OFCI Sourcing Lead

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. We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply! 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 Supplying 10GW of compute is the largest buildout of compute in history: we qualify and dual‑source 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: our modular build redefines speed in this industry and it lives or dies on supply chain, keeping procurement permanently off the critical path. Building the most accurate supply chain prediction modelling that exists: we use frontier 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 Develop and execute sourcing strategies for critical power and cooling categories, including high voltage, medium voltage, and modular chiller plants, aligned directly to the forward build pipeline. Own end-to-end commercial and contractual negotiations at executive level across large-scale supplier relationships, holding position when counterparties push back. Build and maintain integrated supplier qualification, performance management, and capacity expansion programs across critical equipment categories. Drive risk framework development that catches supply chain threats before they become schedule problems, and lead value engineering initiatives with suppliers to improve cost and scalability at multi‑GW scale. Partner with engineering, construction, planning, and finance to keep sourcing strategy current against the build pipeline, and influence senior leadership on long‑term commercial strategy and investment decisions. 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. You have built category strategies for power or cooling equipment in a hyperscale or large‑scale data center environment, and you understand the technical and commercial variables that make these categories hard. You have negotiated complex, high‑stakes commercial agreements and held the line when suppliers pushed back, because you had done the analysis and knew where the leverage was. You build should‑cost models and use data to drive decisions: your analysis changes what the team does, not how the slide looks. You have built risk frameworks that actually caught something before it hit the schedule, and you operate with full ownership, closing gaps without waiting to be asked. You communicate clearly with both technical and executive audiences, bringing a room along on a nuanced commercial strategy without losing precision. Bonus: Experience sourcing owner‑furnished cooling systems or power generation equipment. Track record delivering significant cost avoidance or capital efficiency improvements at multi‑GW scale. APICS CSCP certification. 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 $230,000 - $310,000 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.
