Requirements

8+ years of experience in strategic sourcing, category management, or procurement for power and cooling infrastructure equipment or related mechanical and electrical systems
Experience leading end-to-end sourcing processes including RFx development, supplier evaluation, commercial negotiation, and contract execution for capital equipment categories
Experience developing category strategies that incorporate market intelligence, total cost of ownership analysis, and supply risk assessment
Experience managing supplier relationships and driving measurable improvements in supplier performance across cost, quality, and delivery
Experience communicating complex sourcing strategies and supplier performance data to cross-functional teams and executive stakeholders

Nice To Haves

Experience sourcing power and cooling equipment specifically for hyperscale or large-scale data center environments, including familiarity with UPS, switchgear, transformers, and precision cooling systems
Experience applying should-cost modeling or value engineering methodologies to capital equipment categories
Experience working cross-functionally with data center engineering or construction teams to align procurement strategy with infrastructure design and deployment timelines
Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
Familiarity with commodity market dynamics affecting power and cooling equipment, including copper, steel, and refrigerant supply chains
Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies

Responsibilities

Define and execute multi-year category strategies for power and cooling infrastructure equipment, including market analysis, supplier segmentation, and sourcing roadmaps aligned to data center capacity growth
Lead competitive sourcing events, contract negotiations, and supplier selection processes for high-value power and cooling equipment categories such as UPS systems, switchgear, transformers, CRAC and CRAH units, and cooling towers
Develop and manage strategic supplier relationships, conducting regular business reviews to drive performance improvements in quality, delivery, cost, and capacity
Analyze total cost of ownership across the power and cooling supply base, identifying and executing cost reduction and value engineering opportunities in collaboration with engineering and design teams
Assess and mitigate supply chain risks associated with power and cooling equipment, including geopolitical exposure, single-source dependencies, long-lead-time components, and commodity price volatility
Partner with data center engineering, construction, and capacity planning teams to align sourcing strategies with technology roadmaps and infrastructure deployment schedules
Establish and track supplier capacity commitments to ensure supply availability supports Meta's global data center build pipeline
Drive supplier development initiatives to qualify new sources of supply, expand geographic diversity, and improve supply chain resilience for critical power and cooling categories
Develop executive-level reporting and category insights, communicating sourcing strategy, supplier performance, and risk posture to cross-functional stakeholders and leadership
