With a rapidly expanding global data center footprint, CoreWeave is consistently recognized for innovation and industry leadership.

As a Regional Inventory Control Manager, you will lead the inventory control program across a cluster of data centers and 1PL locations within your region. You will be accountable for regional inventory accuracy, discrepancy aging, audit readiness, and the performance and development of the Inventory Control Specialists (ICS) and site IC leads under your span.

You will turn standards and playbooks into day‑to‑day execution at sites, ensuring that serialized assets, spares, and project materials are controlled with hyperscaler‑grade rigor.

Core duties:

• Own regional inventory accuracy, discrepancy aging, and audit outcomes for Inventory Control.
• Lead, coach, and develop Inventory Control Specialists (ICS) and site IC leads across multiple data centers and 1PL locations.
• Standardize and enforce inventory control SOPs, cycle count programs, and reconciliation routines across your region.
• Partner with Data Center Operations, Global Logistics, Finance, and Security to ensure SOX‑ready controls, clean handoffs, and clear accountabilities.
• Use data and KPIs to identify gaps, drive corrective actions (RCA/CAPA), and deliver measurable improvements in control, speed, and quality.

About the Role

We are looking for a hands‑on regional manager who can move comfortably between the floor and leadership rooms. You will spend time with ICS teams at sites, in the systems (NetSuite, asset tools, WMS), and in reviews with DC Ops and Finance.

This is a people‑leadership role with regional scope and strong cross‑functional influence. You will shape how CoreWeave protects billions of dollars of assets, from initial receipt through their lifecycle in our data centers.

Team Leadership and Development

• Directly manage Inventory Control Specialists and/or Area IC Managers across your region.
• Own hiring, onboarding, training, and performance reviews for IC roles in your span.
• Build a strong IC culture around accuracy, documentation, safety, and cross‑functional partnership.
• Identify high‑potential ICs and develop them into leads/supervisors to improve span of control at large or complex sites.

Operational Execution and Standards

• Ensure consistent implementation of IC SOPs, policies, and MFCP/5S standards across all sites in your region.
• Monitor daily IC activities (receiving controls, tagging, binning, moves, cycle counts, RMAs, documentation) via system reports and site reviews.
• Partner with DC Ops leads to align work order consumption, spares flows, and floor‑ready material control with IC routines.

Inventory Control, Counts, and Reconciliation

• Own the regional cycle count and physical inventory schedule, making sure all required counts are executed on time and to standard.
• Review variance reports, drive investigation quality, and ensure discrepancies are closed within SLA (e.g., 7–14 days depending on severity).
• Ensure that NetSuite, asset systems, and any WMS reflect accurate, reconciled inventory positions across your sites.
• Coordinate with Finance and Audit on annual physicals, SOX testing, and remediation.

Governance, KPIs, and Continuous Improvement

• Define and manage regional IC KPIs, including:
• Inventory accuracy (by count and value)
• Discrepancy aging (median, P90)
• Investigation closure rate within SLA
• Audit findings (count, severity, and on‑time closure)
• Run regular regional IC reviews with DC Ops, Finance, and GLO leadership; publish KPI packs and action plans.
• Identify systemic issues (e.g., labeling, process gaps, tooling pain points) and lead regional improvement initiatives in partnership with the Global IC Program Manager and GLO.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Serve as the primary IC point of contact for your region with:
• Data Center Operations leadership
• Global Logistics (warehousing, transportation, 3PL / 1PL)
• Finance/Accounting and Audit
• Security and EHS, where IC touches physical controls
• Ensure clear RACI and escalation paths for IC issues (e.g., missing assets, documentation gaps, SOX concerns).

Qualifications

Must‑Have

• 7+ years in inventory control, asset management, or logistics/warehouse operations, with multi‑site or regional scope.
• Proven people leadership experience, managing IC, warehouse, or logistics teams (direct reports) across one or more sites.
• Deep understanding of serialized inventory control: cycle counts, physicals, reconciliations, discrepancy investigation, and documentation.
• Experience working in ERP and asset tools (e.g., NetSuite, Snipe‑IT or similar), with comfort pulling and interpreting operational reports.
• Demonstrated ability to read, interpret, and enforce SOPs and control frameworks (SOX or similar).
• Strong communication skills; able to align IC teams, DC Ops, Finance, and leadership around targets and corrective actions.
• Willingness and ability to travel frequently within your region.

Preferred

• Experience in data center, cloud, AI infrastructure, or other high‑value hardware environments.
• Familiarity with SOX §404 or other regulated inventory environments.
• Exposure to Lean, 5S, or continuous improvement methods in an operations context.
• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, Business, Industrial Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).

Tools and Systems

• ERP (e.g., NetSuite or similar) and asset management tools
• Cycle count and inventory reporting solutions
• Standard BI / reporting tools and office productivity suites

Wondering If You’re a Good Fit?

