About the job
Own global sourcing for Fluidstack’s manufacturing facilities, negotiating supplier agreements and building resilient supply for factory equipment, fit-out, and services.
What you'll do
- Source equipment, fit-out, and services for manufacturing facilities; negotiate agreements across capital equipment, MRO, and facility services.
- Qualify and dual-source critical categories, tying supplier lead times to production ramps.
- Manage total cost—including freight, spares, uptime, and contract terms—and suppliers through factory launches or ramps.
What they ask for
- Experience sourcing capital equipment or industrial categories at scale and personally closing deals.
- Experience building supplier redundancy that has been tested and held.
- Negotiate using should-cost models rather than quote comparisons.
- Experience managing suppliers through a factory launch or major ramp; contracts should address delays, quality, and support.
Nice to have
- Manufacturing launches; equipment categories such as weld, CNC, and material handling.
- International supply bases; ERP procurement.
