I'm currently partnering with a global tech leader to find a Hardware Infrastructure Manager to join their Amsterdam-based team. This is a high-impact, full-cycle role overseeing everything from hardware procurement to deployment in data centers across Europe.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Managing the entire hardware lifecycle: from gathering infrastructure requirements to vendor negotiations, manufacturing oversight, logistics, and deployment.
• Collaborating with internal service teams and external vendors (including ODMs).
• Conducting post-deployment analysis to optimize future processes.
• Bridging the “gray area” between hardware handover and platform integration.

What We’re Looking For:

• A full-stack hardware specialist with a background in engineering or data center operations (not software-focused).
• Deep technical knowledge of server components and market trends.
• Strong vendor management and negotiation skills.
• Proactive mindset with solid organizational skills (timelines, diagrams, tracking tools).
• Bonus points for scripting skills (Python/Bash) and Linux experience.

Why This Role?

• Work with a cutting-edge tech environment and influence infrastructure at scale.
• Be part of a globally distributed team with high standards and strong collaboration.
• Competitive compensation package including:
• Quarterly performance bonuses (up to 45% of base)
• 8% holiday allowance
• Pension plan (4%)
• Meal & transport allowance
• Health insurance discount
