About the role
About Redwood Materials Redwood Materials was founded in 2017 by JB Straubel, co-founder and former CTO of Tesla, on a simple but radical idea: the critical minerals powering the energy transition already exist. They just need to come back. Today Redwood is the largest lithium-ion battery recycler in North America — recovering, refining, and redeploying critical minerals from end-of-life batteries back into the supply chain. On the energy side, Redwood has deployed the largest second-life battery project in the world, delivering power to AI data centers in months rather than years using proprietary energy architecture engineered entirely in-house. The company is profitable, the market it operates in is projected to grow 20 to 50 times over the next decade, and Redwood is the only company with the supply chain, the technology, and the operational scale to lead it. 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%). In accordance with California pay transparency laws, the salary range for this position is listed below. Actual compensation may vary based on a variety of factors, including experience, education, and skills. California Pay Range: $112,500 — $215,000 USD The position is full-time.
