Manager, Materials Management - Memphis

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars. SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to understand the universe and help expand humanity's knowledge and capabilities. We work across the full Super Intelligence stack: compute (Colossus supercomputers), models (Grok), and applications (Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X). We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next. ABOUT THE ROLE: The Materials Management organization is a crucial part of data center operations, managing all critical materials to build and operate the world's largest supercomputer clusters. Our goal is to become a leader in inventory performance with high accuracy and efficiency. The Manager will be responsible for managing day-to-day activities and exceeding customer expectations by leading continuous improvement.
