Procurement Manager
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 Procurement Manager to join our team during an exciting phase of growth. In this role, you’ll own procurement for our data center infrastructure, software, and technical services, from vendor selection and contract negotiation through demand planning and lifecycle management.
