Staff Global Supply Manager, NPI

$135k - $165k
Full-time

ALSO.

About ALSO.

We’re ALSO, an electric mobility company originally conceived as a part of Rivian. We’re a passionate team of builders, dreamers, doers and innovators, focused on creating entirely new (not to mention, innovative and delightful) vertically integrated, small EVs designed to meet the global mobility challenges of today and tomorrow. Our mission is to inspire everyone to ride ALSO—replacing many local car, truck and SUV miles with ones on vehicles that are more affordable, more enjoyable and 10-50x more efficient.

ALSO is launching a lot of new and exciting platforms, and we're moving fast. We need someone who can keep up with the pace and deliver — turning program plans into sourcing action and making sure every part on a new vehicle has a credible path to a supplier, a price, and a launch date.

This is a program-facing, cross-commodity Staff Global Supply Manager role focused in on the New Product Integration. You'll be the Supply Chain anchor inside our new program forums, partnering closely with our Staff GSMs across Chassis, Battery, High Voltage, Low Voltage, and other commodity domains. You'll orchestrate their work against program timing while owning the end-to-end sourcing picture for the programs you support — and you'll be the single accountable Supply Chain partner for Product, Engineering, Design, Finance, and Commercial on every program decision that touches the supply base.

You'll report to the Director of Supply Chain.

What You Will Do

  • Act as the Supply Chain lead in program forums—providing updates, highlighting risks, and translating decisions into sourcing actions.
  • Develop sourcing strategies for new programs (make vs. buy, supplier selection, sourcing model, and risk approach).
  • Partner with Staff GSMs across key commodity areas to align on suppliers and execution.
  • Drive RFQs end-to-end—ensuring BOM readiness, timely releases, and on-schedule sourcing decisions.
  • Manage program-level BOM cost—track against targets, identify gaps, and drive cost reductions.
  • Collaborate with Finance and Engineering to set cost targets and validate supplier quotes.
  • Work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Design, and Commercial to align sourcing with program goals.
  • Track and manage sourcing risks, including supplier readiness, capacity, and timing.
  • Ensure supplier readiness through launch—supporting builds, validation, and ramp to production.

What You Will Bring

  • 7+ years in sourcing/procurement/supply chain, with strong NPI/program experience (automotive, EV, or tier-1 preferred).
  • Proven track record leading end-to-end sourcing across multi-commodity programs (RFQs → supplier selection → SOP).
  • Strong commercial acumen: should-costing, BOM roll-ups, cost targets, and program cost tracking.
  • Ability to influence senior commodity leaders without direct ownership.
  • Strong cross-functional partner—able to align Product, Engineering, Design, Finance, and Commercial.
  • Solid program management skills—manage complexity, drive execution, and deliver in fast-paced environments.
  • Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or advanced technical degree is a plus.

Nice to have

  • Direct experience with EV-relevant commodities — battery cells/packs, power electronics, e-motors, high-voltage systems, low-voltage electronics, or thermal management.
  • Startup or fast-moving program environment experience where sourcing decisions get made with imperfect information and timelines move.
  • Familiarity with APQP, PPAP, and standard automotive launch processes.
  • Exposure to global supply base management across North America, Europe, and Asia, including an understanding of regional cost structures, logistics, and trade considerations.

The salary for this position ranges from $135,000 to $165,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications.

Perks And Benefits

  • Robust health coverage. Excellent health, dental and vision insurance covered up to 100% by ALSO with FSA & HSA options.
  • One Medical membership and dedicated insurance advocates.
  • Rich fertility and family building benefits with Progyny.
  • Flexible time off.
  • 401(k) match.

Why ALSO.

We’re passionate about helping the world find a better way to get there—wherever it is you’re headed.

We’re located in the heart of Silicon Valley and have brought together a world-class team from some of the biggest brands in the technology, automotive, cycling, outdoor recreation and retail spaces.

Together we’re working hands-on to imagine, design and build an entirely new solution to a global set of transportation challenges.
