Trio Supply Chain Solutions is hiring an ITAD Server Trader focused on acquiring decommissioned servers in bulk. This is a high-energy, deal-driven role for someone who knows how to source server hardware through enterprise refresh pulls, ITAD partnerships, leasing returns, and lifecycle channels — and can negotiate aggressively to secure recurring inbound volume at the lowest possible cost.

This is not a traditional procurement role. We are looking for a trader-style professional who thrives on building pipelines, closing deals, and driving measurable acquisition results.

Responsibilities

• Identify and secure sources of decommissioned servers through end users, ITAD partners, leasing providers, VARs, OEM lifecycle channels, and data center refresh programs.
• Build and manage a pipeline of recurring inbound server hardware (pallet loads to truckloads).
• Negotiate acquisition pricing, terms, and volume agreements to maximize gross margin opportunity and minimize cost per system.
• Develop long-term relationships with decision-makers responsible for asset disposition and refresh cycles (ITAM, infrastructure, procurement, and ITAD program managers).
• Evaluate incoming server inventory quickly and accurately to determine resale value, teardown value, and refurbishment potential.
• Work with internal operations and logistics to coordinate pickups, receiving, and turnaround timelines.
• Maintain structured tracking of deals, cost per unit, volume, and pipeline forecast.
• Stay current on market pricing, demand trends, and server generation value shifts to support fast decisions and strong negotiation leverage.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience sourcing, trading, or acquiring used enterprise server hardware through ITAD, brokerage, lifecycle, leasing, or end-user refresh pulls.
• Proven ability to negotiate and close deals involving bulk hardware acquisition (pallets to truckloads).
• Strong understanding of enterprise servers, common OEMs, and hardware generations (Dell, HPE, Lenovo, Cisco, etc.).
• Ability to assess hardware value rapidly and make buy decisions based on teardown/refurb/resale economics.
• Strong network or ability to build a network with ITAD firms, lifecycle service providers, and enterprise IT disposition teams.
• Comfortable operating in a performance-driven environment with clear acquisition KPIs and targets.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.

Preferred Experience

• Existing book of contacts in ITAD, leasing, lifecycle services, or enterprise IT disposition.
• Experience in hardware brokerage, resale, or teardown economics.
• Experience structuring recurring pull programs or pipeline deals with enterprise clients.

Compensation

Competitive base salary plus performance bonus tied directly to acquisition volume, cost-per-unit, and gross profit contribution.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain Management, or a related field
• Prior experience in sourcing, procurement, or related fields with a focus on IT assets preferred
• Strong understanding of electronics, specifically server hardware, and IT asset disposition (ITAD) processes
• Excellent negotiation and relationship-building skills
• Effective communication skills, both written and verbal
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail for record-keeping and compliance
• Proactive mindset with the ability to work independently and collaborate with cross-functional teams

Benefits

• Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
• Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
• Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&DD)
• Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
• Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity)
• Short Term & Long Term Disability
