Job Description

About the Team:

The Facilities team ensures that every operation across the site is "go" at all times, supporting everything from power and utilities to highly specialized machines like industrial 3D printers. Our 1 million square foot headquarters is complex: one structure, but functionally 20 mini factories under one roof. That complexity brings unmatched opportunities to grow your skills through cross-training and ownership of specialized systems. With rapid expansion and development of the facility, we're helping build a truly state-of-the-art work environment. This team is deeply embedded in both planning and execution, brought in early to shape the physical assets that will support scaled operations.

About the Role:

  • Own the procurement and supply chain of industrial gases (LN₂, Argon, Air, etc.) critical to manufacturing and facilities operations

  • Develop sourcing strategies, negotiate contracts, and manage supplier relationships to ensure cost efficiency and reliability

  • Monitor usage, forecast demand, and implement tracking systems to drive visibility and accountability

  • Partner with Engineering, Facilities, and EH&S teams to align gas supply with technical and safety requirements

  • Identify process improvements that reduce risk, minimize waste, and strengthen supply assurance

About You:

  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 3+ years of experience in procurement, commodity management, or supply chain operations
  • Strong negotiation, vendor management, and contract administration skills
  • Familiarity with industrial or specialty gases, cryogenics, or other technical commodities
  • Proven ability to analyze usage data, forecast demand, and drive cost savings
  • Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills

Nice to haves but not required:

  • Experience sourcing or managing industrial gases, cryogenics, or other technical commodities in aerospace, semiconductor, or biotech industries

  • Knowledge of EH&S regulations, OSHA standards, and safe handling requirements for compressed or cryogenic gases

  • Background in supplier relationship management (SRM) and developing long-term strategic vendor partnerships

  • Familiarity with ERP/MRP or procurement systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Coupa)

  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to model usage, optimize logistics, and identify cost-saving opportunities

  • Technical background or hands-on exposure to facilities, MEP systems, or industrial gas distribution systems
