About TensorWave

Our mission is simple: deliver seamless, secure, reliable, and resilient AI compute at scale. We've built a versatile cloud platform that eliminates infrastructure barriers, empowering builders to focus on innovation instead of fighting their stack. Because breakthrough AI should move at the speed of ideas, not infrastructure.

About the Role

We're looking for a VP of Global Procurement to join our team during an exciting phase of growth. In this role, you'll lead and scale our procurement organization — including our Director of Supply Chain & Logistics, Procurement Lead, and Business Procurement Partner — and serve as the senior executive owner of our strategic relationship with AMD and its OEM/ODM ecosystem, working closely with cross-functional partners to support business objectives while upholding our standards for excellence, collaboration, and impact.

What You'll Do

Own the strategy and execution for sourcing AMD Instinct GPUs, servers, networking equipment, and related infrastructure, including allocation and roadmap negotiations directly with AMD

Serve as the senior relationship owner with AMD's commercial, supply chain, and product roadmap teams, as well as AMD's OEM/ODM partners (e.g., Dell, Supermicro, HPE)

Partner with data center and energy teams to source colocation capacity, power contracts, cooling infrastructure, and long-lead-time construction materials

Build category management practices across silicon, servers/racks, networking, power/electrical, data center construction, software licensing, and logistics

Lead negotiations on complex, high-dollar agreements and manage supply risk, single-source exposure, and export-control considerations

Work closely with Finance, Data Center Operations, and Revenue/Sales teams to translate demand forecasts and capacity plans into procurement pipelines

Drive total cost of ownership improvements across hardware refresh cycles, financing structures, and vendor consolidation

Lead and develop our existing procurement team, clarify roles and ownership as scope grows, and recruit additional talent as needed

Stand up procurement policies, approval workflows, supplier scorecards, and systems to bring rigor and auditability to a fast-scaling spend base

Handle confidential vendor and pricing information with discretion and professionalism
