Senior Project Purchaser

Alice & Bob is developing the first universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer to solve the world’s hardest problems.
The quantum computer we envision building is based on a new kind of superconducting qubit: the Schrödinger cat qubit 🐈‍⬛. In comparison to other superconducting platforms, cat qubits have the astonishing ability to implement quantum error correction autonomously!
 
We're a diverse team of 250+ brilliant minds from over 35 countries united by a single goal: to revolutionise computing with a practical fault-tolerant quantum machine. Are you ready to take on unprecedented challenges and contribute to revolutionising technology? Join us, and let's shape the future of quantum computing together!

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Project Purchaser to help us build our next-generation infrastructure, ranging from nanofabrication to cryogenics by managing the entire procurement process. In this role, you'll have the opportunity to collaborate with our brilliant Experiments and Engineering teams, and ensure we have the best tools and resources to continue innovating in the quantum computing space.As our Purchaser, you'll be attached to the Procurement Manager and work closely with cross-functional teams to bring our projects to life. This role is made for someone who thrives in a technical, dynamic environment and enjoys being a pivotal player in driving the success of cutting-edge projects.
