Role Scope- Own the global sourcing strategy for batteries, solar PV panels, and inverters: from supplier identification and qualification through contract execution and delivery against construction timelines.
- Negotiate long-term supply agreements with tier-1 manufacturers across batteries, solar, and power electronics, covering volume pricing, payment terms, warranty provisions, and delivery SLAs.
- Build and maintain should-cost models for all three product categories, tracking lithium, silicon, and copper commodity pricing and adjusting sourcing strategy ahead of market moves.
- Run supplier business reviews and hold partners accountable to quality standards, financial health thresholds, and geopolitical risk criteria, with dual-source coverage across critical categories.
- Partner with Engineering, Project Management, Finance, Legal, and the sustainability team to keep procurement timelines locked to construction schedules and ESG supplier criteria applied consistently.
- Coordinate with logistics and customs teams to manage cross-border shipments, lead time buffers, and import compliance across suppliers in China, South Korea, and Southeast Asia.
What We're Looking ForThe 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 personally negotiated and closed large-scale supply agreements with tier-1 energy hardware manufacturers, covering batteries, solar PV, or inverters, and you can point to the commercial terms you moved.
- You understand BESS, solar PV systems, and power electronics well enough to challenge a supplier's spec, catch a cost model that doesn't add up, and hold your own in a technical negotiation.
- You've managed global supply chains with suppliers across China, South Korea, or Southeast Asia, including Incoterms selection, cross-border logistics, and import compliance, without losing schedule.
- You've built should-cost models from scratch and used them to drive supplier negotiations, not just to report cost after the fact.
- You catch supply risk before it lands on the schedule: financial health flags, capacity constraints, geopolitical exposure, and single-source dependencies are things you track continuously, not reactively.
- Bonus: Data center, utility-scale, or large-scale industrial infrastructure sourcing. IEC and UL certification requirements for energy storage and solar equipment. ERP fluency (SAP, Oracle, or equivalent). CIPS, CSCP, or equivalent procurement certification. Engineering, Supply Chain, or Business degree.
Salary & Benefits- Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity).
- Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
- Health, dental, and vision insurance.
- Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.
The base salary range for this position is $220,000 - $290,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. This range represents our good faith estimate of the compensation for this role at the time of posting. Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
