About The Role

Nscale is seeking a Vice President, Supply Chain Operations to lead the physical execution engine of our AI infrastructure deployment strategy.

This executive leader is accountable for ensuring compute racks, GPU clusters, networking fabric, and power/cooling infrastructure are received, integrated, staged, and deployed into data centers on time and at scale.

In addition, this role serves as the enterprise Lean Process Leader for the Supply Chain organization — driving operational discipline, eliminating waste, reducing deployment cycle time, and building a scalable hyperscale operating model.

This position translates supply plans into operational reality — with precision, speed, and continuous improvement — ensuring Nscale scales efficiently, predictably, and repeatably.

• Drive milestone adherence, deployment tracking, and executive-level readiness visibility.
• Oversee global inbound logistics strategy and regional hub optimization to minimize dwell time and cost.
• Ensure disciplined GPU handling, configuration accuracy, and quality control across manufacturing and integration partners.
• Balance deployment speed with working capital efficiency, optimizing inventory strategy and constrained component allocation.
• Lead structured response to supply disruptions, shortages, and deployment risks, escalating appropriately at executive level.
• Establish and drive Lean Supply Chain principles across planning, procurement, integration, and deployment workflows.
• Standardize global deployment playbooks and implement performance dashboards that reduce cycle time, waste, and cost per deployed MW.
• Build a scalable, repeatable operating model capable of supporting 3–5x MW growth.
