Job Description:

Together AI is rapidly scaling its infrastructure, and we need a senior supply chain professional to own the hardware supply chain end to end. In this role, you will develop sourcing strategies for the full compute hardware stack, lead high-value negotiations with OEMs, ODMs and commodity suppliers, and build the sourcing systems and frameworks required to support global infrastructure expansion. This is a high-impact position with direct executive visibility; your decisions will shape how quickly and cost-effectively the company can deploy compute at scale. You will work closely with senior leaders across Infrastructure Engineering, Operations, and Strategic Finance, serving as the connective tissue between what the company needs to build and how it gets the hardware to build it.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead the full strategic sourcing and procurement lifecycle for GPUs, servers, networking equipment, storage, and supporting components across large-scale cluster builds. Own sourcing, negotiation, contracting, delivery coordination, and acceptance
  • Negotiate and structure multi-million dollar supply agreements across several categories of hardware vendors. Secure pricing, volume commitments, lead times, and warranty terms that protect the company's cost position and supply continuity
  • Design and scale the company's hardware supply chain, including inventory planning, supplier diversification, and logistics. Build procurement infrastructure that keeps pace with rapid capacity expansion across multiple sites and geographies
  • Track GPU and data center commodity hardware markets for supply shifts, pricing dynamics, component roadmaps, and geopolitical risks. Translate market intelligence into sourcing recommendations and present findings to executive leadership. Optimize TCO
  • Own strategic supplier relationships and drive performance through regular executive reviews, joint planning, and clear accountability frameworks. Qualify and onboard new vendors as the hardware supply chain diversifies
  • Align supply chain strategy with technical roadmaps and capital plans. Provide visibility into supply chain status, risks, and investment trade-offs at the executive level
  • Stand up the supply chain tools, workflows, and reporting systems needed to manage hardware spending at scale, including cost tracking, order management, and vendor benchmarking

Requirements:

  • 7-10+ years of experience in hardware strategic sourcing, procurement, or supply chain management within data center infrastructure, cloud computing, or high-performance computing environments
  • Deep and direct experience with the full compute hardware stack (GPUs, servers, networking, storage), including expertise in major OEM/ODM supplier landscapes, semiconductor supply chain dynamics, and hands-on experience managing GPU sourcing and allocation at scale
  • Track record of personally leading and closing complex, high-value hardware deals. Experience structuring long-term supply agreements across pricing, delivery, and risk dimensions
  • Experience building supply chain models for technical hardware at scale: demand forecasting, inventory strategy, logistics coordination, and supply risk mitigation
  • Strong executive presence with the ability to partner with and influence C-level leaders, senior engineering teams, and cross-functional stakeholders. Comfortable presenting supply chain strategy and risk assessments to senior leadership
  • Advanced analytical skills with fluency in total cost of ownership modeling, financial trade-off analysis, and procurement performance metrics
  • Ability to travel to supplier sites
  • Must have recent experience in high-growth, ambiguous environments where processes are being defined rather than inherited

Nice to have:

  • Experience managing supply chain for networking equipment
  • Experience with ERP or procurement platforms (e.g., SAP, Coupa, NetSuite, Zip) and building supply chain automation workflows
What we offer:
  • competitive compensation
  • startup equity
  • health insurance
  • other benefits
  • flexibility in terms of remote work
