Procurement Manager, Products

Giga Energy • Full-time • Houston, Texas, United States • 6d ago

Why Join Giga

The Pace: We're building at a speed most companies talk about but never actually operate at. If you've been bored somewhere else, you won't be here.
The Impact: Every person at Giga touches the work that matters. No layers, no waiting for approval chains. You'll see your fingerprints on what we ship.
The Team: A team of operators defining the future of AI infrastructure. We recruit A-players from the most innovative companies in the world, and they choose Giga because the work here means more.
The Moment: AI doesn't run without power, and that's us. Giga is the picks and shovels behind the AI revolution. This industry is about to explode, and you'll be in the room where it's already happening.

What you'll do

As Procurement Manager, you own the full procurement lifecycle across Giga's manufacturing operations. You'll work directly with operations team members to understand what needs to be sourced at every stage, identify and qualify vendors, negotiate competitive terms, and ensure materials arrive on time. This is a hands-on, high-visibility role that sits at the intersection of supply chain, operations, and order management— and the person in it will have a direct impact on whether our manufacturing plants hit their timelines and budgets.

**This is an IC Role

Where you'll work

We are an in-office culture — velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure, and the best decisions happen in the room. This role is ideally based in our Houston plant location, with full-time onsite expectations outside of bi-weekly WFH Fridays.

Responsibilities

Own the Purchase Order process from issuance through delivery
Generate requests for quotation (RFQ) with material suppliers for manufacturing
Create and issue Purchase Orders to suppliers ensuring pricing and terms
Track procurement timelines and proactively flag risks that could impact operations
Follow up on delivery of all materials needed for manufacturing
Partner with Order Managers and leadership to identify procurement needs for US Operations
Identify, evaluate, and onboard vendors and suppliers across relevant categories
Lead commercial negotiations to secure competitive pricing, favorable terms, and reliable delivery commitments
Collaborate with finance on budget tracking, cost reporting, and forecasting

Requirements

4+ years of procurement or supply chain experience in manufacturing operations.
Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain or Engineering preferred
Strong understanding of material requirement planning and procurement for manufacturing
Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects and vendor relationships simultaneously
Excellent communication skills with experience interfacing across engineering and operations teams in a manufacturing environment

Bonus Points

Experience in transformer or switchboard manufacturing, familiarity with electrical infrastructure
Experience with ERP/MRP systems (SAP, Oracle, Dynamics365, NetSuite, etc.)
Experience with establishing a vendor network from the ground up

Benefits

Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance
Equity (options) in a rapidly growing startup
401(k) with 4% employer match
Unlimited PTO
Parental leave
Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA)
Commuter benefits
Monthly team onsites where all offices come in-person to collaborate

Who We Hire

We don't use "A-player" loosely. Here's what it actually means at Giga:

Antifragile. You don't just survive chaos, you get better because of it. When things break, change, or move sideways, you don't freeze. You adapt faster than the problem evolves.

High Agency. You don't wait to be told what to do. You see the gap, you fill it. If something is blocking progress, you find a way around it, over it, or through it without asking for permission.

Executors. Ideas are cheap. We hire people who ship. You're the person who turns a whiteboard sketch into something real while everyone else is still scheduling the next meeting about it.

Bias to Action. Perfect is the enemy of done. You'd rather make a decision with 80% of the information and course correct than sit around waiting for 100% that never comes.

Speed. We move fast because the opportunity demands it. You're not reckless, but you understand that in this industry, the team that moves fastest wins. And you like winning.

Equal Opportunity Employer Statement

Giga Energy is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace. We do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic as outlined by federal, state, or local laws.
