**Why Join Giga **

- **The Pace: ** We're building at a speed most companies talk about but never actually operate at. If you've been bored somewhere else, you won't be here.

- **The Impact **: Every person at Giga touches the work that matters. No layers, no waiting for approval chains. You'll see your fingerprints on what we ship.

- **The Team: ** A team of operators defining the future of AI infrastructure. We recruit A-players from the most innovative companies in the world, and they choose Giga because the work here means more.

- **The Moment **: AI doesn't run without power, and that's us. Giga is the picks and shovels behind the AI revolution. This industry is about to explode, and you'll be in the room where it's already happening.

**What you'll do **

As **Procurement Manager **, you own the full procurement lifecycle across Giga's manufacturing operations. You'll work directly with operations team members to understand what needs to be sourced at every stage, identify and qualify vendors, negotiate competitive terms, and ensure materials arrive on time. This is a hands-on, high-visibility role that sits at the intersection of supply chain, operations, and order management— and the person in it will have a direct impact on whether our manufacturing plants hit their timelines and budgets.

~~**This is an IC Role ~~

**Where you'll work **

We are an in-office culture — velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure, and the best decisions happen in the room. This role is ideally based in our **Houston ** plant location, with full-time onsite expectations outside of bi-weekly WFH Fridays.

**Responsibilities **

- Own the Purchase Order process from issuance through delivery

- Generate requests for quotation (RFQ) with material suppliers for manufacturing

- Create and issue Purchase Orders to suppliers ensuring pricing and terms

- Track procurement timelines and proactively flag risks that could impact operations

- Follow up on delivery of all materials needed for manufacturing

- Partner with Order Managers and leadership to identify procurement needs for US Operations

- Identify, evaluate, and onboard vendors and suppliers across relevant categories

- Lead commercial negotiations to secure competitive pricing, favorable terms, and reliable delivery commitments

- Collaborate with finance on budget tracking, cost reporting, and forecasting

**Requirements **

- 4+ years of procurement or supply chain experience in manufacturing operations.

- Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain or Engineering preferred

- Strong understanding of material requirement planning and procurement for manufacturing

- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects and vendor relationships simultaneously

- Excellent communication skills with experience interfacing across engineering and operations teams in a manufacturing environment

**Bonus Points **

- Experience in transformer or switchboard manufacturing, familiarity with electrical infrastructure

- Experience with ERP/MRP systems (SAP, Oracle, Dynamics365, NetSuite, etc.)

- Experience with establishing a vendor network from the ground up

**Benefits **

- Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance

- Equity (options) in a rapidly growing startup

- 401(k) with 4% employer match

- Unlimited PTO

- Parental leave

- Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA)

- Commuter benefits

- Monthly team onsites where all offices come in-person to collaborate

**Who We Hire **

We don't use "A-player" loosely. Here's what it actually means at Giga:

**Antifragile. ** You don't just survive chaos, you get better because of it. When things break, change, or move sideways, you don't freeze. You adapt faster than the problem evolves.

**High Agency. ** You don't wait to be told what to do. You see the gap, you fill it. If something is blocking progress, you find a way around it, over it, or through it without asking for permission.

**Executors. ** Ideas are cheap. We hire people who ship. You're the person who turns a whiteboard sketch into something real while everyone else is still scheduling the next meeting about it.

**Bias to Action. ** Perfect is the enemy of done. You'd rather make a decision with 80% of the information and course correct than sit around waiting for 100% that never comes.

**Speed. **We move fast because the opportunity demands it. You're not reckless, but you understand that in this industry, the team that moves fastest wins. And you like winning.

**Equal Opportunity Employer Statement **
