[Hiring] Senior Director, Strategic Procurement & Commercial Development @CoreGrid Power, Inc.

Role Description

Power is becoming one of the defining constraints behind AI, data centers, electrification, and critical infrastructure. This risk manifests in practical execution constraints: the SLD, OEM assumptions, delivery dates, and supply chain paths for critical electrical equipment. A single missed factory slot, bad lead-time assumption, over-constrained spec, or incomplete procurement package can derail an entire project. CoreGrid Power gives infrastructure teams control at this moment.

We help customers decompose electrical packages, identify long-lead equipment risk, preserve OEM optionality, and make better execution decisions before delay is unavoidable. We work inside live execution where procurement, supplier reality, and the project schedule meet. Our entry point today is long-lead electrical equipment where pain is visible, but the opportunity is broader: CGP helps customers understand blockers, options, and critical next steps to keep projects moving.

We are hiring a senior procurement-led commercial operator to walk into live infrastructure situations, find the constraint, create the sourcing path, and close. This is a closing role, but not a traditional software sales, account management, or procurement administration role. It requires deep expertise in how critical electrical equipment is bought, specified, sourced, quoted, approved, and delivered, using that understanding to create commercial urgency.

The right person enters through the long-lead equipment package, expands the conversation into the broader execution problem, and quickly identifies where CGP creates value by reviewing technical and commercial project documents. You should be able to use your existing network, make high-value calls early, identify live opportunities, and move customers from project pain to signed engagement with urgency. This is an employee leadership role with meaningful performance upside.

What You Will Own

• Own procurement-led commercial growth by finding projects where electrical equipment constraints create a high-value opening for CGP.
• Identify and originate opportunities across data centers, AI infrastructure, utilities, industrial power, and critical infrastructure where long-lead electrical equipment poses execution risk.
• Build relationships with developers, EPCs, contractors, owners, OEMs, and project-level decision-makers.
• Turn technical documents (SLDs, RFQs, schedules) into actionable sourcing and deal strategies.
• Identify qualified supply options for transformers, switchgear, busway, breakers, substations, and related systems.
• Help customers understand procurement exposure and drive conversations from project pain to signed commercial engagement.
• Convert project-level beachheads into broader strategic customer relationships.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in strategic procurement, electrical equipment sourcing, infrastructure sales, EPC project delivery, or large-scale capital projects.
• Proven ability to originate, structure, and close complex commercial opportunities.
• Existing network across developers, EPCs, electrical contractors, utilities, data center operators, OEMs, manufacturers, or large industrial customers.
• Strong understanding of electrical infrastructure, including transformers, switchgear, power distribution, and long-lead equipment constraints.
• Ability to read or navigate single-line diagrams, equipment scopes, project schedules, RFQs, quotes, and procurement packages.
• Commercial judgment and comfort negotiating large, ambiguous, high-value opportunities.
• Ability to communicate credibly with executives, procurement leaders, and engineers.
• High urgency, persistence, independence, and bias toward action.
• Clear track record of moving opportunities to signed commitments.

Preferred Backgrounds

• EPC or electrical contractor procurement/commercial leadership.
• OEM, manufacturer rep, or critical electrical equipment sales.
• Owner-side data center or mission-critical infrastructure procurement.
• Major-project sourcing, channel, or power equipment distribution.

What Success Looks Like

• In the first 30 days, build a prioritized account map, make high-value customer/OEM/EPC/supplier calls, and identify live commercial opportunities.
• In the first 90 days, open qualified buyer conversations, advance multiple opportunities toward proposal, and create urgency around real electrical procurement constraints.
• In the first 6 months, close meaningful customer opportunities, create repeatable entry points into target accounts, and prove you can create commercial motion with high accountability.

Who This Role Is For

This role is for an independent operator who likes the hunt, understands procurement, and knows how to turn infrastructure chaos into commercial opportunity. You may be the person customers, project teams, or suppliers call when a project is stuck, the OEM timeline is broken, or the procurement team needs options fast.

You know how to find leverage in a supply chain, get to the decision-maker, and separate real commercial opportunities from casual conversations. You are a self-directed closer: you find the project, identify the equipment constraint, map the buyer, test the timeline, create the commercial angle, and move the customer to a decision.

Who This Role Is Not For

• Someone who needs a fully defined territory, a rigid sales script, or daily management.
• Someone who manages relationships but avoids the hard work of driving to a deal.
• Someone who waits for procurement problems to be neatly packaged before engaging.
• Someone who confuses activity with progress.

Why Join CoreGrid Power?

Power infrastructure is becoming one of the largest bottlenecks to AI, data centers, and industrial growth. CGP is building execution systems for this bottleneck. Our platform helps infrastructure teams navigate supply constraints and maintain momentum across the electrical critical path of major projects.

This role is for someone who wants to use procurement as a strategic weapon, work directly on high-value infrastructure projects, and earn a meaningful leadership position inside a fast-growing company.
