Asset Manager, Supply Chain

Crusoe · Data AI · San Francisco, CA - US · Procurement and Sourcing

This role is for an Asset Manager focused on IT Asset Management (ITAM) and hardware lifecycle management within data center deployments. The primary responsibilities include tracking hardware from procurement to disposal, managing software licenses and support contracts, maintaining Bill of Materials (BOMs), planning for End-of-Life (EOL) assets, and ensuring inventory accuracy. The role requires strong analytical and organizational skills, technical familiarity with data center infrastructure, and experience with ITAM tools and ERP systems. While the company operates in the AI infrastructure space, this specific role is not directly involved in building or researching AI models.

What you'd actually do

  1. Manage the end-to-end lifecycle of critical data center infrastructure, tracking hardware from initial procurement and deployment through to decommissioning and disposal.
  2. Proactively track, forecast, and manage all software licensing, firmware subscriptions, and hardware support contracts. Ensure zero lapses in coverage by monitoring when switches, optics, and other hardware components are approaching end of license or support renewal.
  3. Maintain highly accurate, granular records of complex Bill of Materials (BOMs) specific to Crusoe's deployments, with a heavy focus on high-performance compute (servers, GPUs), networking gear (switches, routers, optical transceivers), and enterprise storage systems.
  4. Monitor hardware and software lifecycles to identify assets approaching End-of-Support (EOS) or End-of-Life (EOL), coordinating closely with engineering and supply chain teams to plan refreshes and replacements.
  5. Oversee the reconciliation of physical and logical inventory. Conduct regular audits of data center assets to ensure the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) and ERP systems are flawlessly accurate.
