CapEx Commodity Manager

How We Operate

• Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.
• Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
• Reason from 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.
• Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Supply gigawatt-scale 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 sourcing strategy for capital equipment across the build program, from long-lead power and cooling equipment to modular structures, with total cost of ownership models that hold up against supplier pushback.
• Run competitive sourcing events for capital packages, evaluating suppliers on price, capacity, lead time, warranty, and financial health, and carry each award through to contract signature.
• Negotiate and execute capital equipment agreements, framework agreements, and pricing amendments, coordinating with Legal and Finance on payment milestones, warranties, liquidated damages, and escalation terms.
• Partner with Finance on CapEx planning, tracking committed spend against budget and forecasting cash flow from award to delivery.
• Deliver cost reduction through standardization, demand aggregation across sites, and volume agreements, and build dual-source plans that close out single-source risk on critical capital equipment.

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've sourced and negotiated high-value capital equipment or construction packages, backed by total cost of ownership models that survive supplier pushback.
• You've structured capital contracts with milestone payments, warranties, liquidated damages, and escalation terms, and managed them through delivery.
• You've partnered with Finance on CapEx budgets and cash flow forecasts, and you can show the savings you delivered against them.
• You've run RFI, RFQ, and RFP processes end to end, from supplier qualification through contract signature.
• You track supplier performance with scorecards spanning quality, on-time delivery, and cost, and you act on the data before a slip reaches the schedule.
• You've worked inside ERP and procurement platforms (SAP, Oracle, Ariba, Coupa, or equivalent) enough to run sourcing events and spend analytics without hand-holding.
• Bonus: CPSM or CPP certification. Capital procurement experience in data center, energy, or industrial construction environments.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