You might thrive in this role if:

• You care deeply about accuracy and controls, and you like seeing clean data match reality on the floor.
• You enjoy coaching site teams, visiting locations, and turning global standards into simple, repeatable routines.
• You are comfortable using data to tell a story, arguing for headcount or process change with facts, and then tracking outcomes over time.

Callibrity is based in Cincinnati, Ohio. This role is a full-time hourly, hybrid position and only candidates within commuting distance to Cincinnati will be considered. 

Callibrity is a developer owned and managed custom software development consulting company that is dedicated to creating quality software using modern technologies and adding unquestionable business value to companies across multiple industries and verticals. We are problem solvers...people who like a challenge and enjoy working with modern tech stacks. We offer an incredibly collaborative culture and enjoy solving complex problems with our clients. If you are looking for a company where you can grow in your career and that values people, transparency, and flexibility we would like to talk to you.

We’re seeking a Azure Cloud Architect. You will run a high-visibility Azure architecture review for one of Callibrity’s most established financial services clients. You own the technical direction of the assessment end to end — the questions we ask, the evidence we gather, the recommendations we make, and the story we tell. You will direct a Senior Cloud and Platform Engineer working alongside you, partner with a dedicated Service Delivery Manager, and serve as the client’s primary technical counterpart from kickoff through final presentation.

Success in this role is not measured by the length of the report. It is measured by whether senior leadership across infrastructure, development, security, risk, and finance read the same document and reach the same conclusions — and whether the resulting roadmap survives the client’s mid-summer budget cycle as a fundable, sequenced plan.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the discovery effort across all nine assessment domains, including stakeholder interviews with technical and business leaders and hands-on review of the client’s Azure tenant, network topology, identity configuration, IaC repositories, deployment paths, cost reporting, and security posture.
• Own the architectural point of view. Assess the current state against Azure Landing Zone guidance and the Well-Architected Framework, identify the foundational moves that unlock everything else, and decide where the report needs to push back versus where it should affirm the client’s existing direction.
• Author the prioritized recommendations and the phased roadmap. Tag each recommendation against the success criteria the client cares about (security, cost, resiliency, auditability, deployment ease, reduction of single-person dependencies), sequence the work with explicit dependency mapping, and make the sequencing logic legible to non-technical readers.
• Direct the Senior Cloud and Platform Engineer on the engagement. Frame the analysis, divide the work, review the output, and make sure the technical depth in the report holds up under scrutiny from the client’s engineers.
• Run the cadence of the engagement with the client: kickoff facilitation, weekly written status, the mid-Phase-2 draft-review working session, and the final presentation to leadership.
• Write the executive narrative. The leadership-ready summary is part of your deliverable, not a hand-off to someone else, and it has to read well to an audience outside technical engineering.

Requirements:

• Approximately 15 years of experience architecting, building, and operating complex software and infrastructure platforms, with substantial depth on Azure and meaningful exposure to hybrid and on-premises environments.
• A track record of guiding clients through full cloud transformation journeys — from initial assessment through landing-zone design, migration, and steady-state operations — not just a single phase of one.
• Deep, current expertise in Azure Landing Zone design, management group and subscription strategy, hub-and-spoke and Virtual WAN network topologies, ExpressRoute and VPN resiliency patterns, and private access and DNS integration.
• Strong command of identity architecture on Microsoft Entra ID, including Conditional Access, MFA enforcement, privileged-role design, PIM, Azure Policy coverage, and the practical realities of consolidating production Active Directory under Entra ID.
• Hands-on experience leading Infrastructure-as-Code at scale, with Terraform as a primary tool and working knowledge of Bicep and Azure Verified Modules. Familiarity with common Azure DevOps deployment patterns and what “code-driven, team-owned” looks like in practice.
• Demonstrated ability to translate technical findings into fundable, prioritized roadmaps that survive contact with finance, audit, and executive leadership.
• Direct experience delivering assessment work in regulated environments — financial services, insurance, or healthcare — and comfort operating inside the governance rhythms of a federally chartered or similarly regulated institution.
• Senior-presence communication: confident in front of a CIO and equally credible in a working session with the engineers who will operate what you recommend.

Preferred:

• Prior experience writing assessment reports that are read by mixed audiences — a report you can point to where the executive summary and the technical appendices both did their job.
• Microsoft certifications such as Azure Solutions Architect Expert or Cybersecurity Architect Expert.
• Experience standing up platform-engineering operating models that replaced ticket-driven infrastructure with self-service, code-driven golden paths.
• Familiarity with Azure-native cost-governance levers (Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, tagging enforcement, Microsoft Cost Management) and FinOps practice in regulated settings.

Benefits of Being a Callibrity Consultant:

• As a consultant, you’re trusted as an advisor — clients look to you not just for implementation, but for guidance, strategic thinking, and leadership.
• Work alongside strong engineering teams and modern technology stacks
• Competitive Hourly Pay
• Impactful Work: Help drive application best practices in a respected organization
• Highly collaborative, low-ego environment focused on problem solving
• Meaningful and impactful client-facing work
• “Small company feel” backed by a stable, award-winning organization
• Company Events
