## About the role

You own matching demand and supply at every level of Crux’s stack — data center, chips, racks, and networking, by location and by customer — so that Crux meets its customer commitments and grows profitably. Manage a multi-echelon inventory with right-sized buffers, optimized against business goals to hedge both demand and supply uncertainty while respecting lead times and other business constraints.

## What they're looking for

- 8–10+ years in demand/supply, capacity, or integrated business planning for cloud, data center, hardware, or other capital-intensive infrastructure
- Built forecasting, inventory optimization, and replenishment systems that reconciled sales forecasts, constrained supply, and long-lead-time physical assets, with the quantitative and modeling depth to do the work yourself
- Direct experience planning accelerated compute capacity — GPU or TPU fleets, cluster deployments, or AI infrastructure
- Familiarity with data center development timelines, power procurement, and site readiness milestones
- Background in operations research, supply chain optimization, or S&OP systems implementation in a fast-growing company
