About the Role

As a member of the DC / Infrastructure Finance team, you will report to the Manager of DC / Infrastructure Finance and serve as a finance partner to Supply Chain and Strategic Sourcing. You will connect equipment purchasing plans, supplier commitments, delivery schedules, and deployment needs to capital spending and cash forecasts, helping Lambda secure infrastructure capacity while managing cost and inventory exposure.

What You'll Do

Equipment Capital Planning

Build and maintain equipment capital spending forecasts across GPUs, servers, networking, storage, and spares by supplier, platform, and deployment

Translate procurement quantities, unit costs, delivery schedules, and acceptance milestones into equipment spending and deployment cost forecasts

Track actual costs and purchase commitments against approved investment budgets; explain changes in price, quantity, configuration, and delivery timing

In-Service Timing and Depreciation

Own equipment in-service timing, from delivery and acceptance through deployment, and the resulting depreciation forecast by asset class, platform, and site

Combine equipment in-service schedules with facility in-service dates from DC Finance to produce the consolidated infrastructure depreciation forecast

Reconcile forecast depreciation to the fixed asset register and explain changes driven by timing, useful life, and cost

Supplier Economics and Sourcing Support

Maintain financial visibility into open purchase orders, deposits, prepayments, contractual commitments, and remaining equipment spending

Own supplier payment forecasts using contractual terms, delivery and acceptance dates, and invoice status as inputs to the consolidated cash forecast for Corporate FP&A and Treasury

Assess the cost and cash implications of order changes, delivery delays, expedited shipments, and cancellation or rescheduling provisions

Inventory and Deployment Alignment

Partner with Supply Chain to track the financial exposure associated with equipment on order, in transit, in storage, and awaiting deployment

Evaluate aging inventory, spares levels, excess equipment, and obsolescence risk; quantify the cost of holding inventory and potential mitigation options

Work with capacity planning, DC Finance, and Business / Commercial Finance to align purchasing assumptions with site readiness and demand forecasts, highlighting mismatches and cash tied up in idle equipment

Planning and Accounting Partnership

Develop equipment, logistics, and supply-related working capital inputs for the annual operating plan, quarterly forecasts, and long-range infrastructure plan
