Responsibilities
- the end-to-end tracking of hardware purchase orders across datacenter MEP and infrastructure compute, storage, and networking, from PO issuance through delivery confirmation and inventory receipt
- Serve as the primary point of contact with hardware vendors and logistics partners, managing communication cadences around lead times, shipment status, and exception handling
- Build and maintain dashboards and tracking tools that give infrastructure and finance teams real-time visibility into what's on order, what's in transit, and what's at risk
- Automate recurring data-gathering workflows: vendor capacity pulls, lead time updates, shipment ETA aggregation to reduce manual overhead and increase signal fidelity
- Coordinate inbound logistics with freight forwarders, customs brokers, and data center receiving teams to ensure timely delivery and accurate documentation; integrating with our WMS and TMS systems
- Identify procurement risks proactively (supply constraints, allocation shortfalls, shipping delays) and escalate with context and options, not just flags
- Support onboarding of new vendors: collecting documentation, validating capabilities, and integrating them into tracking workflows
- Collaborate with infrastructure and finance teams on demand forecasting, PO planning, and budget reconciliation
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Industrial Engineering, Operations, or a related technical field
- 0-3 years of professional experience in procurement, supply chain coordination, logistics, or operations (internship experience counts)
- Hands-on proficiency with spreadsheet tools (Excel or Google Sheets) for data tracking, pivot analysis, and workflow management as well as AI tools to build and automate your processes
- Clear, organized written communication — you can write a vendor escalation email and a status summary that both land well
- Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where processes are being built, not just followed
Nice to Have
- Experience working with hardware procurement at a technology company, especially a familiarity with datacenter mechanical, electrical, and plumbing and/or infrastructure like GPU servers, network switches, etc.
- Exposure to ERP or procurement platforms (SAP, Coupa, NetSuite, or similar) and understanding of PO lifecycle management
- Experience building automation or tooling to reduce manual data entry: Zapier workflows, Airtable automations, or equivalent
- Familiarity with international freight logistics: Incoterms, customs documentation, freight forwarder coordination, or bonded warehouse handling
- Working knowledge of supply chain risk concepts: lead time variability, safety stock, allocation windows, and supplier capacity constraints
- Prior experience at a hyperscaler, neocloud, semiconductor company, or hardware-forward tech company (Apple, NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, CoreWeave, Lambda, Google, AWS, or similar)
- APICS CSCP or CPSM coursework or certification
