You will define commodity strategies, build team capabilities, and align roadmaps with engineering and vendor partners. Key responsibilities include building and mentoring a high-performing sourcing team; defining multi-year commodity strategies in partnership with engineering teams; overseeing end-to-end sourcing, supplier qualification, and performance management; orchestrating demand across SpaceXAI entities; negotiating major agreements on pricing, volume, and technology access; managing ODM/CM relationships; monitoring supply chain risks; driving cost reduction through should-cost modeling and value engineering; and tracking KPIs with regular senior leadership updates.
