About the Role

We're hiring a Senior Supply Chain and Logistics Manager to drive analytical rigor, forecasting accuracy, logistics performance, and capital efficiency across Nscale's global hardware supply chain. This role sits within Supply Chain Operations and reports to the VP, Supply Chain Planning, where you'll lead the development and execution of demand, procurement, allocation, inventory, and global logistics strategies working closely with datacenter operations, Finance, hardware vendors, and global logistics providers. You will own the strategy to ensure GPUs and supporting hardware are available in the right region, at the right time, in the right configuration while reducing excess inventory, stranded capital, transportation risk, and supply disruption. This is a high-impact opportunity for a strategic leader who wants to shape how a fast-scaling AI infrastructure business plans and moves critical hardware globally.

Responsibilities

Lead end-to-end hardware movement strategy from vendor to datacenter, including freight modes, customs clearance, and final-mile delivery optimization.
Own transportation lead time and cross-border logistics models, translating regulatory and regional constraints into deployment schedules and mitigation strategies.
Direct partnerships with global logistics providers to optimize freight cost, transit time, and risk exposure, driving continuous improvement in logistics performance.
Drive resolution of bottlenecks in international shipping, customs, and warehouse operations through data-informed process improvements and vendor accountability.
Lead new datacenter launch strategy through hardware readiness and logistics feasibility analysis, ensuring seamless deployment execution.
Own short-, mid-, and long-term demand forecasting for racks, servers, networking, and supporting infrastructure, driving forecast accuracy improvements.
Translate commercial pipeline, expansion plans, and infrastructure roadmaps into strategic hardware demand models and capacity plans.
Lead scenario modeling across capacity expansion, supply constraints, regional demand shifts, and logistics lead times to support strategic planning.
Drive continuous improvement in forecast accuracy and planning methodologies, establishing best practices across the organization.
Own inventory analytics, including levels, turns, aging, and stranded capital risk assessment across regions, with authority over rebalancing decisions.
Lead rebalancing and redeployment strategies for excess, obsolete, or underutilized hardware to optimize capital efficiency.
Direct spare pooling optimization, buffer stock strategy, and inter-region transfer decisions to align with business priorities.
Develop cross-region allocation strategies that balance customer demand with hardware availability while maximizing capital efficiency.
Own warehousing footprint strategy and regional stocking policies, driving organizational alignment on inventory positioning.
Establish and maintain executive dashboards for demand versus supply position, GPU allocation status, inventory health and aging, procurement and transportation lead times, and in-transit logistics performance.
Drive strategic analysis and provide executive recommendations to support critical supply and logistics decisions.
Lead cross-functional partnership with Finance to ensure hardware forecasts and logistics costs are integrated into capital planning models.
Own datacenter operations coordination to ensure deployment readiness across multiple sites and support business objectives.
Own structured risk models for supply shocks, freight disruptions, vendor concentration, and geopolitical constraints affecting supply chain resilience.
Lead sensitivity analyses on pricing volatility, allocation shifts, transportation delays, and demand surges to inform strategic planning.
Drive proactive mitigation strategies to eliminate supply chain and logistics disruption risks, with accountability for execution.

Requirements
