Not all supply chain roles are created equal. This is one where your decisions directly impact how fast our world transitions to clean energy. We’re a well-backed and revenue generating cleantech company that’s doing something genuinely different—taking retired EV batteries and turning them into powerful energy storage systems. With strong funding, global partnerships, and major expansion plans underway, we're entering a critical scaling phase—and supply chain is right at the centre of it. We need someone who can build, fix, and most importantly, scale.
As Supply Chain Manager, you’ll own the full picture: from supplier strategy to production readiness. You’ll be just as comfortable negotiating with vendors as you are rolling up your sleeves to solve an urgent materials issue. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role where you’ll shape systems, build a resilient supply network, and lead a growing team—all while keeping operations running smoothly in a fast-moving environment.
What You’ll Be Driving
- Building and strengthening supplier relationships to ensure reliability, quality, and cost efficiency
- Developing sourcing strategies and reducing single-supplier risk
- Aligning procurement with production needs, forecasts, and scaling plans
- Owning BOM visibility, cost control, and spend optimization
- Overseeing logistics and improving material flow from inbound to production
- Leading and developing a high-performing supply chain team
- Driving continuous improvement across systems, processes, and tools
What We're Looking For
You’re someone who thrives in complexity and doesn’t wait to be told what to fix. You’ve likely spent a decade or more in supply chain roles, with real exposure to manufacturing environments and team leadership. You know how to negotiate, plan, and optimize, but more importantly, you know how to adapt when things don’t go to plan (because they won’t). Experience in start-ups or high-growth environments will set you apart, as this is the real key experience required. Someone who has been a part of a truly scaling organisation is key! Exposure to energy storage, batteries, BESS or electrification would be a big plus, but certainly not essential. We’re very open on your industry background.
Why It’s Worth a Conversation
This isn’t a maintenance role, it’s a build-and-scale opportunity. You’ll work closely with a driven leadership team, have real ownership over outcomes, and see the direct impact of your work. If you’re motivated by solving hard problems, building something meaningful, and moving fast while doing it—this is the kind of role that doesn’t come around often.
