What You’ll Do

CoreWeave is the AI Hyperscaler™, delivering a cloud platform of cutting-edge services powering the next wave of AI. Our technology supports enterprises and leading AI labs with resilient, efficient, and high-performance solutions for accelerated computing. 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.
