The opportunity
Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, is a leader in AI cloud infrastructure serving tens of thousands of customers. Our customers range from AI researchers to enterprises and hyperscalers.
What you'll do
Own the multi-year sourcing and category strategy for the equipment and: construction scopes that deliver Lambda's datacenter capacity — long-lead electrical and mechanical equipment, construction, and trade packages
Partner with Construction, Design, and Development teams from site selection: and basis-of-design through procurement, construction, commissioning, and handover, ensuring sourcing strategy and construction schedule are built against the same dates
Own procurement of long-lead datacenter infrastructure equipment: generators, switchgear, transformers, UPS, busway, chillers, air handling units, and cooling distribution — sequencing awards and deliveries to protect the critical path
Lead the contracting strategy for construction delivery: select and negotiate with general contractors, EPCs, design firms, and specialty trades, and choose the commercial model (lump sum, GMP, cost-plus, design-build) that fits each project's risk profile
Serve as Lambda's lead negotiator on the highest-value construction and: equipment agreements — setting negotiation strategy, driving consensus on goals and success criteria internally and externally, and partnering with Legal on master agreement terms
Own the owner-furnished equipment strategy: deciding what Lambda buys directly versus through the contractor, and managing the logistics, storage, warranty, and installation interfaces that decision creates
What they're looking for
- Drive change order discipline across active construction projects: assess claims and schedule impacts against the underlying business case, partner with Construction Management and Legal on resolution, and adjust impact models cross-functionally
- Identify systematic, long-term cost reduction opportunities across equipment: and construction categories — standardization, volume aggregation across sites, early buys, and design-to-cost — and lead the cross-functional effort to realize them
- Build and own strategic partnerships with OEMs, contractors, and trade: partners that secure capacity and delivery slots in a constrained market, and drive innovation, prefabrication, and schedule compression
- Negotiate and provide strategic oversight of delivery commitments,: milestones, and SLAs across equipment vendors and construction partners; own compliance end to end and cascade expectations into the business
