Senior Global Supply Manager - ECU

Rivian is on a mission to keep the world adventurous forever. This goes for the emissions-free Electric Adventure Vehicles we build, and the curious, courageous souls we seek to attract.

As a company, we constantly challenge what's possible, never simply accepting what has always been done. We reframe old problems, seek new solutions and operate comfortably in areas that are unknown. Our backgrounds are diverse, but our team shares a love of the outdoors and a desire to protect it for future generations.

• Lead Material Readiness and Program Execution: Serve as the primary material point of contact for ECU components, collaborating across Engineering and Operations to own the Clear to Build (CTB) process for all Quick Turn, NPI, and Mass Production builds, ensuring on-time material availability.
• Drive Strategic Sourcing and Cost Management: Lead the RFI/RFQ/RFP strategic sourcing process, perform detailed financial analysis of quotes, and drive complex commercial negotiations to secure capacity, favorable terms, and achieve aggressive cost reduction targets.
• Proactively Manage Supply Chain Risk: Identify, report on, and implement robust mitigation plans for potential supply risks (e.g., single source, long lead times), including managing Risk Buy decisions for critical long-lead-time components.
• Oversee Inventory and Financial Efficiency: Manage inventory levels at Contract Manufacturers (CMs) to minimize Excess and Obsolete (E&O) material while ensuring adequate supply and reviewing Engineering, Design & Development (ED&D) costs for best-in-class value.
• Ensure Component Lifecycle Stability: Partner with Engineering on component obsolescence management and End-of-Life (EOL) planning to maintain the long-term viability of ECU designs
• Manage Supplier Relationship and Performance: Establish and maintain strong supplier relationships, leading all contractual negotiations (NDAs, PSAs, T&Cs) and managing performance against key supply chain and quality metrics.
