Full job description

Imagine a future where everyone has instant, low-cost access to intelligence. We’re building a fully featured European AI cloud - with everything one needs to train, experiment with, and deploy AI models. In addition, our GPUs run on 100% renewable energy.

We’re ambitious, curious, and gutsy doers. We practice a low hierarchy across the company and high morale in our teams. We’ve already achieved a lot, yet we’re only getting started. Now it’s your chance to join the ride. We offer more than just the job - we offer a career-defining opportunity to be part of building something big!

Join Verda while it’s still being built - not once it’s finished.

Why Verda

Cash + equity compensation along with various fringe benefits (e.g., healthcare, lunch, wellbeing, etc.).
Profitable operations with rapid, sustained growth.
31 nationalities, with 6 different ones on the management team.
An opportunity with make a clear impact and work alongside world-class engineers, researchers, and partners across the global AI ecosystem.

Practicalities

On-site: Given the operational nature of the role on-site coordination, logistics, and hands-on procurement work, we expect full-time office presence 5 days a week. This isn't a remote or hybrid position.
Employment type: Full-time and permanent.

About the role

Verda has a data center in the UK and a hardware supply chain that spans Taiwan, Japan, the US, and Europe. The UK is one of our top-priority markets and the Senior Procurement Specialist here will own it independently, sourcing hardware, managing suppliers, coordinating logistics, and handling the commercial agreements that keep everything moving.

This is a role for someone who thrives with ownership. You'll be Verda's procurement presence in the UK, working closely with the central team in Finland while running UK operations with a high degree of independence. The expectation is that you bring the judgment and drive to make things happen locally and reach out when you need to, not because you have to.

What you'll do

Own end-to-end procurement for UK operations: sourcing components and servers, issuing RFQs, evaluating quotations, negotiating pricing, placing orders, and tracking delivery through to invoice reconciliation.
Define and execute sourcing strategies for key hardware categories, identifying the right vendors, developing new supplier relationships, and building the supply options that give Verda flexibility and competitive pricing.
Manage supplier relationships day-to-day: performance tracking, lead time management, issue escalation, and RMA coordination.
Coordinate inbound and outbound logistics for the UK data center, customs clearance, shipment tracking, and resolving delivery issues before they become operational problems.
Support CAPEX planning and procurement forecasting in close coordination with the Finland-based procurement team and Finance.
Review and manage procurement contracts and supply agreements, covering delivery terms, SLAs, liability, and price escalation, coordinating with Legal when escalation is needed.
Maintain accurate procurement documentation: purchase orders, invoices, contracts, and supplier records.
Develop new vendors and maintain a market view on hardware pricing, availability, and supply trends relevant to Verda's hardware categories.

What we're looking for

Required

5+ years in procurement, supply chain, or vendor management in a hardware, technology infrastructure, or data center environment.
Proven ability to run end-to-end procurement independently, from receiving a purchase request through to delivery confirmation and invoice reconciliation. You don't need a process to be handed to you.
Strong negotiation skills: you've negotiated hardware supply agreements, volume pricing, and delivery terms and can evidence the outcomes.
Comfortable with logistics coordination and international shipping, customs clearance, Incoterms, freight forwarding, and the practical reality of moving hardware across borders.
Able to review and manage commercial contracts without routing everything through Legal first — you understand what you're signing and what exposure it creates.
Given the operational nature of the role, on-site coordination, logistics, and hands-on procurement work. We expect full-time office presence five days a week. This isn't a remote or hybrid position.
Proficiency in both Mandarin and English.

Strong plus

Experience procuring GPU servers, AI accelerators, or data center infrastructure hardware. Familiarity with server ODMs and the supply dynamics of this market.
Understanding of Asian supply chains, ODM and OEM procurement from Taiwan, Japan, or mainland China, including lead time and allocation dynamics.
Experience in a scaling startup or high-growth environment where structure was still being built while work was being executed.
Additional languages relevant to our supply chain: Japanese, or a major European language.

What we offer

Full ownership of UK procurement — a real remit with direct impact on Verda's data center operations.
A lean, direct team where your decisions have immediate visibility and your work shows up in hardware going live.
The opportunity to build supplier relationships and sourcing strategies in one of Europe's most active data center markets.

What's next

We're building fast and this role needs the right person behind it. There's no artificial deadline, but when we find who we're looking for, we move. If this sounds like your next move, apply now.

Please submit your application through our Careers page. We don’t accept applications sent by email.
