Job summary

IREN is seeking a Technical Sourcing Manager, Server & Storage Platforms to own OEM/ODM relationships and drive negotiations, pricing and supply commitments for hyperscale data center builds.

You will control end-to-end sourcing for servers, GPU/AI systems, memory and storage, collaborate with Engineering, Data Center Operations, and Finance, and shape procurement strategy in a fast-paced, supply-constrained market.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in technical sourcing, procurement, or supply chain management.
• Experience sourcing server/compute or storage hardware from major OEM/ODM.
• Deep understanding of server architecture, GPU-based compute platforms, and component supply chains.
• Demonstrated success negotiating complex, high-value commercial agreements and managing multimillion-dollar OEM and ODM relationships.
• Battle-tested experience navigating supply-constrained/allocation-based markets and building mitigation strategies that actually work.
• Sharp analytical instincts — cost models, TCO analyses, and forecasts under pressure.
• Excellent cross-functional collaboration with engineering, operations, finance, and legal.
• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, or related field.

Responsibilities

• Own OEM and ODM compute sourcing relationships end-to-end: commercial negotiations, pricing, quoting, contracting, and account governance.
• Drive sourcing and procurement of compute & storage platforms — servers, GPU/AI systems, storage, and associated components.
• Stay ahead of a brutally supply-constrained market: track and manage allocation of GPUs, CPUs, memory, NICs, and power supplies, and get out in front of shortages before they become blockers.
• Partner directly with Engineering, Data Center Operations, and Program Management to keep sourcing timelines locked in step with construction, provisioning, and go-live milestones.
• Lead high-stakes RFQ/RFP processes, cost modeling, and total-cost-of-ownership analysis for major compute & storage hardware programs.
• Negotiate master purchase agreements, pricing schedules, SLAs, warranty terms, and support/maintenance contracts that protect IREN’s speed and margins.
• Track OEM and ODM product roadmaps closely and shape sourcing strategy around the next wave of CPU/GPU generations, chassis, and cooling designs before the market catches up.
• Own supplier performance — delivery, quality, escalations, and quarterly business reviews — and hold OEM and ODM partners to a standard worthy of IREN’s growth.
• Build and maintain demand forecasts with capacity planning and finance to drive purchase order timing and volume commitments.
• Hunt for cost-savings and risk-mitigation opportunities: dual-sourcing, strategic buys, contract restructuring — anything that gives IREN an edge.
• Keep sourcing records, contract documentation, and reporting sharp and audit-ready for internal stakeholders and leadership.
• Existing relationships within a major OEM’s and/or ODM’s enterprise/infrastructure account team.
• Experience sourcing for AI training/inference infrastructure at scale (thousands of GPUs).
• Deep familiarity with data center commissioning timelines and how hardware delivery integrates with provisioning and rack integration schedules.
