Job Summary
Global Sourcing & Materials Manager responsible for owning the live order tracker for open POs across global suppliers, expediting critical/at-risk orders, and leading weekly/monthly supply chain reporting. Role includes acting as supply chain liaison across multiple project sites, aligning procurement priorities, and traveling to vendor facilities and project sites to validate progress and strengthen supplier relationships. Requires experience reading engineering drawings, coordinating multi-site activities, and delivering clear root cause analyses and recovery plans to project leadership. Offers include salary, equity, benefits, and a focus on capital equipment procurement within a data-center and AI compute infrastructure context.
Required Qualifications
- You've personally expedited orders in capital equipment or industrial environments where slipping delivery dates had direct consequences for a project schedule, and you've negotiated revised commitments directly with vendors under pressure.
- You maintain order-tracking systems well enough that any stakeholder can understand the status, risk, and recovery plan for every open PO without asking you to explain it.
- You can read engineering drawings, specifications, and purchase order documentation well enough to catch scope discrepancies before they become vendor disputes.
- You've coordinated across multiple project sites or workstreams simultaneously, keeping each location's material requirements on track without letting the sites compete for the same vendor capacity.
- You write and communicate clearly enough to deliver a root cause analysis and recovery plan to a project manager or leadership team in one page.
