Job summary

IREN, a leading AI Cloud Service Provider, seeks a Senior Manager to own HPC market intelligence, risk and cost management for its global supply chain. The role combines market analysis, supplier risk, and cross-functional collaboration to shape sourcing decisions.

You will publish briefs, track tariffs, and develop risk and cost frameworks in a fast-paced, hybrid SF environment with domestic and international travel as needed.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Engineering, Economics, Finance, Business, or a related field; MBA or advanced degree in a quantitative field preferred.
• 8+ years of progressive experience in supply chain, strategic sourcing, procurement analytics or supply risk management, with at least 3 years focused on market intelligence, cost management or risk.
• Hands-on experience sourcing or analyzing HPC and data center hardware: GPUs and accelerators, servers, storage, networking and optics, including CM/ODM/JDM supply chains.
• Strong background in interpreting and acting on market intelligence across hyperscaler and neocloud technology supply chains, including pricing, lead time, capacity and allocation signals and silicon and platform roadmaps.
• Experience building and running a supplier risk program: risk register, scoring model, financial-health and concentration monitoring, and mitigation planning.
• Experience designing a cost savings methodology or cost management framework from the ground up, including total-cost-of-ownership and should-cost models, savings definitions and cost-variance reporting, and rolling it out to a sourcing team you did not manage.
• Experience in cost management and negotiation support, using should-cost and benchmark data to challenge supplier pricing and shape negotiation plans.
• Working knowledge of tariffs, export controls and sanctions as they apply to compute and networking hardware.
• Clear executive writing and presentation skills, with a track record of influencing sourcing, finance, legal and operations stakeholders without direct authority.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain IREN's HPC hardware market intelligence base, covering industry trends, pricing, lead times, capacity, allocation, etc.
• Publish a monthly market brief and quarterly category outlooks that Technical Sourcing, Hardware Procurement, Planning and Finance use to time buys, set budgets and plan builds.
• Track tariffs, export controls and trade policy affecting compute and networking hardware and quantify the cost and schedule impact.
• Develop and maintain the supply chain risk framework for HPC hardware: identify, score and track risks across suppliers, categories, geographies and programs.
• Run supplier financial-health and concentration monitoring, including single- and sole-source exposure and sub-tier dependencies.
• Support risk assessments for new strategic suppliers and major awards, and develop mitigation plans with the category owner.
• Build and test the supply disruption response playbook: early-warning triggers, escalation path, decision rights and communication.
• Develop, in partnership with Technical Sourcing, and maintain the cost management framework for HPC hardware: total-cost-of-ownership and should-cost models by category, the price benchmarks they draw on, and the rules for what counts as a saving, avoidance or cost increase.
• Partner with Technical Sourcing to program manage the development of a cost savings methodology and maintain the data inputs and framework for cost.
• Produce the risk, market and cost sections of the monthly supply chain scorecard and the quarterly review for the executive team and board.
• Partner with Data Engineering and Systems SMEs to build tools, dashboards, and AI-based solutions to report across risk, market intelligence, and cost.
