Procurement Manager

About TensorWave

Our mission is simple: deliver seamless, secure, reliable, and resilient AI compute at scale. We've built a versatile cloud platform that eliminates infrastructure barriers, empowering builders to focus on innovation instead of fighting their stack. Because breakthrough AI should move at the speed of ideas, not infrastructure.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Procurement Manager to join our team during an exciting phase of growth. In this role, you’ll own procurement for our data center infrastructure, software, and technical services, from vendor selection and contract negotiation through demand planning and lifecycle management. Working closely with Engineering, Finance, and Inventory Management, you’ll translate technical roadmaps into multi-year supply forecasts, build a resilient supplier network, and control costs while upholding our standards for excellence, collaboration, and impact.

• Coordinate and integrate the flow of materials and information among suppliers, internal stakeholders, and top management.

• Identify and manage technology vendors, component manufacturers, and cloud infrastructure partners.

• Negotiate Master Services Agreements (MSAs), Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and pricing strategies to mitigate risk and control costs.

• Build redundancy into the supplier network to protect the company from geopolitical disruptions or regional component shortages

Demand Planning & Lifecycle Management
