The Role At Edged, we are building the next generation of sustainable digital infrastructure. We are looking for a Sourcing Specialist to join our Strategic Sourcing team. This is a high-impact role where you will act as a junior Global Supply Manager, owning the commercial relationships and supply assurance for critical data center equipment (e.g., Transformers, UPS, Switchgear). You won't just be crunching numbers; you will be the primary point of contact for our key partners. You will ensure our vendors are performing, our costs are optimized, and our projects stay on schedule across our global portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as the commercial lead for assigned equipment categories. You will manage the day-to-day relationship with vendors and lead regular performance reviews.
• Lead the RFP/RFQ process for your categories. This includes drafting scopes, leveling bids, and conducting TCO analysis to drive selection.
• Support commercial negotiations. You’ll be responsible for ensuring that our terms, pricing (including $/MW targets), and delivery schedules are locked in and protected.
• Proactively monitor vendor production and factory schedules. You are the "first responder" if a lead-time slips, working directly with the vendor to mitigate risks to our construction timelines.
• Build and maintain "Should-Cost" models. You’ll track commodity trends and market shifts to ensure Edged maintains a competitive edge in procurement.
• Partner with Engineering, Construction, and Finance to ensure technical requirements are met and that procurement stay aligned with project budgets.

What You Bring

• You’re comfortable being the "face" of Edged to our vendors. You can hold partners accountable while maintaining a collaborative working relationship.
• You have strong Excel skills and can translate a complex bid leveling sheet into a clear recommendation for leadership.
• You don't wait for a status update; you go get it. You thrive in a fast-paced environment where you have the autonomy to solve problems.

Experience

• 2–4 years of experience in Sourcing, Procurement, or Supply Chain Management. Experience with electrical/mechanical infrastructure or data centers is a significant plus.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, or a related field.
