## About the role

You own the supply chain for a general-purpose robot going from prototype to production: every part in the bill of materials, from actuators, gears and motors to structures, PCBAs, harnesses, batteries and sensors, and every supplier and manufacturing partner behind them. You build it from the ground up, in the United States and abroad, and you build the team that runs it. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Leader of leaders. You have built a supply chain organization, hired its managers, and run it on numbers, you can still do the work yourself when the team is three people
- Commercial weight. You have negotiated with contract manufacturers and tier-one suppliers at the executive level and closed long-term agreements that held up under pressure
- Global. You have sourced across regions, including Asia and North America, and moved production between them
- Cost record. You can walk through a BOM cost-down from pilot to volume part by part, and you know where the money hides
- Technical. You read drawings and GD&T, you understand actuators, gearboxes, motors and PCBAs well enough to challenge an engineer constructively, and you are fluent in BOMs, change control, should-cost and MRP
- Pace. You default to urgency, operate without a playbook, and are comfortable before the systems exist
