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.

ALSO is looking for a Staff Global Supply Manager, EE Components, to own the electronics and silicon supply base at the heart of our vehicles, from early concept through mass production. You'll work hand in hand with Engineering, Manufacturing, and NPI, and act as our commercial lead with the manufacturers who make our platform possible.

What You'll Do

• Build and execute the global sourcing strategy for EE components and semiconductors across current and next-gen vehicle roadmaps, with scalability designed in from the start

• Own a semiconductor technology roadmap that keeps product architecture aligned with where suppliers and the industry are heading

• Own the Approved Vendor List end to end, running the full supplier lifecycle from finding and qualifying new sources to evaluating performance once they're in

• Negotiate long-term agreements, Master Purchase Agreements, and quality terms that lock in the high-priority parts needed to build and scale

• Lead BOM scrubs to catch end-of-life risks, single-source exposure, and technical bottlenecks before design freeze, partnering with Architecture and Engineering to balance cost, performance, and resilience

• Own should-cost modeling and use it to drive down total cost of ownership through negotiation and value engineering

• Spot vulnerabilities in the EE supply chain, whether geopolitical or capacity-related, and put hedging and continuity plans in place before they bite

• Track market pricing swings, lead-time shifts, capacity, and technical advances in silicon to inform sourcing strategy

• Stand up supplier performance metrics, run regular business reviews, and travel to supplier sites when it moves the needle on cost, relationships, or development

What You'll Bring

• 7+ years in global sourcing or commodity management, specifically with semiconductors or complex EE components, plus real NPI experience

• Direct sourcing experience in at least one or two of these areas: computing (CPUs/GPUs/FPGAs/MCUs, DRAM/NAND), perception (IMUs, radar, vision sensors, camera modules), power and motion (PMICs, battery management systems, motor controllers), connectivity (USB/PCIe/CAN/Ethernet, wireless, signal integrity), or interaction (display and touch)

• BS in Engineering (EE preferred), Supply Chain, or Business Management

• A track record of landing long-term agreements with global manufacturers, backed by deep technical knowledge of the semiconductor ecosystem

• Comfortable operating as the subject-matter expert with a lot of autonomy, strong at building relationships inside and outside the company, and able to travel domestically and internationally about 25% of the time

The salary for this position ranges from $135,000 - $165,000 per year, depending on experience, qualifications, and location.

Perks & 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

• 401(k) match
