Responsibilities
Lead the team responsible for how we build, manage, and scale our most critical supplier relationships across machine infrastructure.
Own CoreWeave's global supplier management strategy across IT infrastructure suppliers, establishing and maintaining executive-level relationships with strategic suppliers.
Lead the development and governance of long-term agreements (LTAs), preferred supplier frameworks, and supply assurance mechanisms for constrained components.
Move fluidly between both functions: setting strategy, building commercial frameworks, and ensuring team discipline and tools for ground-level execution.
Requirements
10+ years of progressive supply chain experience in enterprise hardware, data center infrastructure, or cloud/hyperscale environments.
Deep technical fluency across IT infrastructure hardware categories: GPU/CPU servers, NVMe SSDs and NAND flash technology, DRAM, high-speed networking (Ethernet and InfiniBand), optical transceivers (QSFP, OSFP), and switch platforms.
Proven track record of independently negotiating and executing large-scale, multi-year supply agreements with ODMs, OEMs, and component manufacturers at the $100M+ level.
Strong command of commercial contract structures including LTAs, volume commitments, escrow mechanics, forfeiture triggers, price protection, and tariff passthrough provisions.
Expertise in supply-demand planning, CTB tracking, and materials management for complex multi-tier hardware BOMs.
Experience operating at executive level — presenting to and influencing C-suite stakeholders on supply strategy, risk, and program trade-offs.
Strong analytical foundation: ability to build and interpret financial models, spend analyses, and supply/demand plans in support of strategic decisions.
Proven ability to operate with urgency and rigor in a high-growth, fast-changing environment.
Qualifications
Preferred experience in hyperscaler, cloud, or AI infrastructure environments.
Familiarity with NAND flash market dynamics, including QLC/TLC architecture trade-offs, DWPD specifications, and enterprise SSD supplier landscape.
Experience managing supplier relationships in global markets including APAC (Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, China) and navigating associated regulatory and logistics considerations.
Experience in contract negotiation for constrained/allocation-managed components — GPU silicon, HBM, advanced packaging.
Working knowledge of data center networking topologies (spine-leaf, rail-optimized GPU fabric) and associated hardware procurement (NICs, switches, optics).
Background in procurement tooling and workflows including NetSuite, Ironclad, or equivalent ERP/CLM platforms.
