Job description

Job Type: Full-time | Location: San Francisco | Department: Procurement | Reporting to: VP, AI Infrastructure Supply Chain | Work Location Type: #hybrid IREN is a vertically integrated AI Cloud provider, delivering large-scale data centers and GPU clusters for AI training and inference. IREN’s platform is underpinned by its expansive portfolio of grid-connected land and power in renewable-rich regions across North America, Europe and APAC. With 100% renewable energy, we build, own and operate our data centers and take pride in being at the forefront of sustainable solutions for the ever-evolving applications of high-performance compute. We believe that human progress is invaluable, but it should be done in the right way – responsibly, sustainably and having a positive impact on the communities we operate in. The Senior Director, AI Infrastructure Integrated Planning leads end-to-end capacity and Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) for IREN’s AI Cloud data centers, integrating demand forecasts, GPU/server and all rack-level hardware supply, into a single, coordinated plan. Reporting to the VP, AI Infrastructure Supply Chain, this leader partners closely with Operations, Technical Sourcing, Engineering, Commercial, and Finance teams to translate customer demand and capital plans into region- and site-level capacity plans, hardware ramp schedules, and deployment timelines that scale AI Cloud and colocation infrastructure reliably and cost-effectively, with planning that extends from system-level capacity down through the full hardware bill of materials to critical components and their suppliers. Job Requirements: • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Operations, Engineering, Business, or a related field; MBA or advanced degree preferred. • 15+ years of progressive experience in data center capacity planning, supply chain planning, or infrastructure planning, including 5+ years in a senior leadership role, ideally at a hyperscaler, cloud provider, or AI infrastructure company. • Deep knowledge of GPU/compute/network/storage hardware lifecycles, lead times, and ramp planning and forecasting. • Experience planning and forecasting below the system/rack level to critical components (e.g., memory/HBM, GPU accelerators, networking silicon), including managing supplier-level demand forecasts, allocations, and commitments across multiple tiers of the supply base. • Proven track record building and running integrated capacity/S&OP processes that connect demand forecasting, region- and site-level capacity plans, and capital expenditure (capex) approval cycles in a fast-growing, capital-intensive environment. • Hands-on experience with capacity planning and DCIM tools/platforms (e.g., Kinaxis, o9, SAP IBP, DCIM systems) and strong SQL/analytics skills for scenario modeling and KPI reporting. • Strong executive presence and cross-functional leadership skills, with a track record presenting integrated capacity plans, risk, and trade-offs to senior leadership and the executive team. • Must be able to reliably commute to the assigned office location on scheduled in-office days under the hybrid work arrangement. • This role involves frequent travel to data center and supplier sites. IREN does not yet have an office in the Bay Area (a Santa Clara office is planned); until it opens, this role will work remotely, transitioning to hybrid on-site work once the office is established. Job Responsibilities: • Drive Run-the-Business (RTB) centralized procurement operations across both direct and indirect spend, bridging operational execution with technical engineering, demand planning, and corporate finance. • Streamline and govern the Purchase Requisition-to-Purchase Order (PR-to-PO) pipeline and Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) to minimize cycle times, enforce buying policy, and ensure purchasing compliance. • Execute Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) and vendor governance for extended workforce partners and indirect service providers, applying the risk framework and SLA standards set by Strategy and Transformation to ensure compliance and mitigate risk. • Own supplier onboarding and enable Accounts Payable by ensuring complete, policy-aligned supplier and purchase records that support accurate invoice matching and payment. • Operate and continuously improve the procurement systems and tooling (P2P, CLM, automated tracking) within the systems strategy set by Strategy and Transformation, ensuring accurate data flow and seamless user adoption while championing GenAI-enabled workflows and automation to eliminate manual overhead and accelerate operational throughput. • Drive cost optimization and cost avoidance across business operations and indirect procurement spend. • Oversee indirect procurement operations across critical non-BOM categories, including contingent workforce, engineering services, specialized construction tools, and software licensing. • Operate reporting and dashboards against the KPI framework set by Strategy and Transformation and lead Monthly (MBR) and Quarterly (QBR/EBR) Business Reviews with senior leadership on spend compliance, operational health, SLA performance, and budget variances. • Recruit, mentor, and scale a team of supply chain operations managers and program managers, cultivating an agile, data-driven culture of operational excellence and cross-functional partnership across global regions. • Must be able to reliably commute to the assigned office location on scheduled in-office days under the hybrid work arrangement. • This role may involve periodic travel to supplier and vendor sites, data centers, and industry events. IREN does not yet have an office in the Bay Area but one is planned. Until it opens, this role will work remotely, transitioning to hybrid on-site work once the office is established. Job Benefits: • Salary range (for San Francisco, California location) : USD $300,000 - 375,000/annum, depending on experience • Short-term and Long-term Incentive Programs • Health Insurance, Disability Insurance, Life Insurance, Vision care & Dental care • 401k Retirement Plan We value diverse perspectives and believe that skills can be developed.
