Director of Supply Chain
The role
We are looking for a Head of Supply Chain to build and lead the team that sources our cell materials, manages our contract manufacturers (CMs) and controls the landed cost of every cell we ship. You will turn a lean team into a scalable organization, set the supply strategy for current and next-generation products, and make sure our supply base is resilient, compliant and cost-competitive as volumes grow. Reporting to Managing Director, Operations.
What you will do
Supply strategy and suppliers
• Own the sourcing strategy for all direct cell materials (anode, cathode, electrolyte, separator, packaging and mechanical parts).
• Run competitive RFQs and keep a documented roadmap with every critical supplier, aligned with Engineering BOMs and demand volumes.
• Negotiate and execute long-term supply agreements (LTSAs) and pricing agreements covering most material spend.
• Qualify second sources for critical materials and maintain business continuity plans for any remaining single-source parts.
• Make sure suppliers on government and defense programs meet NDAA and related sourcing requirements.
Contract manufacturers
• Manage our global CM network: roadmaps, quarterly business reviews and performance against agreed cost, yield and delivery.
• Identify, audit and qualify new CMs to add capacity and geographic diversity.
