Creating a generalized brain interface to restore autonomy to those with unmet medical needs today and unlock human potential tomorrow. Backed by Lightspeed, Sequoia and Founders Fund.
About the role
As a Global Supply Manager, you will own the commercial strategy and performance of a portfolio of suppliers spanning the full breadth of what goes into the Implant and the Robot. This is explicitly a generalist role: rather than specializing in a single commodity, you will move across machined parts, molded plastics, electromechanical assemblies, PCBAs, raw materials, optics, hermetic packaging, coatings, and biocompatible materials — going wherever the business needs the most commercial leverage.
What they're looking for
- Hands-on experience running full RFI/RFQ/RFP cycles end-to-end — from requirements definition and supplier scorecarding through award, contract execution, and supplier onboarding
- Strong should-cost and total-cost-of-ownership analytical skills, including the ability to build a cost model from material, process, labor, overhead, yield, and margin inputs and use it to drive negotiation outcomes
- Working familiarity with at least one Quality Management System framework — ISO 13485, 21 CFR Part 820, AS9100, IATF 16949, or ISO 9001 — and how it shapes change control, documentation, and supplier qualification
- Solid technical literacy: able to read engineering drawings, basic GD&T, BOMs, and bills of process, able to translate between engineering and commercial language without losing fidelity in either direction
- Familiarity with ERP and procurement systems (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Coupa, Ariba, Zip) and an understanding of how data flows from BOM to PO to receipt to payment
- Strong project-management skills: able to run a parallel portfolio of sourcing initiatives against aggressive dates, sequence dependencies, escalate cleanly, and communicate status to stakeholders without being chased
More about this role
We are creating devices that enable a bi-directional interface with the brain. These devices allow us to restore movement to the paralyzed, restore sight to the blind, and revolutionize how humans interact with their digital world.
The Supply Chain organization owns the external manufacturing and supplier network behind every component of our products. Global Supply Managers (GSMs) own the commercial relationship with our supplier base — from supplier identification and selection, through contract negotiation, cost management, capacity commitments, and ongoing business performance. GSMs partner day-to-day with Supplier Industrialization Engineering (SIE), Quality, Design Engineering, Manufacturing, Planning, and Finance to make sure Neuralink has the right suppliers, on the right terms, delivering the right parts, on the right schedule.
