Industry: U.S. Global Electric Vehicle (EV) & Battery Manufacturing Platform
Senior Executive Leadership | Reports to: Chief Operations Officer
Location: Remote – United States

About the Organization

We are a U.S.-based global electric vehicle (EV) and advanced battery manufacturing enterprise supporting next-generation electric mobility platforms, grid-scale battery storage systems, and clean transportation infrastructure.

Operating in a capital-intensive, technology-driven environment, our supply chain spans lithium and rare earth material sourcing, cell manufacturing partners, semiconductor providers, precision electronics suppliers, and large-scale assembly facilities across North America and strategic international markets.

As EV adoption accelerates and battery technology evolves, resilient, ethical, and cost-disciplined supply networks are mission-critical to production continuity, margin stability, and regulatory alignment. Our expansion roadmap includes domestic gigafactories, vertically integrated sourcing, and strategic partnerships designed to secure long-term material access and geopolitical resilience.

We are seeking a strategic and execution-driven Director of Supply Chain to lead end-to-end supply strategy, global sourcing governance, integrated planning, and risk mitigation initiatives, fully remote within the United States.

This is not a tactical procurement oversight role. This is a national supply architecture and operational resilience mandate.
