Fluidstack is building civilization-scale compute infrastructure for AI at unprecedented speed and scale. The company acquires power, designs and builds data centers, and operates them across hardware and software teams. The mission is to deploy frontier compute infrastructure faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack.
As Head of Supply Chain, you will own end-to-end sourcing and procurement for every critical equipment category supporting a 10GW build. This includes switchgear, transformers, generators, UPS systems, chillers, CDUs, and long-lead items that set the project schedule. You will lock vendor capacity and lead times against the forward build pipeline, hold vendors accountable to production ramps by tracking every commitment from PO to delivery, and escalate immediately when ship dates slip.
You will build and lead the category team by hiring category leads and buyers, defining the sourcing playbook, and owning results. Cross-functional collaboration with Design, Construction, and Manufacturing teams is critical to ensure equipment arrives before the schedule requires it and procurement never becomes the bottleneck.
Fluidstack operates with full autonomy, insane urgency, first-principles reasoning, and a focus on building something that matters. The company culture emphasizes ownership, speed, and intensity.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Personally owned $300M+ in direct materials spend on physical equipment, with detailed knowledge of the numbers
- Held vendors to production ramp commitments; can name specific instances of supplier slippage and your response
- Built a category or sourcing team: hired people, set processes, and handed off categories that continued delivering
- Worked electrical and mechanical equipment lead times hands-on, including factory slots and test dates
- Scaled supply at a company transitioning from prototype to volume, where you wrote the playbook
- Made sourcing decisions on incomplete data, owned failures, and can articulate what you changed afterward
- Bonus experience: data center or utility-scale electrical equipment; fast-scaling hardware (EV, aerospace, energy storage); dual-sourcing critical categories through supply shocks; supplier quality and factory acceptance testing programs; modular or offsite construction supply chains
