You will build and mentor a high-performing global team, lead executive-level vendor governance with NVIDIA, tier-1 OEM/ODM partners, and contract manufacturers, and deliver on deployment schedules with cost discipline.

Qualifications

• 15+ years in supply chain, procurement or sourcing within server, datacenter or IT hardware; at least 5 years leading multi-function teams.
• Track record at a tier-1 server OEM/ODM, hyperscaler, or large enterprise hardware organization, operating at senior leadership level.

• Proven international logistics experience across Asia and the US, including import/export and customs compliance.
• Strong commercial negotiation record with large-value, long-lead-time hardware programs.
• Professional working proficiency in English and fluent Mandarin.
• Thrive in a fast-moving NCP dynamic scaling environment: highly hands-on, detail-oriented, adaptable to shifting driver/hardware requirements, and decisive under incomplete information.

Responsibilities

• Build, mentor, and manage multi-disciplinary global supply chain teams across sourcing, procurement, planning, and logistics; establish organizational structure, strategic KPIs, performance cadences, and leadership development.
• Spearhead executive-level relationship management and strategic alliances with key leadership at NVIDIA, tier-1 OEM/ODM partners (e.g., Inspur and key integration partners), contract manufacturers, and critical component vendors; lead high-stakes commercial negotiations and master agreement executions.
• Drive commodity strategy for GPU, CPU, memory and networking — allocation management, dual-sourcing, cost roadmaps and long-lead-time risk mitigation.
• Run demand planning and S&OP against a fast-moving capacity roadmap; translate cluster deployment plans into procurement and delivery schedules.
• Direct international logistics, customs/trade compliance, and end-to-end material tracking across site locations worldwide (Thailand, Japan, US, Taiwan), proactively resolving bottlenecks to safeguard deployment schedules.
• Establish inventory and asset control across sites — spares strategy, RMA and warranty flow, cycle counting, and accurate reporting to Finance.
