[Hiring] Commodity Sourcing Manager @Fluidstack

Role Description

We are focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. The Supply Chain Team is working on:

• Supply gigawatt-scale compute, the largest build out of compute in history.
• Qualifying and dual-sourcing across every critical equipment category, with lead-time and capacity thresholds tied directly to the forward build pipeline.
• Making supply chain the reason we build faster than anyone.
• Building the most accurate supply chain prediction modeling that exists.

Role Scope:

• Own multi-year commodity strategies for direct material categories (metals, plastics, electronic components, sub-assemblies, MRO), building should-cost models that hold up against supplier pushback.
• Lead RFI, RFQ, and RFP processes and e-auction bidding events across global supply markets, qualifying suppliers on capacity, financial health, and risk through structured assessments and site audits.
• Negotiate and execute Master Supply Agreements, Long-Term Agreements, and pricing amendments, coordinating with Legal and Finance on annual price reviews and cost-down commitments.
• Run Quarterly Business Reviews and supplier scorecards tracking quality (PPM), delivery (OTD), cost, and responsiveness, and build dual-source and geographic diversification plans to close out single-source risk.
• Deliver annual cost reduction targets through value engineering, demand aggregation, and supplier consolidation, partnering with Engineering on design-for-cost decisions ahead of new product introductions.

Qualifications

• Built and owned multi-year commodity strategies for direct material categories, backed by should-cost models that survive supplier pushback.
• Negotiated complex, multi-year supply agreements and pricing amendments across global markets, including Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America.
• Ran RFI, RFQ, and RFP processes and e-auction bidding events end to end, from supplier qualification through contract signature.
• Tracked supplier performance with scorecards spanning quality (PPM), delivery (OTD), and cost, using commodity indices (LME, CBOT) and hedging mechanisms to get ahead of pricing swings.
• Delivered measurable annual cost reduction through value engineering, demand aggregation, or supplier consolidation, with quantifiable results.
• Worked inside ERP and procurement platforms (SAP, Oracle, Ariba, Coupa, Jaggaer, or equivalent) to run sourcing events and spend analytics independently.

Requirements

• Bonus: CPSM, CSCP, or CPP certification.
• Familiarity with quality systems (PPAP, APQP, IATF 16949, ISO 9001) for supplier qualification.
• Direct materials sourcing in a hardware or hyperscale infrastructure environment.

• We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
