The team works across engineering, product, operations, legal, finance, and the global supply base to secure the hardware, systems, and infrastructure required to scale CoreWeave’s data center deployments.</p> <h2 class="wnfdnti _1ibi0s33y _1ibi0s34u">About the Role:</h2> <p class="wnfdntu _1ibi0s3f5 _1ibi0s3ce _1ibi0s3ea">As a Staff Technical Sourcing Manager, you will serve as the primary commercial lead for a portfolio of hardware technologies, systems, or infrastructure categories powering our data center deployments. You will own the end-to-end sourcing strategy for your area—from technology and supplier selection through negotiation, contracting, ramp, and lifecycle management—and build the supply resilience needed to scale reliably in a market where capacity is scarce and lead times are long. This role sits at the intersection of engineering and commercial strategy, requiring you to shape technical requirements and influence supplier roadmaps before designs are locked. Leveraging deep industry knowledge and executive-level supplier relationships, you will optimize total cost of ownership across our rapidly expanding global infrastructure, where a change to a single component or system can move the economics of an entire fleet.</p> <p class="wnfdntu _1ibi0s3f5 _1ibi0s3ce _1ibi0s3ea">In this role, you will:</p> <ul> <li class="wnfdntu _1ibi0s3f5 _1ibi0s3ce _1ibi0s3ea">Develop, implement, and continuously refine comprehensive sourcing strategies and multi-generation roadmaps for your assigned portfolio, aligning supply capability to business growth and technology direction.</li> <li class="wnfdntu _1ibi0s3f5 _1ibi0s3ce _1ibi0s3ea">Maintain a deep pulse on emerging technologies, supply and demand dynamics, capacity investment, and industry trends.
