Compensation: $140,000 – $180,000 Base + 20–25% Bonus + Equity
About the Opportunity
LHH is partnering with a rapidly scaling infrastructure developer building next-generation, high-performance data center campuses across North America. With significant capital deployment underway, the organization is expanding its procurement function to support active construction in New York.
This is a front-line, execution-focused role embedded directly with construction and development teams—owning procurement activities that directly impact project delivery, schedule, and cost.
If you’re looking to move beyond strategy and into a role where you control real spend, real vendors, and real outcomes, this is a high-impact seat.
The Role
The Senior Procurement Manager will serve as the on-site procurement lead, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement across large-scale capital projects.
This includes:
- Sourcing and contracting for contractors, subcontractors, and critical equipment
- Purchase order issuance and lifecycle management
- Vendor onboarding, compliance, and performance tracking
- Delivery coordination and long-lead item management
- Supporting commercial negotiations and cost analysis
- Maintaining procurement governance, documentation, and ERP execution
You will operate as a key partner to Construction, Development, Finance, and Operations, ensuring procurement execution aligns with aggressive build schedules.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead day-to-day procurement execution across active construction projects
- Manage competitive sourcing events (RFPs/RFQs) and supplier evaluations
- Own vendor coordination, onboarding, and compliance tracking (COIs, documentation)
- Identify and mitigate long-lead risks impacting project timelines
- Ensure accuracy across purchase orders, contracts, and change orders
- Track procurement activity against budgets and project milestones
- Support ERP purchasing workflows, data integrity, and process improvements
- Escalate commercial, financial, and delivery risks with clarity and urgency
What Success Looks Like
- Becomes the go-to procurement partner for on-site construction teams
- Executes procurement with speed, accuracy, and minimal oversight
- Proactively identifies risks before they impact the schedule or cost
- Maintains clean, audit-ready procurement operations
- Drives accountability across vendors and internal stakeholders
Qualifications
- 5–10+ years of procurement experience in construction, infrastructure, or capital projects
- Proven track record in managing large, complex contracts and equipment sourcing
- Experience working directly with project teams in fast-paced environments
- Strong understanding of construction contract models (GMP, Lump Sum, T&M, etc.)
- Hands-on experience with ERP procurement systems and purchasing workflows
- Ability to manage competing priorities while maintaining execution quality
Preferred Experience
- Data center, mission-critical, or industrial project exposure
- Experience supporting EPC contractors or large-scale infrastructure builds
- ERP implementation or process improvement involvement
- Professional certifications (CPSM, CIPS, etc.)
Why This Role
- Direct ownership of procurement for high-value, high-visibility projects
- Opportunity to work alongside construction leadership in a rapid build environment
- Exposure to one of the fastest-growing sectors in infrastructure development
- Clear impact on project success, not buried in corporate procurement layers
Work Environment
- Based in New York, NY (in-office, highly collaborative environment)
- Limited travel required (<10%)
