Full Job Description
Role Scope
  • Own global sourcing for manufacturing facilities: the equipment, fit-out, and services that stand up and run our factories.
  • Negotiate supplier agreements across capital equipment, MRO, and facility services with lead times tied to the production ramp.
  • Qualify and dual-source critical categories so no single supplier can stall the factory.
  • Drive total cost, not just price: freight, spares, uptime, and terms.
What We're Looking For
  • The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • You've sourced capital equipment or industrial categories at scale and closed the deals yourself.
  • You've built supplier redundancy that got tested and held.
  • You negotiate from a should-cost model, not a quote comparison.
  • You've managed suppliers through a factory launch or major ramp.
  • Your contracts anticipate the failure modes: delays, quality, and support.
  • Bonus: Manufacturing launches. Equipment categories such as weld, CNC, and material handling. International supply bases. ERP procurement.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
