## About the role

We are looking for a Sourcing & Procurement Manager to support our operations across Los Angeles, CA and our manufacturing campus in Adrian and Detroit, MI. You will be embedded with the teams defining the requirements and building the supplier relationships that keep our programs moving. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- You move fluidly between strategic work and execution — equally at home in a supplier negotiation and chasing down a late PO
- Highly organized and effective in a fast-paced environment where production schedules have real consequences
- You communicate clearly and build trust quickly — with suppliers, engineers, and leadership alike
- Proactive by nature: you anticipate supply problems before they become crises
- Analytically driven, but you know when to act on judgment and experience
