VP GPU Compute Procurement

We are hiring a VP GPU Compute Procurement for a next-generation AI infrastructure platform building AI factories at industrial scale.

This is a high-impact leadership role at the intersection of compute supply, capital deployment, and infrastructure buildout.

You will be responsible for how the platform secures GPU and hardware supply in a constrained global market, ensuring capacity is delivered reliably, at speed, and at scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Compute Procurement Strategy Own end-to-end procurement across GPUs, servers, networking, and critical AI infrastructure hardware.
• Strategic Supplier Relationships Build and manage senior relationships with OEMs and key ecosystem partners, ensuring priority access, allocation and commercial advantage.
• Commercial Leadership Lead high-value negotiations across critical infrastructure categories, protecting time to capacity and maintaining cost discipline.
• Capacity & Deployment Alignment Work closely with leadership, engineering and infrastructure teams to align procurement with long-term buildout and deployment timelines.
• Function Buildout Establish and scale a procurement function capable of supporting a rapidly growing, industrial-scale AI platform.

Required Experience

• Direct experience in compute procurement or hardware supply chain leadership
• Background within a hyperscaler, AI cloud platform, NVIDIA ecosystem business, system partner, or relevant OEM
• Strong understanding of GPU supply dynamics, allocation constraints, lead times and pricing pressure
• Proven track record negotiating large-scale hardware or infrastructure agreements
• Commercially strong, credible with senior stakeholders, and able to operate in a fast-moving build environment

What This Role Is Not

This is not a traditional enterprise procurement role. It is not indirect procurement. It is not data centre construction procurement without compute exposure. It is not programme or delivery management.

This is a strategic procurement role focused on securing and scaling compute infrastructure.
