Global Sourcing & Materials Manager

About Fluidstack We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it. We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them – with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI. How We Operate Extreme ownership. Full autonomy. Own things end-to-end often taking on scope outside your core role without being asked to get things done. Velocity. We drive everything forward as fast as possible. First principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins. Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward. The Supply Chain Team Examples of key problems the team is working on Supply 10 GW 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 live order tracker for all open purchase orders across global suppliers, covering manufacturing progress, inspection milestones, and contractual delivery dates across multiple concurrent project sites. Expedite critical and at‑risk orders before they hit the schedule: renegotiate delivery commitments, coordinate freight and logistics partners, and elevate to senior leadership when a vendor cannot recover on their own. Run the weekly and monthly supply‑chain reporting rhythm: on‑time delivery rates, lead‑time accuracy, vendor performance scores, root‑cause analysis on late orders, and recovery plans presented to project managers, engineering, and leadership. Act as the supply‑chain liaison across multiple project sites, aligning procurement priorities so vendor capacity and logistics conflicts are resolved before they surface as site delays. Travel to vendor facilities and project sites to validate manufacturing progress, close issues that cannot be resolved remotely, and build the supplier relationships that drive accountability on the next order. What We're Looking For You’ve personally expedited orders in capital equipment or industrial environments where slipping delivery dates had direct consequences for a project schedule, and you’ve negotiated revised commitments directly with vendors under pressure. You maintain order‑tracking systems well enough that any stakeholder can understand the status, risk, and recovery plan for every open PO without asking you to explain it. You can read engineering drawings, specifications, and purchase order documentation well enough to catch scope discrepancies before they become vendor disputes. You’ve coordinated across multiple project sites or workstreams simultaneously, keeping each location’s material requirements on track without letting the sites compete for the same vendor capacity. You write and communicate clearly enough to deliver a root‑cause analysis and recovery plan to a project manager or leadership team in one page. Bonus: Multi‑site EPC or construction environments. Commodity experience in electrical equipment, mechanical rotating equipment, or structural materials. International shipping, Incoterms, and customs compliance. Supply‑chain analytics and project management software. Salary & Benefits Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity). Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms. Health, dental, and vision insurance. Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms. The base salary range for this position is $180,000 – $280,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. This range represents our good faith estimate of the compensation for this role at the time of posting. Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options. We are committed to pay equity and transparency. Fluidstack is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer.
