Senior Technical Sourcing Manager, Server & Storage Platforms

About IREN IREN is building the infrastructure behind the next era of AI.

We design, build, and operate massive-scale data centers, and we’re racing to deploy some of the largest fleets of GPU and CPU compute on the planet.

This isn’t incremental growth — it’s a full-throttle sprint to power the frontier of AI and high-performance computing.

Our Technical Sourcing team sits at the center of that mission, securing the compute, services, and partnerships that let IREN move faster than anyone else in the industry.

The Role IREN is looking for a Technical Sourcing Manager, Server & Storage Platforms to take full ownership of our most critical OEM and ODM relationships.

This is not a support role — you’ll be the commercial and operational owner of multimillion-dollar partnerships, driving the negotiations, pricing strategy, and supply commitments that determine how fast IREN can build.

If you love the adrenaline of a supply-constrained market, thrive on high-stakes negotiation, and want to see your work show up as racks going live in a live data center within weeks of your decisions — this is the seat for you.

You’ll operate with real autonomy, direct executive visibility, and the mandate to shape how IREN sources Server & Storage Platforms at hyperscale.

Job requirements

• Own the end-to-end sourcing relationship with rack integration ODM partners: commercial negotiations, pricing, quoting, contracting, and account governance.

• Manage ODM partners’ rack integration build process, ensuring quality, schedule, and specification are met at every step.

• Own sourcing and vendor management for installation services, including Professional Services for Installation, Deployment & Verification (IDV) of AI infrastructure racks.

• Negotiate pricing, master purchase agreements, statements of work, service agreements, and SLAs that keep ODM and installation services vendors accountable to IREN’s speed and quality bar.

• Partner closely with Engineering, Operations, Deployment, and Program Management to align ODM rack integration and installation vendor capacity with delivery and go-live timelines — no excuses, no slippage.

• Own ODM and vendor performance end-to-end: run competitive bids, drive cost and reliability improvements, and raise the bar across the rack integration and installation services portfolio.

• Track ODM partners’ roadmaps and manufacturing/integration capacity to keep sourcing strategy ahead of upcoming platform transitions.

• Build and run the spares/repair strategy, including inventory planning and RMA turnaround, to keep fleets running at full capacity.

• Build and maintain demand forecasts with capacity planning and finance to inform purchase order timing and volume commitments.

• Keep contract documentation, vendor scorecards, and reporting sharp and ready for leadership at any moment.

Job responsibilities

• 12+ years of experience in technical sourcing, procurement, or vendor/services management, ideally within data center deployment or field services.

• Proven experience managing rack integration ODM or contract manufacturer relationships, and/or managing installation services such as deployment, commissioning, or verification.

• Strong contract negotiation skills and a track record managing multiple concurrent, high-stakes ODM and services vendor relationships.

• Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills — you move fluidly between engineering, operations, and finance.

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
