Job description

HEAD OF PROCUREMENT, NORTH AMERICA

AI INFRASTRUCTURE | BAY AREA

$175,000-$300,000 + EQUITY


WeEngage has been retained by a European neocloud with international reach to appoint its first Head of Procurement for North America.


This is not a role to inherit a mature function.


You will establish the regional procurement organisation, build the supplier ecosystem and take commercial ownership of the infrastructure required to support an accelerating US data-centre footprint.


Reporting to the Global VP of Procurement, the mandate spans:

  • GPU compute, servers, storage and networking
  • Data-centre infrastructure and regional CapEx
  • OEM, ODM and contract-manufacturing partnerships
  • Supplier selection, qualification and governance
  • Pricing, capacity reservations and commercial negotiations
  • Supply assurance, cost control and delivery performance
  • Recruitment and leadership of the US procurement team
  • Close partnership with engineering, operations, finance and executive leadership


We are looking for an established procurement or supply-chain leader from AI infrastructure, hyperscale cloud, data centres, enterprise hardware or another mission-critical technology environment.


You should bring:

  • Significant ownership of complex hardware or infrastructure spend
  • Strong relationships across the US supplier market
  • Established OEM/ODM and manufacturing connections across Taiwan and Greater China
  • Experience negotiating strategic agreements at executive level
  • Evidence of building teams, processes and supplier strategies from the ground up
  • The ability to operate strategically while remaining close to execution
  • Professional fluency in English and Mandarin Chinese is essential


The strongest candidates are likely operating at Director, Senior Director or Head-of level. This is not intended for someone seeking a purely advisory or highly established corporate environment.


The position will be based in the San Francisco Bay Area, with international travel across North America, Europe and APAC.


This is an opportunity to define how a next-generation AI infrastructure business purchases, deploys and scales its North American platform.


All enquiries will be handled in strict confidence.


To discuss the mandate, contact Dylan McGough O’Reilly directly.
