Procurement Manager

As Procurement Manager, you own the full procurement lifecycle across Giga's Project portfolio. You'll work directly with project owners to understand what needs to be sourced at every stage, identify and qualify vendors, negotiate competitive terms, and ensure materials and equipment arrive on time. This is a hands-on, high-visibility role that sits at the intersection of operations, finance, and project execution — and the person in it will have a direct impact on whether our projects hit their timelines and budgets.

We are an in-office culture — velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure, and the best decisions happen in the room. This role is ideally based in our San Francisco, Long Beach, or Houston offices, with full-time onsite expectations outside of bi-weekly WFH Fridays.

That said, we will make exceptions for truly exceptional talent if you live outside one of our hubs. If you're the right person for this role, we'll have a conversation about what works.
