Trio Supply Chain Solutions is hiring an ITAD Server Trader focused on acquiring decommissioned servers in bulk. This is a high‑energy, deal‑driven role for someone who knows how to source server hardware through enterprise refresh pulls, ITAD partnerships, leasing returns, and lifecycle channels — and can negotiate aggressively to secure recurring inbound volume at the lowest possible cost.
This is not a traditional procurement role. We are looking for a trader‑style professional who thrives on building pipelines, closing deals, and driving measurable acquisition results.
Responsibilities
- Identify and secure sources of decommissioned servers through end users, ITAD partners, leasing providers, VARs, OEM lifecycle channels, and data center refresh programs.
- Build and manage a pipeline of recurring inbound server hardware (pallet loads to truckloads).
- Negotiate acquisition pricing, terms, and volume agreements to maximize gross margin opportunity and minimize cost per system.
- Develop long‑term relationships with decision‑makers responsible for asset disposition and refresh cycles (ITAM, infrastructure, procurement, and ITAD program managers).
- Evaluate incoming server inventory quickly and accurately to determine resale value, teardown value, and refurbishment potential.
- Work with internal operations and logistics to coordinate pickups, receiving, and turnaround timelines.
- Maintain structured tracking of deals, cost per unit, volume, and pipeline forecast.
- Stay current on market pricing, demand trends, and server generation value shifts to support fast decisions and strong negotiation leverage.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience sourcing, trading, or acquiring used enterprise server hardware through ITAD, brokerage, lifecycle, leasing, or end‑user refresh pulls.
- Proven ability to negotiate and close deals involving bulk hardware acquisition (pallets to truckloads).
- Strong understanding of enterprise servers, common OEMs, and hardware generations (Dell, HPE, Lenovo, Cisco, etc.).
- Ability to assess hardware value rapidly and make buy decisions based on teardown/refurb/resale economics.
- Strong network or ability to build a network with ITAD firms, lifecycle service providers, and enterprise IT disposition teams.
- Comfortable operating in a performance‑driven environment with clear acquisition KPIs and targets.
- Excellent communication and relationship‑building skills.
Preferred Experience
- Existing book of contacts in ITAD, leasing, lifecycle services, or enterprise IT disposition.
- Experience in hardware brokerage, resale, or teardown economics.
- Experience structuring recurring pull programs or pipeline deals with enterprise clients.
Compensation
Competitive base salary plus performance bonus tied directly to acquisition volume, cost‑per‑unit, and gross profit contribution.

- Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
- Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
