Job Description
Verda has a data center in the UK and a hardware supply chain that spans Taiwan, Japan, the US, and Europe. The UK is one of our top-priority markets and the Senior Procurement Specialist here will own it independently, sourcing hardware, managing suppliers, coordinating logistics, and handling the commercial agreements that keep everything moving. This is a role for someone who thrives with ownership. You’ll be Verda’s procurement presence in the UK, working closely with the central team in Finland while running UK operations with a high degree of independence. The expectation is that you bring the judgment and drive to make things happen locally and reach out when you need to.

Requirements
- 5+ years in procurement, supply chain, or vendor management in a hardware, technology infrastructure, or data center environment.
- Proven ability to run end-to-end procurement independently, from receiving a purchase request through to delivery confirmation and invoice reconciliation.

- Comfortable with logistics coordination and international shipping, customs clearance, Incoterms, freight forwarding, and the practical reality of moving hardware across borders.
- Able to review and manage commercial contracts without routing everything through Legal first — you understand what you're signing and what exposure it creates.

- Proficiency in both Mandarin and English.
