Sourcing Manager, Electrical

THE SUPPLY CHAIN TEAM

Examples of key problems the team is working on

- Supply tens of gigawatts of compute, the largest build out of compute in history. Qualify and dual-source across every critical equipment category, with lead-time and capacity thresholds tied directly to the forward build pipeline.

- Make supply chain the reason we build faster than anyone. Our modular build redefines speed in this industry, and it lives or dies on supply chain. Keep procurement permanently off the critical path so schedule compression stays our advantage, not our constraint.

- Build the most accurate supply chain prediction modelling that exists. Use the frontier of AI to forecast lead times, demand, and disruption with a precision the industry has never had, and turn that foresight into a structural edge.

ROLE SCOPE

- Own the electrical category: switchgear, transformers, UPS, generators, and busway, the longest lead times in the build.

- Negotiate capacity reservations with electrical OEMs years ahead, converting reservations to orders as the pipeline firms.

- Dual-source major equipment classes across OEMs whose products are not interchangeable, managing the design implications with engineering.

- Track factory slots and production milestones supplier by supplier, because a slipped transformer is a slipped data hall.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/fluidstack/05c2e69c-42f9-4fcb-9cf0-a467aaf98f1c.

- You've sourced major electrical equipment (switchgear, transformers, UPS, generation) for large construction programs.

- You've reserved factory capacity ahead of firm designs and managed the commercial risk that creates.

- You know the current lead-time reality of the electrical market by product class, not by rumor.

- You've expedited equipment through a factory by knowing whom to call and what to trade.

- Bonus: MV/HV equipment. Utility-scale generation. OFCI programs. Factory witness testing.

Physical Requirements

- Work in non-climate-controlled environments, including active construction areas, data halls, electrical and mechanical rooms, and outdoor spaces. Temperatures can be high or low, and conditions can be humid, loud or dusty.

- Lift, carry, push and pull up to 40 pounds on your own.

- Sit, stand, walk, kneel, bend and crouch for long periods, including full shifts on your feet.

- Wear the required personal protective equipment (PPE), such as hard hats, safety glasses, steel-toed boots, gloves and hearing protection, and follow site safety rules.

- Climb stairs and ladders, and move around equipment, cable trays and uneven surfaces.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
