We treat our customers’ outcomes as our own, taking pride in the systems we build and the trust we earn. If you’re motivated by purpose, obsessed with excellence, and ready to work very hard to accelerate the future of intelligence, join us in building what's next.
About the Role
Fluidstack is scaling into one of the largest AI infrastructure platforms in the world, and supply chain is a strategic differentiator. As VP, Supply Chain, you will own the complete supply chain function: the processes, systems, and supplier relationships that put compute capacity in the ground ahead of demand.

You will directly manage commodity and sourcing managers, our procurement team, and logistics coordinators across MEP, IT infrastructure categories, and contract labor. You will personally own our most critical supplier relationships, negotiate our largest agreements, and stay close to day-to-day execution on supply risk and logistics performance.
