The Director, Regional Project Procurement leads tactical, project-level procurement execution across the company's U.S. data center construction portfolio. Reporting to the Vice President, Data Center Procurement, this role owns the on-the-ground purchasing engine that translates category strategies and master agreements into site-ready materials and services: issuing purchase orders, managing regional supplier relationships, resolving field procurement issues in real time, driving day-to-day buying discipline across multiple concurrent construction projects, and reporting procurement status across projects to key stakeholders.

• Lead all tactical (PO-level) procurement activity for assigned regions/projects, converting approved category strategies and master supply agreements into timely purchase orders.
• Own the buy-to-delivery cycle for construction materials, equipment, and site services, ensuring purchase orders align with construction schedules, budgets, and specifications.
• Manage day-to-day supplier communication for order confirmation, order changes, expediting, and issue resolution at the project and site level.
• Establish and enforce standardized tactical procurement processes, approval workflows, and PO governance across all regional teams.
• Drive resolution of field procurement escalations (material shortages, quality issues, delivery delays) in partnership with construction, engineering, and logistics teams.

• Build and maintain regional supplier relationships for trade contractors, equipment vendors, and local/regional material suppliers supporting active builds.
• Monitor regional supplier performance (on-time delivery, quality, responsiveness) and drive corrective action plans where performance falls short.
• Support project-level bid packages, quote comparisons, and award recommendations for regionally sourced scopes of work and materials.
• Partner with Strategic Sourcing/Category Management to provide field-level market intelligence and supplier feedback that informs national category strategy and master agreements.
• Manage regional procurement budgets and track project-level spend against approved project budgets, flagging variances early.

• Partner closely with Construction Project Managers and Site Superintendents to align procurement activities with construction sequencing and critical-path milestones.
• Collaborate with Warehousing, Inventory Control, and Logistics teams to ensure tactical purchase orders translate into on-time, on-site material delivery.
• Work with Legal and Contracts teams to execute purchase orders and short-form agreements within approved contract terms and delegation-of-authority limits.
• Provide regular reporting to the VP, Data Center Procurement on regional procurement status, risks, spend, and schedule impacts across the project portfolio.
• Own the procurement input into recurring project governance forums for each assigned project — including weekly management reviews, EPC/owner-contractor meetings, and project status presentations — covering material and equipment delivery status, long-lead item tracking, open escalations, and cost/schedule impacts.
• Consolidate project-level inputs from Regional Project Procurement Managers, site buyers, and…
