Materials Manager, Manufacturing Facilities

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 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 global sourcing for manufacturing facilities: the equipment, fit-out, and services that stand up and run our factories.
• Negotiate supplier agreements across capital equipment, MRO, and facility services with lead times tied to the production ramp.
• Qualify and dual-source critical categories so no single supplier can stall the factory.
• Drive total cost, not just price: freight, spares, uptime, and terms.

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 capital equipment or industrial categories at scale and closed the deals yourself.
• You've built supplier redundancy that got tested and held.
• You negotiate from a should-cost model, not a quote comparison.
• You've managed suppliers through a factory launch or major ramp.
• Your contracts anticipate the failure modes: delays, quality, and support.
• Bonus: Manufacturing launches. Equipment categories such as weld, CNC, and material handling. International supply bases. ERP procurement.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
