually work.
- Sharp analytical instincts - comfortable building cost models, TCO analyses, and forecasts under pressure.
- Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills; equally at home with engineering, operations, finance, and legal.
- Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
Job responsibilities - Own OEM and ODM compute sourcing relationships end-to-end: commercial negotiations, pricing, quoting, contracting, and account governance.
- Drive sourcing and procurement of compute & storage platforms - servers, GPU/AI systems, storage, and associated components - powering IREN's AI compute rack build programs.
- Stay ahead of a brutally supply-constrained market: track and manage allocation of GPUs, CPUs, memory, NICs, and power supplies, and get out in front of shortages before they become blockers.
- Partner directly with Engineering, Data Center Operations, and Program Management to keep sourcing timelines locked in step with construction, provisioning, and go-live milestones.
- Lead high-stakes RFQ/RFP processes, cost modeling, and total-cost-of-ownership analysis for major compute & storage hardware programs.
- Negotiate master purchase agreements, pricing schedules, SLAs, warranty terms, and support/maintenance contracts that protect IREN's speed and margins.
- Track OEM and ODM product roadmaps closely and shape sourcing strategy around the next wave of CPU/GPU generations, chassis, and cooling designs before the market catches up.
- Own supplier performance - delivery, quality, escalations, and quarterly business reviews - and hold OEM and ODM partners to a standard worthy of IREN's growth.
- Build and maintain demand forecasts with capacity planning and finance to drive purchase order timing and volume commitments.
- Hunt for cost-savings and risk-mitigation opportunities: dual-sourcing, strategic buys, contract restructuring - anything that gives IREN an edge.
- Keep sourcing records, contract documentation, and reporting sharp and audit-ready for internal stakeholders and leadership.
Preferred- Existing relationships within a major OEM's and/or ODM's enterprise/infrastructure account team.
- Experience sourcing for AI training/inference infrastructure at scale (thousands of GPUs).
- Deep familiarity with data center commissioning timelines and how hardware delivery integrates with provisioning and rack integration schedules.
