From Base Power Company's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Base is America’s next-generation power company. We’re rebuilding the foundation of modern civilization–electricity–by deploying a vast network of distributed batteries that is transforming today’s fragile, centralized grid into a resilient and abundant system. We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time.
Base is looking for a Global Supply Manager to build and own our raw and bulk materials category from the ground up. You’ll start with adhesives, thermal interface materials (TIM), potting compounds, chemicals, and paint across our Base Core BOM, and expand into the raw materials that will underpin Base’s broader battery and structural materials strategy: lithium, carbon/graphite, anode and cathode materials, electrical steel, aluminum, cold-rolled steel, and copper.
This is a build-from-scratch mandate, not a handoff. You’ll define how Base sources and manages raw materials before we’re locked into supplier relationships reactively, working closely with Base’s Metals and Cells category leads as raw materials strategy intersects both, and partnering with Manufacturing Engineering as Base’s sourcing needs evolve.
Base’s supply chain team owns every material and component that goes into building and deploying a home battery system at scale. As Base’s raw materials needs scale with it, the company needs expertise it doesn’t have today.
Right now, raw materials like TIM, potting, and chemicals are managed as a side note within other categories, and lithium, graphite, steel, and aluminum sourcing strategy doesn’t exist yet.
This role gets to build that function from the ground up, at a moment when Base’s raw materials needs are scaling quickly, so the sourcing strategy this person builds will directly shape how Base secures and manages those materials going forward.
Please note: Base is a startup, which means priorities shift and evolve quickly. Your role may expand or change based on the needs of the business at any given time, so the responsibilities listed may not be exhaustive.
