About the Team

The Procurement Operations & MEP Delivery function sits at the center of CoreWeave’s owner-furnished, contractor-installed (OFCI) supply chain. The team makes sure critical mechanical, electrical, and power infrastructure is delivered safely, on time, and to specification across a rapidly scaling global data center portfolio. It works closely with Strategic Sourcing, PMO, Engineering, Finance, and site teams to drive execution excellence and manage risk across long-lead, high-value equipment.

As the Procurement Operations & MEP Delivery Manager, you will own end-to-end execution from purchase order issuance through equipment delivery, installation readiness, and after-sales support. You will be accountable for supplier performance, data integrity, and issue resolution across multi-million-dollar MEP assets. You will establish repeatable processes, enforce governance standards, and act as the operational first line of defense against schedule, cost, and quality risk. Success in this role requires strong supplier engagement, disciplined execution, and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving, high-stakes environment.

Key Responsibilities:

Supplier Management: Work with sourcing teams on supplier onboarding, qualification, and performance reviews. Lead supplier improvement initiatives and ensure adherence to CoreWeave’s standards.

Risk Frameworks: Develop risk- and metrics-driven frameworks covering financial, commercial, reputational, and operational exposure.

Procure-to-Delivery Oversight: Oversee execution from PO issuance through equipment delivery, keeping it aligned with schedule and budget. Maintain visibility on deliverables and provide executive reporting that enables rapid decision-making.

Escalation Management: Manage post-contract escalations involving manufacturing, logistics, and installation readiness. Resolve daily operational roadblocks, such as shipping damage, missing components, or documentation gaps, without compromising project timelines.

Master Data Management: Maintain the accuracy of the Procurement Tracking Matrix (PTM), making sure every PO, change order, and delivery date is reflected in real time in the ERP and project management systems.

Digital Workflow Execution: Use AI-powered tools and automated dashboards to deliver weekly “At-Risk” reports to the PMO Manager that flag potential schedule slips before they affect the critical path.

Performance Analytics: Track and report on MEP supplier KPIs, including On-Time Delivery (OTD) and First-Pass Quality upon site receipt.

Standardization: Enforce use of the PMO Playbook across all project sites for a consistent approach to receipting, inspection (FAT/SAT), and warranty activation.

Financial Alignment: Review and validate supplier milestone invoices against physical progress so Finance pays only for verified work and delivery.

After-Sales Support: Support sites after delivery, making sure warranty, maintenance, and service obligations are met. Coordinate spare parts, service contracts, and supplier accountability for ongoing performance.

Field-to-Procurement Feedback: Run feedback loops so lessons learned about equipment quality and shipping methods are built into future RFPs.

Qualifications:

7–10+ years of experience in procurement, supply chain, or operations supporting large-scale infrastructure, industrial, or data center projects.

Demonstrated experience managing long-lead MEP equipment (e.g., generators, switchgear, chillers, transformers).

Proven ability to build and manage procurement metrics, dashboards, and reporting systems.

Strong track record of supplier performance management and risk mitigation.

Experience working cross-functionally with sourcing, PMO, engineering, finance, and construction teams.

Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Procurement, Business, Engineering, or Construction Management.

Preferred Skills:

Experience supporting hyperscale or AI-focused data center deployments.

Familiarity with ERP systems and digital procurement workflows.

Experience operating in global or multi-region supply chains.

Experience scaling procurement and supply chain operations in hyper-growth environments.

Systems thinking applied to complex, cross-functional challenges, connecting procurement, suppliers, data, and execution to drive predictable outcomes.
