Job description

Description

The Senior Director of Supply Chain will own the supply chain strategy and organization end-to-end. They will manage a complex multi-category strategy, build and maintain supplier relationships, and enable schedule discipline, team development, and the systems and processes required to make the function a highly effective operational asset. This person will build the supply chain organization that matches our rapidly scaling deployment strategy. 


This role coordinates incredibly closely with Engineering, Construction, and Operations, and the right leader will have a deep understanding of those disciplines, a track record of leading high-performance teams in complex operating environments, and a dedication to cross functional collaboration and continuous improvement. The ideal candidate has experience building supply chains for complex hardware-driven organizations who view supply chain as a core competitive operational advantage rather than an administrative function.

Requirements

Responsibilities

  • Build and lead a high-performing team of dedicated supply chain professionals and maintain a high-performance culture
  • Develop a deep understanding of the strategic direction of the business to inform overall supply chain strategy, KPIs, and goals to guide the organization in the right direction as the business scales
  • Manage planning, procurement, expediting, logistics, category management, administration, and compliance across subsurface, power facilities, and operational disciplines
  • Negotiate and maintain long-term strategic supplier alliances, strengthening Fervo's cost resilience, risk, and supply chain continuity
  • Implement systems required as the function scales across inventory planning, management, and logistics
  • Partner with GeoBlock Engineering, Construction, and Operations from the start of design, helping influence standardization, drive cost reduction, and decrease cycle time and surfacing supply chain constraints or considerations before they become bottlenecks
  • Drive continuous improvement

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in supply chain, engineering, business, or science
  • 7+ years of experience in manufacturing, engineering, or supply chain management
  • 3+ years of experience in managing teams
  • As part of your application, please submit a one-page response outlining why you are the right fit for this role. This submission is required for consideration, and applications without it will not be reviewed.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Track record of high performance
  • Excellent written and verbal presentation and communication skills
  • Expert level knowledge in one or more commodities within the team's scope
  • Exposure to manufacturing-mode or repeatable project delivery models
  • Demonstrated success building and maintaining direct supplier relationships
  • Track record of transformational leadership and questioning the status quo

Who Thrives At Fervo

We screen for attributes as much as experience. The people who do best here share a few things in common:

  • First-principles thinkers who question industry norms and trace problems back to physics and economics
  • Extreme ownership mindset
  • Bias for speed and iteration
  • Simplifiers who cut complexity
  • Collaborators who see supply chain and the business as inseparable
  • Mission-driven

Location

Fervo Energy is headquartered in Houston, TX. This position will be eligible for some hybrid work flexibility, but regular in-office presence at our Houston office will be required.
