  • Collaborate closely with Engineering, Operations, Planning, and Supplier Management to validate technical requirements, ensure supplier capability, and confirm that selected suppliers support both preventive and corrective maintenance needs at each site
  • 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

  • Strong commercial acumen with a track record of negotiating complex agreements, building pricing models, designing SLA/quality frameworks, and reducing risk through well‑structured contracts
  • 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
  • This position will be required to pass the Microsoft Cloud background check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter
