About Vantage Data Centers
Vantage is dedicated to fostering a workplace characterized by inclusion, equity, respect, and acceptance. We celebrate diversity and actively seek opportunities to learn from each other's experiences.
Vantage Data Centers powers, cools, protects, and connects the technology of the world's leading hyperscalers, cloud providers, and large enterprises. Operating across North America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific, Vantage has transformed data center design in innovative ways to achieve significant improvements in reliability, efficiency, and sustainability within adaptable environments that can scale in response to market demands.
Procurement Department
The Procurement team is responsible for managing the delivery of data centers from initial conception through to commissioning, collaborating closely with Sales, Operations, Development, and Engineering. The Construction team also partners with contractors to create a vertically integrated design and oversees these partners to ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget.
Unlike many companies where such roles are purely oversight, Vantage empowers its technical staff with the responsibility and authority to directly influence the process. This internal alignment allows for a focus on long-term operational sustainability alongside value engineering and cost metrics, ensuring that products align with corporate objectives. This approach enables each team member to make high-impact decisions that lead to significant results.
Position Overview
The Vice President of Procurement is tasked with leading all facets of the procurement processes and implementing enabling tools and procedures to ensure consistency across all regions. The VP will oversee a team of regional leaders and manage a total spend portfolio of approximately $5B, which is rapidly expanding. As the VP of Procurement, you will be responsible for supporting the deployment of tools that may include CLM, TPRM, and other technologies that accelerate and facilitate business growth.
This role will encompass all aspects of corporate procurement and serve as the primary point of contact to enable regional and corporate metrics while enhancing the agility necessary to support business growth. The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong leadership capabilities, critical thinking, superior negotiation skills, excellent financial acumen, and exceptional communication abilities.

- Ensure all procurement activities comply with laws, regulations, and company policies, promoting ethical practices in all endeavors.
- Perform additional duties as assigned by Management.
