About The Position
The Senior Technical Sourcing Manager, Rack & Power is the senior commercial and technical sourcing lead for rack-level power delivery commodities within IREN’s AI infrastructure. This includes power shelves, busbars, PDUs, battery backup/UPS, rectifiers, and DC-DC conversion hardware. Reporting to the Director, Technical Sourcing – Platforms, this leader independently develops and drives commercial sourcing strategy and negotiations for these commodities from concept through volume production. The role operates with a high degree of autonomy, bringing well-formed recommendations and solutions. This role partners closely with Engineering, Integrated Planning, AI Hardware Supply Chain Operations, AI Hardware Quality Engineering, and Finance. It operates within the supplier management framework set by Strategy and Transformation and partners with the Director for strategic guidance, coaching, and alignment on the highest-impact decisions to secure the cost, terms, and supply resilience needed to support IREN’s rapid AI datacenter capacity growth.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Supply Chain Management, Finance, a related field, or an engineering discipline; Master’s degree or MBA preferred. Equivalent experience in high-tech commodity management will be considered.
- 10+ years of progressive experience in strategic sourcing, commodity management, or commercial supply chain roles supporting data center, hyperscaler, cloud, or AI infrastructure hardware, with direct exposure to power delivery commodities.
- Demonstrated ability to operate with a high degree of autonomy — independently structuring sourcing strategy, negotiation approach, and commercial recommendations, and escalating only the highest-impact or most ambiguous decisions.
- Proven track record leading complex supplier negotiations, RFP/RFI/RFQ processes, and business awards, and negotiating master supply agreements (MSAs) and statements of work (SOWs).
- Strong commercial acumen, with demonstrated experience in should-cost modeling, total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis, and pricing strategy to drive negotiation outcomes.
- Working familiarity with rack-level power delivery architecture (power shelves, busbars, PDUs, battery backup/UPS, rectifiers, DC-DC conversion) sufficient to engage credibly with Engineering and suppliers on commercial and roadmap discussions.
- Experience managing supplier commercial performance through structured business reviews, covering cost, delivery, and contractual commitments.
- Strong executive relationship management and negotiation skills, with experience influencing supplier pricing, terms, and capacity commitments at senior levels.
Responsibilities
- Develop and own commercial sourcing strategy and a multi-generational roadmap for rack-level power delivery commodities, applying the supplier management framework set by Strategy and Transformation.
- Lead supplier selection for new power components, including RFP/RFI/RFQ processes, commercial negotiations, and business awards.
- Own and negotiate master supply agreements (MSAs), statements of work (SOWs), and pricing structures, applying should-cost and TCO modeling to optimize total cost across the power commodity.
- Drive commercial terms and cost negotiations for power hardware NPI, supporting the transition from prototype and qualification builds through volume production ramp aligned to rack and data center deployment timelines.
- Partner with Engineering to align supplier roadmaps with IREN’s cost, performance, and reliability requirements, ensuring commercial terms keep pace with technology transitions.
- Build and maintain supplier relationships across the power supply base, monitoring commercial performance — cost, delivery, and contract compliance — through structured supplier business reviews.
- Maintain market and pricing intelligence on the power delivery supply base to inform sourcing strategy and negotiation leverage.
- Develop diverse and resilient commercial sourcing options across the power supply base to mitigate capacity, lead-time, regional-concentration, and single-source risk.
- Collaborate with Integrated Planning and AI Hardware Supply Chain Operations to translate capacity plans and demand signals into executable commercial commitments for power hardware.
- Act as a senior, largely autonomous commercial resource within the platform sourcing team, mentoring junior category staff and helping establish best practices, KPIs, and governance cadences as IREN’s power commodity scales, partnering with the Director for coaching and guidance on the team’s highest-impact decisions.
