• Facilities maintenance and infrastructure services (electrical, mechanical, HVAC)
• Site services (security, janitorial, landscaping, food services)
• CAPEX equipment installation and infrastructure services

Must Have

• 5+ years of experience in global supply management, strategic sourcing, procurement, or supply chain
• Demonstrated depth in facilities, construction, infrastructure services, or CAPEX-related sourcing
• Proven ability to own sourcing end-to-end (strategy, supplier selection, negotiation, and contract execution)
• Strong commercial and negotiation skills
• Experience partnering with technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Comfort operating in fast-paced, ambiguous, startup-style environments
