Technical Program Manager, Strategic Sourcing

About the role

The Supply Chain Team at Fluidstack is looking for a Bridge Engineer and Sourcing Specialist to bridge the gap between engineering and procurement. This role requires a deep understanding of both disciplines to ensure that design requirements are accurately translated into sourcing-ready specs and Bill of Materials (BOMs).

Responsibilities

• Translate design requirements into sourcing-ready specs and BOMs without losing technical intent in translation.
• Run supplier qualification and selection processes, evaluating vendors on technical fit, lead time, and capacity, not just price.
• Review and approve vendor submittals against design specs and catch deviations before they reach fabrication or the field.
• Partner with engineering from concept through detailed design, shaping specs and drawings so what gets designed is what can actually be sourced and built on schedule.
• Own BOM accuracy and change control across the program, ensuring sourcing negotiates and issues POs against the right part, revision, and quantity every time.
• Drive supplier selection and qualification, running technical evaluations alongside engineering to close on vendors who meet spec, lead time, and capacity thresholds.
• Manage BOM revisions and change control on programs with multiple concurrent engineering changes, ensuring nothing gets lost between rev A and rev C.
• Write and speak clearly enough to turn a technical disagreement between an engineer and a supplier into a decision and a next step.

Requirements

• You've sat at the intersection of engineering and procurement, translating design requirements into sourcing-ready specs and BOMs without losing technical intent in translation.
• You've run supplier qualification and selection processes, evaluating vendors on technical fit, lead time, and capacity, not just price.
• You've reviewed vendor submittals against design specs and caught deviations before they reached fabrication or the field.
• You quarterback across engineering, sourcing, and vendors, and you're the person other teams call when a spec and a PO don't match.
• You manage BOM revisions and change control on programs with multiple concurrent engineering changes, and nothing gets lost between rev A and rev C.
• You write and speak clearly enough to turn a technical disagreement between an engineer and a supplier into a decision and a next step.

Bonus

• Data center or industrial equipment categories (switchgear, transformers, cooling, generators).
• ERP or PLM systems (SAP, Oracle, Arena).
• Formal program or project management background.
• Experience on modular or first-of-a-kind builds.

Pay

Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity) including a salary range of $186K - $240K.
