Lead rack systems planning across internal stakeholders; key component vendors and ODM partners. You will drive demand and supply alignment for rack programs, orchestrate cross-BU and engineering collaboration on rack-scale critical BOM components, build trusted relationships with ODM partners, and support development and execution of partner contractual agreements that translate plans into reliable delivery.
Job Responsibility:
Demand & supply alignment with rack partners
Own the integrated planning view for rack systems across all rack partners: demand signals, build/ship plans, constraints, and risks
Establish a repeatable operating cadence (forecasts, allocation discussions, change control, escalation) so partner plans stay aligned with BU priorities and customer commitments
Translate partner and program status into clear leadership visibility (green/yellow/red, decisions required)
Drive cross-functional and cross-BU collaboration to identify, prioritize, and manage rack-scale critical BOM items
Ensure one coherent plan across engineering, platform teams, and supply partners: ownership, timelines, alternates, and risk mitigations
Partner with supply chain / operations counterparts to connect technical choices to buildable, shippable outcomes
Build and sustain strong, executive-trust relationships with ODM partners
Represent the BU as a credible planning counterpart
Partner with Business Development, Legal, and Finance as needed to shape contractual frameworks that reflect planning realities
Support negotiation inputs (assumptions, scenarios, operational terms) and drive post-signature execution discipline
Ensure contract intent shows up in weekly/monthly operating mechanisms
Define metrics, dashboards, and review forums appropriate for rack planning maturity
Mentor and develop direct or matrix partners
scale the model as headcount allows
Requirements:
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Business, Operations, Supply Chain, or related field (or equivalent experience)
advanced degree a plus
Deep experience in hardware program management, supply planning, ODM/JDM engagement, or data center / server platform operations
Demonstrated success aligning demand and supply across external manufacturing partners in complex, multi-SKU environments
Proven ability to drive cross-organizational execution (engineering + operations + business stakeholders) on technical dependencies and delivery commitments
Experience contributing to commercial agreements (SOWs, supply agreements, statement of work changes, operational exhibits)—partnership with Legal/BD expected
you are not required to be an attorney
Excellent communication, negotiation support, and executive storytelling
Nice to have:
Direct experience with rack-scale GPU/AI infrastructure, hyperscale deployment models, or accelerated computing platforms
Familiarity with NPI ramp, commodity constraints, and configuration management across partner builds
Prior people leadership or sustained matrix leadership across multiple partners and internal teams
