Procurement Lead

VESSL is building the specialized AI cloud for the teams pushing AI forward: frontier labs, physical AI companies, and research institutions. In the US, demand is outrunning the capacity we can stand up. In a GPU cloud business, the constraint is rarely the customer. It is power, space, hardware, and the capital to bring them together on time.

This role exists to remove that constraint. You will lead all US procurement for VESSL: where capacity comes from, how it is financed, which vendors earn our trust, and when it comes online.

As the first hire on our US Supply team, you will run each deal yourself end to end: finding the right partners, closing the deal, overseeing delivery, and running the contract after signing. As volume grows, you will build the team that takes it to scale.

You sit in our global Supply function, reporting to our Chief Strategy Officer, who leads supply globally. Based in our US office, you will partner closely with our global supply team, US sales, product, infrastructure, and finance.

SOURCE AND SECURE SUPPLY

• Map the US data center value chain end to end: energy and power, data center developers and operators, OEMs and hardware partners, and the capital backers behind them
• Source new capacity and onboard new supply partners
• Verify offered capacity and delivery timelines before anything moves to negotiation
• Build relationships that give VESSL first look at capacity before it reaches the open market
• Own US capacity milestones: the right GPUs, in the right sites, on the timeline our customers and roadmap require
