About ALSO.

We’re ALSO, an electric mobility company originally conceived as a part of Rivian. We’re a passionate team of builders, dreamers, doers and innovators, focused on creating entirely new (not to mention, innovative and delightful) vertically integrated, small EVs designed to meet the global mobility challenges of today and tomorrow. Our mission is to inspire everyone to ride ALSO—replacing many local car, truck and SUV miles with ones on vehicles that are more affordable, more enjoyable and 10-50x more efficient.

We are seeking an Global Supply Manager - Indirect to join our growing supply chain organization and help build the foundation for how ALSO sources and procures non-production goods and services. In this role, you’ll manage categories such as software, facilities, logistics, MRO, IT, and professional services - driving cost efficiency, supplier performance, and scalability as we transition from prototype to production.

You’ll operate in a fast-paced startup environment, working cross-functionally to support business needs, negotiate contracts, and develop sourcing strategies that deliver speed, value, and reliability.

What You Will Do

  • Own the end-to-end procurement process for indirect categories, including RFQs/RFPs, bid analysis, and supplier selection.
  • Negotiate commercial terms, pricing, and agreements (GT&Cs, SLAs) to deliver cost savings and operational efficiency.
  • Partner with operations, facilities, engineering, and finance teams to understand business needs and translate them into sourcing strategies.
  • Manage supplier onboarding, performance, and compliance to ensure quality and reliability.
  • Identify and execute process improvements to streamline purchasing and payment workflows.
  • Knowledge of procurement techniques, including TCO analysis, should-cost analysis, and cost benchmarking
  • Support the development and implementation of scalable procurement systems and tools (ERP, Coupa, NetSuite, etc.).
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure purchasing aligns with budgets, timelines, and company objectives.
  • Drive continuous improvement across supplier relationships and category strategies to support growth.
  • Works closely with Asia-based colleagues to educate, influence, lead, and support indirect material sourcing initiatives.

What You Will Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, or a related field.
  • 3–6 years of experience in indirect procurement, sourcing, or supply chain, ideally within an automotive, consumer electronics, or manufacturing startup environment.
  • Strong negotiation skills and experience managing suppliers across multiple categories.
  • Excellent analytical, communication, and project management skills.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment and balance tactical execution with strategic thinking.
  • Proficiency in procurement systems or ERP platforms (SAP, Oracle, Coupa, or NetSuite preferred).

The salary for this position ranges from $125,000 - $140,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications.

Why ALSO.

We’re passionate about helping the world find a better way to get there—wherever it is you’re headed.

We’re located in the heart of Silicon Valley and have brought together a world-class team from some of the biggest brands in the technology, automotive, cycling, outdoor recreation and retail spaces.

Together we’re working hands-on to imagine, design and build an entirely new solution to a global set of transportation challenges.

Perks And Benefits

  • Robust health coverage. Excellent health, dental and vision insurance covered up to 100% by ALSO with FSA & HSA options.
  • One Medical membership and dedicated insurance advocates.
  • Rich fertility and family building benefits with Progyny.
  • Flexible time off.
