About the company:

Redwood Materials is an American clean energy company headquartered in Sparks, Nevada, focused on securing domestic supplies of critical battery materials and providing large-scale energy storage solutions. The company recycles end-of-life batteries to recover lithium, nickel, cobalt, and copper, creating one of the largest domestic sources of these critical minerals in the United States. Its operations support the broader transition away from reliance on foreign supply chains for materials essential to electric vehicles and energy storage systems. Through its Redwood Energy division, the company designs, integrates, and deploys large-scale energy storage systems for data centers and the national grid, utilizing both new and repurposed batteries to deliver cost-effective solutions. Redwood Materials partners with major automotive, technology, and energy companies including Volkswagen Group of America, Panasonic, GM Ultium Cells, Toyota, BMW, Amazon, Volvo, and Southern Company, reflecting its central role in the emerging domestic battery supply chain. Founded by former Tesla Chief Technology Officer JB Straubel, Redwood Materials was established with the mission of building a circular economy for batteries, reducing waste, lowering the carbon footprint of energy storage, and strengthening American energy independence. The company holds ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 certifications, underscoring its commitment to occupational health, safety, and environmental management standards.

About Redwood Materials

Redwood is localizing a global battery supply chain that seamlessly integrates recovery, reuse, and recycling — keeping critical minerals in circulation and driving the energy transition. Founded in 2017, we’re delivering low-cost and large-scale energy storage and producing battery materials in the U.S. for the first time, all from batteries we already have.

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%).
