Full Job Description
ABOUT BASE 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. ABOUT THE ROLE Base is looking for a Global Supply Manager to source and own supplier relationships, support new and existing product development and manufacture, and to implement industry-leading sourcing strategy. This role will collaborate closely with engineering, manufacturing, and logistics teams to execute our product roadmap. The primary scope of this role is wiring harnesses, cable assemblies, and connector systems — the AC and DC harnesses, board-level connectors, and interconnect systems that carry power and signal across every Base battery and inverter. What You'll Do - Lead end-to-end RFx processes — scoping requirements, issuing RFQs, evaluating responses, and driving supplier selection to award. - Build and maintain should-cost models for wire harnesses and cable assemblies — decomposing copper, insulation, terminal, connector housing, and assembly labor cost — to anchor negotiations in first principles. - Negotiate piece price, tooling, payment terms, and master agreements — ensuring contracts are in place before business is initiated and that commercial terms hold up at scale. - Own the commercial relationship with key suppliers — tracking performance, managing escalations, and building the trust needed to move fast when it matters. - Develop and execute commodity strategies across AC and DC harnesses, OTS and custom connectors, and terminal systems — monitoring copper index movements, USMCA compliance, FEOC exposure, and dual-source needs to stay ahead of risk. - Drive supplier readiness across production ramp and sustained manufacturing, including capacity planni
