About Redwood Materials
Redwood is localizing a global battery supply chain that seamlessly integrates recovery, reuse, and recycling — keeping critical minerals in circulation and driving the energy transition. Founded in 2017, we’re delivering low-cost and large-scale energy storage and producing battery materials in the U.S. for the first time, all from batteries we already have.
We’re looking for a technically fluent and commercially strategic Global Supply Manager (GSM) to lead sourcing for printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs), custom transformers, and related electronics for a complex high-voltage energy product. You will own sourcing strategy, supplier negotiations, and delivery execution for key components that drive both early-stage ramp and sustained manufacturing success.
Responsibilities Will Include:
- Identify, qualify, and develop strategic suppliers for electronics, interconnects, and PCBA components.
- Lead RFQ/RFP efforts, negotiate commercial terms, and establish MSAs, SOWs, and pricing agreements.
- Collaborate with engineering and operations teams to ensure supplier readiness for NPI and mass production.
- Monitor supplier performance and manage escalations in quality, cost, or delivery.
- Work cross-functionally to ensure part readiness, VMI/buffer inventory, and cost optimization over lifecycle.
- Analyze BOM cost structure and propose sourcing strategies to reduce landed cost and mitigate risk.
- Support make-vs-buy, dual sourcing, and localization efforts across global supply chains.
- Contribute to CM sourcing decisions, lead-time analysis, and manufacturing footprint strategies.
Desired Qualifications:
- S. in Engineering, Supply Chain, Business, or equivalent technical background; MBA is a plus.
- 4–6 years of sourcing or GSM experience, ideally in EV, energy, or high-voltage electronics industries.
- Strong understanding of PCBA cost drivers, contract manufacturing dynamics, and commodity strategy.
- Experience negotiating commercial and technical terms with suppliers and CMs.
- Highly collaborative, data-driven, and proactive; capable of thriving in fast-paced startup environments.
- Willingness to travel internationally to supplier and CM sites as needed (10–25%).
