We are proud to offer interesting and challenging opportunities for individuals who want to build teams, solve problems, and make an impact from day one. If you’re an ambitious individual looking for a career that is as rewarding as it is challenging, you’ve come to the right place.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Director of Supply Chain will be responsible for designing, leading, and optimizing a fully integrated supply chain that supports the rapid delivery of large-scale data center infrastructure. This leader will oversee the full lifecycle of mechanical and electrical equipment - from defining specifications and evaluating build—buy-partner options to sourcing, contracting, and ensuring on-time delivery of long-lead, power-intensive components. They will shape early engineering and design decisions, build strategic supplier and manufacturer partnerships, and develop standards that improve constructability, cost, and schedule performance across projects. This means shaping upstream design decisions, evaluating build-vs-buy strategies, and driving vertical integration opportunities across our full range of mechanical and electrical systems.

This role serves as the bridge between engineering, design, and construction, ensuring every project is commercially sound, technically feasible, and ready for execution. Responsibilities include developing vendor partnership strategies, managing budgets, forecasting supply chain risks, driving vertical integration opportunities, coordinating contractor and vendor engagement, and translating project requirements into clear scopes, schedules, and logistical plans. The Director must blend sound technical understanding of infrastructure systems with strong commercial judgment, bringing a builder’s mindset to create efficient processes, predictable equipment pipelines, and supply chain capabilities that will drive Hut 8’s durable competitive advantage.

Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following:

Oversee the full lifecycle of mechanical and electrical equipment, from specifications to sourcing to delivery
Influence design and engineering decisions by bringing supply chain and equipment insights early into the process
Evaluate what components should be built in-house vs. outsourced
Identify opportunities for vertical integration or strategic partnerships
Review designs for constructability, availability, lead times, and total cost
Work with suppliers and manufacturers to ensure they meet our technical standards and timelines
Develop and maintain equipment standards, documentation, and qualification processes
Help design efficient logistics, material flow, and inventory plans that support fast build schedules
Troubleshoot supply chain risks and equipment bottlenecks before they impact the field
Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure builds stay on schedule
