Staff Technical Program Manager, Data Center Supply Chain at Cerebras · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

Cerebras is seeking a Staff Technical Program Manager to lead supply chain readiness programs for data center expansion. You will connect capacity and deployment plans with the equipment, supplier commitments, and logistics needed to bring new infrastructure online. Working with procurement, engineering, manufacturing, finance, construction, and deployment teams, you will create an integrated view of demand, supply, and site readiness.
Translate approved site and capacity plans into time-phased equipment requirements, working with engineering to confirm specifications, bills of materials, quantities, and need-by dates.
Build and maintain integrated supply plans across critical electrical and cooling equipment, racks, networking, and supporting infrastructure; align supplier schedules with site milestones.
Partner with procurement and suppliers to validate lead times, production capacity, order status, factory readiness, and delivery commitments; surface gaps before they affect deployment.
Lead recurring demand and supply reviews; reconcile changes in site schedules, engineering configurations, inventory, and purchase commitments with program and finance partners.
Drive mitigation of shortages, quality issues, and supplier delays through recovery plans, allocation recommendations, alternate sourcing, and engineering-approved substitutions.
Coordinate logistics and delivery readiness with suppliers, integrators, construction, and site teams, including shipping, receiving, storage, installation sequencing, and international dependencies.
Establish program reporting for equipment readiness, on-time delivery, shortages, forecast changes, inventory exposure, and cost impacts; present decisions and escalations to leadership.
Improve supply chain execution through common readiness checkpoints, supplier reviews, change control, and lessons learned, balancing delivery speed with quality, cost, and inventory risk.
