Mission

TAR’s mission is to power intelligence for the world. We are building the world’s first off-grid power plant for data centers powered by renewable technologies.

We firmly believe AI should be built in the US for the benefit of all people. For that, power must be fast, clean and scalable. We are singularly focused on delivering GW-scale power faster than anyone has ever done, by rethinking every layer of the stack.

We vertically integrate to solve every bottleneck, from racking systems to power electronics to dispatch algorithms to on-site construction.

Leave your mark on the future of civilization-scale energy infrastructure.

Company

TAR is both a hardware and software company, we are building out massive, critical, physical infrastructure. TAR is working directly with one of the largest compute providers to scale and deploy 5GWs by 2028.

High ownership. High Agency. Own project end-to-end. Great people don’t need to be managed.

Speed. We achieve great things on incredible timelines. We push ourselves to go faster.

First principles. No ego. No hierarchy. Challenge every assumption.

Passion. Solving the energy problem is one of the largest challenges that faces the world now and in the future.

About the role

As Procurement Specialist on our Supply Chain team in Austin, you are an instrumental part of the operational backbone of that machine: you build and modify POs, draft contracts from templates and work initial redlines, resolve invoicing and mismatch disputes with vendors, and help stand up the P2P and contract management systems the department will scale on. This is a hands‑on role for someone with pre-existing supply chain experience, interested in owner‑side procurement experience on a GW‑scale buildout.

Responsibilities

Execute direct procurement activities, building and modifying purchase orders for equipment, materials, and services so orders go out accurately and on schedule.

Draft contracts from approved templates and run initial review and redlining with vendors and internal owners to move agreements to signature quickly.

Run regular reports on open contracts and POs, flagging deadlines and keeping the team on‑target.

Revise, edit, and proofread procurement documents and redlines so contract packages leave the department error‑free.

Qualifications

2+ years of supply chain experience, including buyer and/or procurement functions. Candidates with greater experience are strongly encouraged to apply, with an upgrade to Sr. Procurement Specialist available based on prior work history.

Hands‑on experience building and modifying purchase orders.

Some familiarity with contracting, including document revision and redlining.

Comfort engaging vendors and internal stakeholders on invoicing, billing, mismatch, and other PO‑related disputes.
