ridealso - Staff Global Supply Manager, NPI
Requirements
• Direct experience with EV-relevant commodities — battery cells/packs, power electronics, e-motors, high-voltage systems, low-voltage electronics, or thermal management. • Startup or fast-moving program environment experience where sourcing decisions get made with imperfect information and timelines move. • Familiarity with APQP, PPAP, and standard automotive launch processes. • Exposure to global supply base management across North America, Europe, and Asia, including an understanding of regional cost structures, logistics, and trade considerations. • The salary for this position ranges from $135,000 to $165,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications.
Responsibilities
• Act as the Supply Chain lead in program forums—providing updates, highlighting risks, and translating decisions into sourcing actions. • Develop sourcing strategies for new programs (make vs. buy, supplier selection, sourcing model, and risk approach). • Partner with Staff GSMs across key commodity areas to align on suppliers and execution. • Drive RFQs end-to-end—ensuring BOM readiness, timely releases, and on-schedule sourcing decisions. • Manage program-level BOM cost—track against targets, identify gaps, and drive cost reductions. • Collaborate with Finance and Engineering to set cost targets and validate supplier quotes. • Work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Design, and Commercial to align sourcing with program goals. • Track and manage sourcing risks, including supplier readiness, capacity, and timing. • Ensure supplier readiness through launch—supporting builds, validation, and ramp to production. • 7+ years in sourcing/procurement/supply chain, with strong NPI/program experience (automotive, EV, or tier-1 preferred). • Proven track record leading end-to-end sourcing across multi-commodity programs (RFQs → supplier selection → SOP). • Strong commercial acumen: should-costing, BOM roll-ups, cost targets, and program cost tracking. • Ability to influence senior commodity leaders without direct ownership. • Strong cross-functional partner—able to align Product, Engineering, Design, Finance, and Commercial. • Solid program management skills—manage complexity, drive execution, and deliver in fast-paced environments. • Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or advanced technical degree is a plus.
