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

• Analyze supplier quotes, bills of materials, and total landed costs, including freight, storage, duties, warranties, and other applicable charges
• Model the financial impact of supplier alternatives, volume commitments, payment terms, and component cost changes to support sourcing negotiations and recommendations
• Track negotiated savings and cost increases against approved assumptions, distinguishing expected savings from realized financial impact

Purchase Commitments and Cash Forecasting

• Own the team’s commitments data across equipment and construction spend, connecting purchase orders, receipts, invoices, and payments into a single source used by DC Finance and Corporate FP&A
• 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
