Descrizione del lavoro

Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, is a leader in AI cloud infrastructure serving tens of thousands of customers. Our customers range from AI researchers to enterprises and hyperscalers. Lambda's mission is to make compute as ubiquitous as electricity and give everyone the power of superintelligence. One person, one GPU.

This position requires presence in our San Francisco or San Jose office location 4 days per week; Lambda's designated work from home day is currently Tuesday.

About the Role

We are seeking experienced Demand Supply Planning Managers to help build a brand-new planning function for Lambda's data center hardware, as part of Lambda's Supply Chain team, which makes sure the right systems, racks, and networking equipment are in the right place at the right time to power our rapidly growing AI cloud footprint.

You will own the planning process that connects what our customers and data center deployments need with what our ODM/OEM partners and component suppliers can deliver: building and maintaining demand forecasts, translating them into supply and build plans, balancing capacity and inventory against deployment schedules, and surfacing constraints early enough for the business to act on them.

The ideal candidate has planned complex, long-lead-time hardware in a high-growth environment. You are comfortable pressure-testing a forecast, building a supply plan from the bill of materials up, running a rigorous S OP cycle, and telling leadership clearly where the risks are and what trade-offs are on the table, while moving fluidly between strategic planning and the details that make or break a deployment.

Because this is a net-new team, you will have a real hand in defining how planning works at Lambda: the processes, the cadence, the metrics, and the tools.

You will work closely with Sourcing (ODM/OEM), Commodity Management, Operations and Logistics, Data Center Engineering, Finance, and Go-to-Market to bring capacity online on schedule.

What You'll Do

Demand Planning — Forecasting

Own the demand forecast for your assigned portfolio, translating data center deployment plans, customer commitments, and capacity roadmaps into a unit-level, time-phased view of what we need and when.

Build and maintain forecast models, assumptions, and scenarios (base, upside, downside), and track forecast accuracy and bias over time.

Partner with Go-to-Market, Project Management, Finance, and Data Center Engineering to keep the demand signal current as customer commitments, cluster designs, and site readiness change.

Establish clear forecast input ownership, cadence, and change-control so that upstream changes are visible and acted on quickly.

Supply Planning — Capacity Alignment

• Convert demand into supply and build plans for finished systems, racks, and networking equipment, including ODM/OEM build slots, integration capacity, and delivery schedules.
• Align partner manufacturing capacity and lead times with
