We operate asset-light, moving fast on B300/B200-class capacity and building the commercial infrastructure that connects supply to demand in the AI compute market.\nThe Role\nWe're hiring a Sourcing Manager (or Sourcing Associate, depending on experience) to own the supply side of our marketplace. You'll identify, qualify, and onboard GPU and data center providers, then manage those relationships to keep high-quality capacity flowing into our platform. This is a commercial, relationship-driven role for someone who understands the AI infrastructure landscape and can talk credibly with providers about hardware, power, and deployment timelines.\nWhat You'll Do\nSource and qualify new GPU cloud and bare-metal providers, building a pipeline of available capacity across regions and hardware generations.\n\nOwn provider relationships end to end - from first outreach through onboarding, listing, and ongoing account management.\n\nNegotiate commercial terms and capacity commitments, working closely with the Head of Cloud Infrastructure and the deal team on structuring.\n\nMaintain accurate supply data and provider records in HubSpot, tracking capacity, pricing, and availability.\n\nStay on top of market dynamics - pricing trends, new hardware, provider capabilities - and feed intelligence back to the team.\n\nPartner cross-functionally with sales and operations to match sourced capacity against active demand.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\nWorking knowledge of the AI infrastructure industry, including GPU compute, and familiarity with hardware and data center requirements (power, cooling, colocation, deployment constraints).\n\nA track record in sourcing, partnerships, business development, or supply-side account management - ideally in cloud, compute, or infrastructure.\n\nComfort with HubSpot or a comparable CRM for pipeline and relationship management. Strong commercial instincts and the ability to negotiate and manage provider relationships independently.\n\nIdeally, an existing network of GPU or data center providers you can bring to the table. Direct, high-signal communication and a bias toward action.\n\nThe Manager vs. Associate distinction comes down to depth of industry experience, existing provider network, and ability to run relationships and negotiations autonomously.\nCompensation\nStrong base salary plus uncapped variable compensation tied to the capacity you source and bring online. Top performers earn significantly more as sourced volume scales.\nWorking at Shadeform\nWe're a small team, which means people have a high degree of ownership and autonomy. The work moves quickly, but we care a lot about building durable systems and maintaining quality. Most problems here are ambiguous at first, and people who do well tend to enjoy figuring things out without a lot of process already in place.\nWe care deeply about clear thinking, strong execution, and working with people who raise the bar for the team around them.\nShadeform is an equal opportunity employer.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3237,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cloud Platforms (IaaS & PaaS)","AI Compute & Inference"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T08:13:53Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":6,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.203,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":88,"expected_fill_days":12,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-28T05:59:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/shadeform-sourcing-manager-sourcing-associate","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/shadeform-sourcing-manager-sourcing-associate.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T03:04:15Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4622,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":173591},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=173591"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fshadeform-sourcing-manager-sourcing-associate"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fshadeform-sourcing-manager-sourcing-associate"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fshadeform-sourcing-manager-sourcing-associate"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/shadeform-sourcing-manager-sourcing-associate\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fshadeform-sourcing-manager-sourcing-associate"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":449220}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"shadeform.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":449220},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
