About the Role

You will own the end-to-end commercial and sourcing relationship with our ODM and OEM partners: selecting the right partner for each platform, running competitive RFQ/RFP events, negotiating build agreements and finished-goods pricing, driving cost transparency down through the bill of materials, and securing manufacturing capacity and ramp commitments that keep pace with our deployment schedule.

The ideal candidate knows how this hardware actually gets built.

You will work closely with Engineering, Finance, Legal, and Supply Chain Planning, Global Commodity Managers and Operations to bring new platforms from concept through mass production and scaled deployment.
