STACK offers the scale and geographic reach that rapidly growing hyperscale and enterprise companies need. The world runs on data. Data runs on STACK.

THE POSITION:

We are seeking a highly experienced and strategic Sr. Director of Supply Chain – Utilities Category to own and manage the end-to-end strategy, sourcing, supplier relationships, contracting support, delivery visibility, and risk management for utility infrastructure and critical power equipment required to support STACK’s hyperscale data center growth. STACK Infrastructure is seeking a Senior Director of Utilities to act as our primary commercial market strategist for massive-scale power equipment.

Crucially, this leader must embody STACK’s dynamic, highly collaborative culture. You will be expected to continuously challenge the status quo to drive innovation and speed‑to‑market, doing so with the "Consideration"—integrity, safety, and respect that defines our core values.

Partner directly and cohesively with internal teams (Engineering, Pre‑Construction, Operations) and external stakeholders (General Contractors, EPCs, Utilities) to ensure seamless delivery and integration of complex equipment.
• Commercial‑Technical Bridging: Act as the technical anchor during commercial negotiations. While Legal and outside counsel will finalize terms and conditions, you will dictate the market strategy and technical requirements that inform those contracts.
• Team Maturation & Mentorship: Cultivate a high‑performing environment. Guide and mentor staff, helping them navigate complex technical and commercial roadblocks while encouraging diverse perspectives and collaborative problem‑solving.

• EPC/Construction Fluency: Deep understanding of construction phasing, utility interconnection, and on‑site integration. You know what happens when equipment hits the dirt.
• Cultural Alignment & Leadership Maturity: A proven track record of leading cohesive teams and influencing outcomes cross‑functionally without needing a formal mandate.
