What You’ll Do:

The Global Supplier Management and Technical Sourcing team builds the strategic partnerships that fuel technical innovation, uphold rigorous quality standards, and deliver significant cost savings through optimized supply chain solutions.

About the Role:

As a Staff Technical Sourcing Manager, you will serve as the primary commercial lead for a portfolio of hardware technologies, systems, or infrastructure categories powering our data center deployments. You will own the end-to-end sourcing strategy for your area—from technology and supplier selection through negotiation, contracting, ramp, and lifecycle management—and build the supply resilience needed to scale reliably in a market where capacity is scarce and lead times are long. This role sits at the intersection of engineering and commercial strategy, requiring you to shape technical requirements and influence supplier roadmaps before designs are locked. Leveraging deep industry knowledge and executive-level supplier relationships, you will optimize total cost of ownership across our rapidly expanding global infrastructure, where a change to a single component or system can move the economics of an entire fleet.

In this role, you will:

Develop, implement, and continuously refine comprehensive sourcing strategies and multi-generation roadmaps for your assigned portfolio, aligning supply capability to business growth and technology direction.

Maintain a deep pulse on emerging technologies, supply and demand dynamics, capacity investment, and industry trends. Conduct competitive analyses and benchmark the supply base to inform build-versus-buy, qualification, and dual-source decisions.

Lead cross-functional teams through the sourcing process for new platforms, technologies, and components—defining requirements, running RFI, RFQ, and RFP events, evaluating proposals on technical and commercial merit, and driving business award decisions.

Lead complex, high-value supplier negotiations covering pricing, capacity, quality and delivery commitments, warranty, liability, and intellectual property. Secure favorable terms that protect supply and margin.

Own the drafting, execution, and administration of master supply agreements, long-term agreements, statements of work, and amendments. Partner with Legal to manage risk and ensure commercial terms are enforced throughout the life of each agreement.

Build bottom-up should-cost models and total cost of ownership analyses to inform negotiation strategy and identify cost reduction opportunities. Partner with Finance on budgeting, forecasting, savings tracking, and reconciliation, and maintain accountability for committed cost targets.

Build supply resilience through qualified dual sourcing, geographic and sub-tier diversification, capacity reservations, and long-term supply commitments. Identify and mitigate exposure from single points of failure, sub-tier constraints, allocation events, tariffs, trade policy, and geopolitical disruption.

Establish and manage supplier scorecards across cost, quality, delivery, technology, and responsiveness. Lead quarterly and executive business reviews, drive corrective action where performance gaps exist, and hold suppliers to continuous …
