WHAT YOULL DO
We are looking for an Infrastructure Supply Chain Coordinator to bring structure and reliability to how IT hardware and related services move through Optivers APAC region - from engineer request through to rack-ready kit in our data centres and trading colocations.
This is an operational coordination role for someone who enjoys keeping complex parallel workstreams moving cleanly. You will sit at the intersection of infrastructure engineering procurement logistics and finance - making sure the right hardware arrives at the right place on time with accurate records at every step.
As an Infrastructure Supply Chain Coordinator you will:
Translate infrastructure demand into clean purchase execution- requisitions approvals orders and receipts - with correct financial coding and compliance at every stage.
Coordinate domestic and international logistics end-to-end including vendor quoting freight forwarding customs clearance and last-mile delivery into core data centres and trading colocations.
Maintain proactive communication with vendors and forwarders on lead times and deliveries escalating early when timelines risk affecting data centre or project schedules.
Keep inventory records accurate across the full hardware lifecycle from receipt through deployment so engineers and finance always have a reliable picture of whats on hand.
Partner with central Procurement and Accounts Payable within their frameworks - you own purchasing and logistics execution while they own commercial vendor strategy.
- Improve workflows as APAC volume grows: designing clearer handoffs reducing manual steps and making better use of our systems.
WHO YOU ARE
You have experience in purchasing procurement operations logistics coordination or supply chain - ideally in technology hardware distribution or financial services. You are comfortable working in a modern procurement or ERP toolset such as Coupa with strong discipline around financial coding approvals and receipts.
You understand that supply chain coordination is not just about placing orders. It is about keeping parallel vendor and shipment threads moving cleanly closing loops before they go stale and maintaining the kind of detail and written communication that gives engineers and finance confidence in whats on hand and whats in transit. You stay calm and organised when several orders and stakeholders need attention at once.
You are interested in working alongside infrastructure engineers - learning enough context about hardware and services to triage requests usefully without needing to be a hands-on data centre engineer yourself.
WHAT YOULL GET
Youll join a culture of collaboration and excellence where youll be surrounded by curious thinkers and creative problem solvers. Driven by a passion for continuous improvement youll thrive in a supportive high-performing environment alongside talented colleagues working collectively to tackle some of the most complex problems in the financial markets.
