Job Description
Global Sourcing Manager managing supplier relationships and procurement executing sourcing strategies for advanced battery technologies. Overseeing multiple commodity categories and ensuring operational readiness for production builds.
Responsibilities:
- Own the operational supplier relationships across multiple commodity categories, including electrical, cables, harnesses, packaging, and consumables.
- Run the day-to-day RFQ, quote, and PO process, from technical package through quote normalization, supplier selection, and order placement.
- Manage long lead time component visibility, tracking, and expediting against build schedules.
- Drive supplier cadence: weekly status, monthly business reviews where appropriate, scorecards, and corrective action when performance drifts.
- Onboard new suppliers brought in through Director-led strategic sourcing, including qualification logistics, NDA execution, and commercial setup.
- Partner with engineering during NPI to source components against evolving specs, manage long lead and allocation-risk items, and ensure material readiness for prototype and pilot builds.
- Own and maintain the CTB tracker across active builds. Reconcile on-hand, on-order, and in-transit quantities against build schedules and phase requirements.
- Maintain clean PO records on quantities, pricing, delivery commitments, and receipt status.
Requirements:
- 5+ years in sourcing, procurement, or commodity management with direct ownership of supplier relationships across multiple hardware categories.
- Direct experience holding supplier relationships in a CM-based manufacturing model: consignment, direct negotiation alongside a CM, or split-ownership of the supply base.
- Hands-on experience moving from incomplete or evolving specs to qualified suppliers and quoted components.
- Comfort with the operational complexity of multi-category sourcing: dual communication paths, CM coordination, BOM reconciliation, and supplier performance management.
- Strong execution instincts.
- Ability to keep multiple workstreams in motion, hold suppliers and CMs accountable, and escalate cleanly when needed.
- Ability to operate independently and set priorities without a defined playbook.
Benefits:
- Health, dental, and vision insurance.
- Flexible PTO with a generous holiday policy.
- Remote-friendly with monthly travel to Carlsbad, CA and periodic international supplier visits.
