  • Supplier Management: Build strategic supplier partnerships and manage performance.
  • Supply Chain Strategy: Evaluate global markets, tariffs, duties and supply chain risks.
  • New Product Introduction: Align sourcing strategies with engineering requirements and manufacturing ramp-up.

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, Business, Economics or a related field.
  • 8+ years' experience in sourcing or supply chain management (6+ years with a Master's degree or MBA).
  • Strong experience sourcing solar cells and/or solar modules.
  • Proven experience in supplier negotiations, RFQs/RFPs and commercial agreements.
  • Strong understanding of cost modelling and total cost of ownership.
  • Experience developing sourcing strategies for new products and manufacturing scale-up.
  • Knowledge of global supplier markets, tariffs and international trade policies.
