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
