You work primarily with Data Center Operations while also managing services contracts across Construction, Technology, and EHS departments.
What you'll do
- Partner with Operations leadership, site teams, and project teams to define service, maintenance, and spares requirements for each campus from pre-turnover through steady-state operations.
- Develop category and sourcing strategies for recurring operations and services spend that balance uptime risk, cost drivers, service coverage, and supplier capacity across a multi-site, mission-critical portfolio.
- Translate maintenance programs, OEM requirements, and stakeholder needs into clear scopes of work, service levels, rate structures, and procurement schedules.
- Maintain an annual sourcing and renewal calendar covering contract expirations, re-bids, and service onboarding for new sites.
- Lead vendor prequalification including safety, insurance, and financial review; conduct competitive sourcing events; and drive formal RFP/RFQ development for operations and services categories.
- Manage bid processes, analyze commercial and technical proposals, and perform total cost of ownership evaluations across the full contract term.
- Negotiate pricing, rate cards, escalation mechanisms, service levels, risk allocations, and commercial terms that support operational objectives.
- Consolidate demand across sites and departments into regional or national master agreements where it improves cost, coverage, and quality.
- Prepare award recommendations and decision-support materials for leadership review.
- Support drafting and negotiation of master service agreements (MSAs), statements of work (SOWs), and service agreements in partnership with Legal and stakeholders.
- Create and manage purchase orders, change orders, contract amendments, and renewals throughout the contract lifecycle.
- Ensure contractual requirements align with scopes of work, service levels, budget assumptions, and service receipting requirements.
- Transition executed agreements to stakeholder owners with a complete hand-off package including scope, rates, service levels, escalation paths, and renewal dates while retaining ownership of commercial terms and escalations.
- Establish and track service-level agreements (SLAs) and KPIs such as response time, preventive maintenance completion, incident trends, and invoice accuracy; lead quarterly business reviews with key suppliers.
- Track supplier capacity, skilled labor availability, and regional coverage as Galaxy enters new geographies and develop early-warning risk mitigation strategies.
- Support supplier onboarding including safety prequalification, certificates of insurance, and site access requirements; performance evaluation; issue resolution; and corrective action plans.
- Partner with the OFCI Procurement Managers on construction-to-operations transitions, including warranty start dates, OEM service hand-offs, and critical spares.
- Build and maintain strong supplier relationships, including local and diverse suppliers in new markets.
- Maintain accurate procurement documentation, contract and renewal trackers, spend logs, supplier scorecards, and risk registers.
- Prepare recurring reporting on operating spend, savings, supplier performance, market trends, and upcoming renewals.
- Ensure compliance with Galaxy's procure-to-pay policies, internal controls, and audit requirements, including receipting and invoice validation for services.
- Contribute to continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to improve procurement processes and deliver results better, faster, and more efficiently.
