About Base
Base is America’s next-generation power company.

We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time.
About the Role
Base is hiring a Global Supply Manager to own sourcing and supplier relationships for our home battery systems. You'll run sourcing from RFQ to award, negotiate the contracts, and make sure suppliers can keep up as we scale production. You'll work closely with engineering, manufacturing, and logistics on new and existing products.

Build should-cost models to benchmark pricing, find cost-downs, and back up negotiations with data.
Negotiate piece price, tooling, payment terms, and master agreements, with contracts in place before work starts.
Own key supplier relationships: track performance, handle escalations, and build enough trust to move fast.
Set commodity strategy across a global supply base, balancing cost, supply continuity, and risk.
Get suppliers ready for production ramp and sustained manufacturing, covering capacity, lead times, and end-of-life.
Present clear recommendations on awards, cost, and risk to engineering and executive leadership.
What You'll Bring
3+ years of strategic sourcing or procurement in hardware manufacturing.
Track record negotiating contracts and managing suppliers through escalations, including at the executive level.
Strong cost modeling and Excel skills.
Clear, direct written and verbal communication.
Comfort with ambiguity and shifting priorities.
Willingness to travel domestically and internationally, about 25% of the time.
Preferred Skills
Sourcing experience with board-level electronics such as passives, actives, and interconnects.
Experience with MRP or ERP systems.
Experience supporting a high-volume production ramp.

We build in-house and expand at a speed and cost incumbents can't match, and this team makes that possible.
