## About the role

Base is hiring a Global Supply Manager to own sourcing and supplier relationships for plastics, molded components, and resin parts. These are the injection-molded parts, LSR-overmolded seals, thermal materials, and adhesives that protect, insulate, and seal every Base battery and inverter. You'll run sourcing from RFQ to award, negotiate the contracts, and make sure suppliers can keep up as we scale production. You'll work closely with engineering, manufacturing, and logistics on new and existing products. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Sourcing experience with injection-molded plastics, LSR, thermal materials like mica and aerogel, or specialty resins and adhesives
- Fluency in tooling economics and mold design constraints, plus a working knowledge of injection molding, compression forming, and LSR overmolding
- Should-cost modeling for plastic parts, covering material, cycle time, tonnage, cavitation, secondary operations, and tooling amortization
- Experience negotiating tooling ownership and IP terms, and tracking resin price indexes
- Experience with MRP or ERP systems
