Senior Supply Chain Manager (AI Sourcing)

About the role

Nscale is scaling fast — and the AI infrastructure that powers our global compute platform needs to arrive on time, every time. We're looking for a Senior Supply Chain Manager to support procurement execution and operational delivery across AI infrastructure hardware categories — GPUs, servers, networking, and IT equipment — as we expand our datacenter footprint worldwide.

You'll be a key link between vendor commitments and on-the-ground delivery. That means helping drive operational reliability across AI infrastructure builds, supporting consistent planning processes across sites, and keeping our procurement engine running with the discipline and pace this environment demands. This role is scoped to the AI infrastructure layer — the compute, networking, and IT equipment stack that makes AI workloads run — not civil infrastructure like power systems, cooling, or physical buildings.

What You'll Do

• Get close to the ground by learning current procurement workflows, mapping supplier relationships across GPU vendors, server OEMs, and IT equipment partners, and identifying where delivery risk is hiding.
• Support the procurement execution cycle for AI infrastructure hardware, managing vendor relationships and purchase order workflows, coordinating inbound logistics and delivery scheduling, and acting as a point of escalation when supplier commitments slip.
• Work with teams across sites to help standardize planning and procurement processes, supporting consistency in how we forecast demand, issue POs, and manage delivery milestones regardless of geography.
• Take on a growing role in Nscale's expanding IT equipment category, helping build vendor relationships and operational playbooks that scale with the business.
• Contribute to designing reporting cadences and dashboards that give leadership visibility into AI infrastructure hardware availability, delivery status, and procurement risk.

Who You Are

• 8-10 years of experience in supply chain management, procurement operations, or hardware sourcing
• Background in datacenter, cloud infrastructure, or hyperscale environments
• Experience supporting GPU-based hardware procurement or large-scale server and networking deployments
• Track record managing OEM and hardware vendor relationships
• Solid understanding of inbound logistics coordination
• Experience contributing to procurement process standardization across multiple sites or geographies
• Comfortable working across IT equipment categories
• Strong Excel skills
• Familiarity with supply chain or procurement systems
• Exposure to BI tools for operational reporting

What we can offer you

• A highly competitive US compensation package (base + bonus + equity)
• Performance reviews every 12 months
• A dynamic progression plan tailored to your ambitions
• Human-First Flexibility: We treat you as humans first
• Equal Opportunities Statement
