JOIN VULTR

Vultr is seeking a Director of Compute Infrastructure Procurement to lead the team that sources the physical inputs to Vultr's cloud capacity: servers, GPUs and accelerators, networking equipment, storage, and rack-level components. This is a deal-maker's seat first and a manager's seat second. You will own negotiation strategy across the supplier portfolio, operate the procurement gates, personally close the largest and most strategic agreements, and carry a cost-savings target of your own. You will direct a team spanning category and sourcing management, procurement execution, vendor management, and program management, and you will be accountable to executive leadership for what Vultr commits to and what it walks away from.

Key Responsibilities

- Own the IT hardware procurement funnel end to end, from sourcing strategy through PO execution, across compute, GPU/accelerator, networking, and storage categories

- Personally lead negotiation on the largest and most strategic supplier agreements; set negotiation strategy and playbooks for the sourcing team

- Operate the procurement approval process with evidence-based sourcing packages; present purchase recommendations and capital requests to the executive team and board

- Direct Category and Sourcing Managers building a proposal-ready, diversified supplier base across compute, GPU, networking, and storage; set category strategy and coverage priorities, owning outcomes rather than running RFQs

- Direct Procurement Managers driving quote-to-PO execution on standard hardware orders

- Direct Vendor Management on contract renewals, pricing reviews, and escalations across the existing supplier portfolio.

- Direct Program Management in maintaining a single, consistent view of every order, lead time, and delivery commitment in flight across the hardware pipeline.

- Enforce the separation between commercial negotiation and technical/quality diligence; act on adverse findings even when they delay a deal you want

- Build and maintain senior relationships across OEMs, ODMs, distributors, and component manufacturers; carry a personal cost-savings target

- Enforce sequencing discipline: no hardware commitment executed against unconfirmed capacity or demand

- Partner at the executive seam with Infrastructure Engineering, Capacity Planning, Finance, Legal, and Data Center Operations leadership

- Track market and competitive intelligence — component pricing, GPU allocation, lead times, and supplier financial health — to inform negotiation strategy and hedging decisions.

- Monitor portfolio-level concentration and supply risk across vendors, components, and geographies, and flag exposure to executive leadership.

- Build IT HW procurement team and structure to align company growth; hire, develop, and hold managers accountable

Qualifications

- 10+ years in IT hardware procurement, strategic sourcing, or supply chain management with a personal track record of negotiating large, complex hardware agreements

- Demonstrated leadership of procurement or sourcing teams: setting category strategy, directing negotiations, and getting agreements signed

- Deep understanding of server and compute hardware markets, GPU/accelerator supply chains, OEM/ODM economics, and component-level supply constraints

- Sharp commercial judgment under compressed timelines, allocation constraints, and imperfect information

- Executive presence: able to carry sourcing rationale and risk to a board audience and defend a walk-away or vendor decision

- Bachelor's degree required; MBA valued

Preferred Experience

- Hyperscaler, neocloud, or GPU infrastructure procurement experience; direct negotiation with NVIDIA, AMD, or their distributors on accelerator allocation

- Familiarity with data center capacity planning, TCO modeling, and hardware lifecycle/refresh strategy

Compensation

$220,000 - $275,000

Final compensation will vary depending on years of experience, background/skill set, location, and applicable laws.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
