Full Job Description
The Role: Architect of Assets

This is not a back-office purchasing role. You will sit at the high-stakes intersection of Procurement, Fleet Intelligence, and Global Strategy. Your mandate is to own the end-to-end vehicle sourcing lifecycle-negotiating directly with global OEMs to ensure Moove AV has the right hardware, at the right cost, at the exact moment the market demands it.
Your Impactful Responsibilities
1. High-Stakes OEM Strategy
  • Command the Negotiation: Lead multi-million dollar procurement strategies, mastering pricing structures, volume commitments, and delivery timelines.
  • Build Partnerships: Act as the primary commercial face of Moove AV, cultivating deep-rooted relationships with global OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers.
  • Risk Architecture: Negotiate sophisticated contracts that balance rebates, warranty frameworks, and innovative risk-sharing mechanisms.
2. Technical Program Management
  • Define the Standard: Collaborate with Engineering to translate operational needs into rigorous vehicle specifications optimized for autonomous, high-utilization environments.
  • Master the TCO: Balance the art of fleet standardization with the science of market-specific customization to drive down Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
3. Deployment & Velocity
  • Orchestrate Delivery: Synchronize production slot allocations with market launch readiness to ensure we never miss a deployment window.
  • Mitigate Volatility: Proactively identify and neutralize supply-side risks-from production bottlenecks to global component shortages-before they impact the bottom line.
4. Operational Rigor & Scalability
  • Data-Driven Sourcing: Establish KPI-driven supplier scorecards to monitor quality, cost, and delivery performance.
  • The Playbook: Design and codify the "Moove Sourcing Playbook," creating a scalable framework as we expand into international territories.
What You Bring to the Driver's Seat
  • The Veteran Edge: 10+ years in high-level strategic sourcing, procurement, or supply chain management-ideally within the automotive or high-tech logistics space.
  • The Negotiator's Mindset: You have a proven track record of sitting across the table from global OEMs and securing favorable commercial terms.
  • Analytical Prowess: You live in the data, with the ability to model complex TCO scenarios and translate them into actionable executive strategy.
  • Ambiguity Management: You thrive in fast-scaling environments where the path isn't always paved, but the destination is clear.

Qualifications
  • Must reside in and be authorized to work in the United States without current or future sponsorship.
  • This role is based in our Phoenix or Miami hubs; however, we are open to a remote arrangement for exceptionally qualified candidates.
  • Travel up to 25% both domestically and internationally.
Why This Role Matters

At Moove AV, procurement is mission-critical. Your decisions directly dictate our ability to scale, our cost efficiency, and our speed-to-market. In this role, you aren't just buying cars; you are securing the physical assets that form the foundation of the autonomous era.

Success in year one looks like: A flawlessly executed multi-market sourcing cycle, a robust OEM governance framework, and a supply chain that is as resilient as the technology we deploy.
