[Hiring] IT Hardware Procurement Manager @Armada

4d ago - Armada is hiring a remote IT Hardware Procurement Manager. πŸ’Έ Salary: unspecified πŸ“Location: India

Role Description

As the IT Hardware Procurement Manager, you will be the strategic architect of our global AI infrastructure supply chain. You will lead the end-to-end sourcing for high-performance compute (HPC) and sovereign AI cloud platforms. This role requires a rare blend of:

  • Deep technical fluency in NVIDIA architecture
  • Aggressive commercial acumen to ensure supply continuity in a volatile global semiconductor market

Core Responsibilities

  • Strategic Sourcing & Vendor Ecosystem: Identify, vet, and manage Tier 1/2 OEMs and regional distributors for high-density servers, network gear, and cabling. Build a resilient multi-vendor strategy to eliminate single points of failure.
  • Commercial Leadership: Drive end-to-end contract lifecycles, including Master Purchase Agreements (MPAs), Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and complex warranty/support negotiations.
  • Technical Risk & Inventory Management: Monitor global semiconductor trends to mitigate long-lead-time risks. Support Solution Engineering by ensuring "just-in-time" inventory of mission-critical hardware (GPUs, NICs, Switches).
  • Cross-Functional Roadmap Alignment: Partner with Systems Engineering and Architecture teams to translate technical specs into scalable, multi-year procurement roadmaps.
  • System Integration Support: Oversee the procurement and delivery of integrated components, including NVIDIA Grace CPUs, NVLink, InfiniBand, and ConnectX-8.
  • Sovereign AI & Compliance: Architect procurement workflows that satisfy stringent security, data residency, and national compliance requirements for Sovereign AI cloud deployments.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical STEM field.
  • 5+ years of experience in high-performance computing (HPC) or hyperscale datacenter procurement environments.
  • Deep understanding of NVIDIA reference architectures/Dell/HP Hardware familiarity.
  • Foundational understanding of the hardware-software stack, including operating systems, device drivers, and firmware versioning.
  • Ability to bridge the gap between technical engineering requirements and executive-level financial/commercial constraints.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Proven experience navigating regional distributor landscapes in APAC and EMEA.
  • Experience with rack-level integration for modular or Edge datacenter deployments.
  • Practical knowledge of how hardware specifications impact specific AI workloads (LLM training vs. low-latency inference).

You're a Great Fit if You're

  • A go-getter with a growth mindset. You're intellectually curious, have strong business acumen, and actively seek opportunities to build relevant skills and knowledge.
  • A detail-oriented problem-solver. You can independently gather information, solve problems efficiently, and deliver results with a "get-it-done" attitude.
  • Thrive in a fast-paced environment. You're energized by an entrepreneurial spirit, capable of working quickly, and excited to contribute to a growing company.
  • A collaborative team player. You focus on business success and are motivated by team accomplishment vs personal agenda.
  • Highly organized and results-driven. Strong prioritization skills and a dedicated work ethic are essential for you.
