Full Job Description

Imagine a future where everyone has instant, low-cost access to intelligence. We’re building a fully featured European AI cloud - with everything one needs to train, experiment with, and deploy AI models. In addition, our GPUs run on 100% renewable energy.

We’re ambitious, curious, and gutsy doers. We practice a low hierarchy across the company and high morale in our teams. We’ve already achieved a lot, yet we’re At Verda, we're building a fully featured European AI cloud, covering everything needed to train, experiment with, and deploy AI models at scale.

We are a full-stack AI infrastructure company, meaning we design, operate, and optimize the compute powering modern AI workloads across training and inference. Our infrastructure runs on 100% renewable energy, helping build a more sustainable AI ecosystem.

Join Verda while it’s still being built - not once it’s finished.

About the role

Verda has a data center in the US and a hardware supply chain that spans Taiwan, Japan, the US, and Europe. The US is one of our top-priority markets and the Senior Procurement Specialist here will own it independently, sourcing hardware, managing suppliers, coordinating logistics, and handling the commercial agreements that keep everything moving.

This is a role for someone who thrives with ownership. You'll be Verda's procurement presence in the US, working closely with the central team in Finland while running US operations with a high degree of independence. The expectation is that you bring the judgment and drive to make things happen locally and reach out when you need to, not because you have to.

What You’ll Do

Own end-to-end procurement for US operations: sourcing components and servers, issuing RFQs, evaluating quotations, negotiating pricing, placing orders, and tracking delivery through to invoice reconciliation
Define and execute sourcing strategies for key hardware categories, identifying the right vendors, developing new supplier relationships, and building the supply options that give Verda flexibility and competitive pricing
Manage supplier relationships day-to-day: performance tracking, lead time management, issue escalation, and RMA coordination
Coordinate inbound and outbound logistics for the US data center, customs clearance, shipment tracking, and resolving delivery issues before they become operational problems
Support CAPEX planning and procurement forecasting in close coordination with the Finland-based procurement team and Finance
Review and manage procurement contracts and supply agreements, covering delivery terms, SLAs, liability, and price escalation, coordinating with Legal when escalation is needed
Maintain accurate procurement documentation: purchase orders, invoices, contracts, and supplier records
Develop new vendors and maintain a market view on hardware pricing, availability, and supply trends relevant to Verda's hardware categories

What We’re Looking For

5+ years in procurement, supply chain, or vendor management in a hardware, technology infrastructure, or data center environment
Proven ability to run end-to-end procurement independently, from receiving a purchase request through to delivery confirmation and invoice reconciliation. You don't need a process to be handed to you
Strong negotiation skills: you've negotiated hardware supply agreements, volume pricing, and delivery terms and can evidence the outcomes
Comfortable with logistics coordination and international shipping, customs clearance, Incoterms, freight forwarding, and the practical reality of moving hardware across borders
Able to review and manage commercial contracts without routing everything through Legal first: you understand what you're signing and what exposure it creates
Comfortable with full-time office presence five days a week, given the operational nature of the role (on-site coordination, logistics, and hands-on procurement work). This isn't a remote or hybrid position
Proficiency in both Mandarin and English

Nice to have

Experience procuring GPU servers, AI accelerators, or data center infrastructure hardware. Familiarity with server ODMs and the supply dynamics of this market
Understanding of Asian supply chains, ODM and OEM procurement from Taiwan, Japan, or mainland China, including lead time and allocation dynamics
Experience in a scaling startup or high-growth environment where structure was still being built while work was being executed
Additional languages relevant to our supply chain: Japanese, or a major European language

Practicalities

Work mode: On-site, full-time office presence 5 days a week in Santa Clara, California. Given the operational nature of the role (on-site coordination, logistics, and hands-on procurement work), this isn't a remote or hybrid position
Travel: Frequent domestic and international travel
Employment type: Full-time and permanent
Compensation: USD 120,000 to USD 160,000 base salary, depending on experience and skills, plus equity. The final offer will reflect your experience, capabilities, and location within the range.

What's Next

We're building fast and this role needs the right person behind it. There's no artificial deadline, but when we find who we're looking for, we move.

If this sounds like your next move, apply now.
