  • Establish supplier scorecards and governance mechanisms to track delivery accuracy, lead times, SLA compliance, inventory practices, risk indicators, and responsiveness
  • Lead QBRs and corrective‑action cycles to improve performance and reduce operational risk
  • Partner with Data & Analytics teams to create visibility into cost drivers, availability trends, inventory accuracy, and adoption metrics
  • Use data to inform negotiation strategy, supplier segmentation, and category roadmap decisions
  • Support the regional rollout of CE Spares processes, including catalog enablement, approved‑parts governance, data quality, BOM traceability, and readiness checks for new sites
  • Coordinate with global category leaders to align global strategy, templates, supplier segmentation, and best practices
  • Ensure EMEA insights and regional nuances are incorporated into global decision‑making
  • Monitor regional supply‑market dynamics including capacity constraints, geopolitical risk, logistics dependencies, and regulatory requirements
  • Proactively adjust sourcing strategies to maintain continuity and reduce cost exposure
  • Drive continuous improvement by identifying inefficiencies in supplier onboarding, contracting, and inventory workflows
  • Support pilot efforts, test new operating models, validate assumptions, and scale proven practices across EMEA
  • Ensure sites have the correct CE Spares contracts, suppliers, and delivery models in place before operational turnover
  • Partner with site operations to validate readiness, troubleshoot gaps, and maintain strong communication loops as new data centers come online

  • Experience supporting or leading new‑program buildouts, such as new category creation, supplier‑base consolidation, pilot programs, or new‑site readiness initiatives
  • Familiarity with BOM structures and asset‑based procurement, particularly how equipment generations, preventive/corrective maintenance needs, and lifecycle requirements translate to spare‑parts strategy
  • Proficiency with procurement and planning systems such as Ariba, SAP/IBP, Icertis, CMMS platforms, or similar enterprise tools
  • Ability to partner with technical teams to improve data quality and catalog accuracy
  • Strong analytical rigor, including comfort working with cost models, demand signals, historical performance data, availability metrics, and risk indicators to inform category strategy
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to influence cross‑functional partners (Engineering, Operations, Planning, Finance, Legal, Supplier Management) across cultures and time zones
  • Experience working across EMEA markets, with understanding of regional supply‑market dynamics, import/export considerations, compliance environments, and logistical constraints (preferred)
  • Demonstrated ability to operate in high‑growth, fast‑changing, and ambiguous environments, bringing structure, prioritization, and strategic clarity to complex sourcing challenges
  • Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role
