About the role
Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence . As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster. We're in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We're solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI. We're looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved — people who want to grow their careers alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services. If you want to do the most meaningful work of your career, help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies, and be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, come build with us at Crusoe. About This Role: Crusoe is a vertically integrated AI Factory company with a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. Our competitive advantage—"Speed is the only moat"—is directly tied to our ability to rapidly design, manufacture, and deploy our own modular power and compute infrastructure. Crusoe Spark is scaling from 20 to 100+ units per year. At that velocity, supply chain is not a support function—it is a strategic weapon. We are seeking a Supply Chain & Procurement Lead to own the end-to-end supply chain for the Spark product line: from long-lead item sourcing and supplier management to BOM cost reduction and inventory strategy. You will be the single accountable owner, ensuring that material availability never constrains a deployment. What You'll Be Working On I. Demand Planning & Inventory Management Own SPARK's forward-looking material
requirements plan. You translate the deployment roadmap into a rolling 12–18 month procurement schedule—independently determining what needs to be ordered, in what quantity, and when—so that long-lead items are never on the critical path of a deployment. You don't wait to be handed a forecast; you build the plan and hold the organization to it. Establish and manage safety stock for long-lead items (transformers, cooling modules) to protect against demand spikes and supplier lead time variability. Build and maintain a real-time supply chain dashboard with visibility into order status, lead times, supplier performance, and risk flags—readable by the GM in under 60 seconds. II. Supply Chain Risk Management Proactively identify and maintain a formal register of supply chain risks—geopolitical exposure, single-source dependencies, capacity constraints, logistics vulnerabilities—with live mitigation plans and escalation triggers. Develop and maintain pre-qualified backup suppliers for all Tier 1 components before they are needed, not after a crisis surfaces. Own the BU's response playbook for supply disruptions; know exactly which levers to pull and how quickly to pull them when a supplier misses a commitment. III. BOM Ownership & Cost Optimization Own the SPARK bill of materials from a procurement and cost perspective. Maintain real-time cost visibility and drive iterative cost reduction with the Principal Design Engineer and Crusoe Industries without compromising quality or delivery. Lead should-cost modeling to benchmark supplier pricing and surface negotiation opportunities across hardware categories. Track and report BOM cost variance against unit economics targets; escalate to the BizOps Manager and GM when thresholds are breached. IV. Strategic Sourcing & Supplier Management Source, qualify, and manage suppliers for SPARK's critical and long-lead components—including power transformers, cooling systems, high-density racks, networking hardware, and structural assemblies—in coordination with Crusoe's central procurement team, leveraging existing relationships where applicable. Identify SPARK's single-source exposure and proactively develop alternative sourcing options for high-risk components. Flag the risk early, propose the strategy, and drive resolution—don't wait for a disruption. Ensure commercial terms, delivery windows, and quality standards in supplier agreements reflect SPARK's deployment realities before any agreement is executed. V. New & Emerging Product Support Partner with the Principal Design Engineer during product development to shape component selection for supply chain scalability, cost, and lead time—before the BOM is locked. Lead qualification and integration of suppliers new to the SPARK team, ensuring onboarding never delays a product launch. Coordinate with Crusoe Industries to unify factory-level procurement with SPARK-side strategic inventory—one integrated plan, not two competing spreadsheets. What You'll Bring To
