Form Energy is hiring a Senior Global Supply Manager to lead procurement of indirect goods and services across all Form factories and facilities during rapid manufacturing scale-up. This is a strategic sourcing role reporting to the Manager of Global Supply Management within the Global Supply Chain team.
You will develop and execute sourcing strategies and scale-up roadmaps for indirect materials and services across Form's locations. Key responsibilities include building relationships with robust supplier pools and preferred vendors capable of supporting growth, with emphasis on diverse and local supply sources. You will own the full negotiation lifecycle—from category strategy and supplier identification through RFQ, qualification, pricing, and contracting—to optimize total cost of ownership, lead time, and risk position.
Additional responsibilities include owning contracting for contingent labor (supplier/agency agreements, rate structures, and protective terms), setting should-cost targets and benchmarks across indirect spend categories, and building deep technical fluency in Form's manufacturing processes and supporting supplier landscape. You will drive high-impact sourcing initiatives in partnership with finance, operations, and engineering teams to support the company's next phase of growth.
Form Energy manufactures long-duration iron-air battery systems for grid-scale energy storage.

Production is underway at Form Factory 1, a 550,000-square-foot facility in Weirton, WV (near Pittsburgh, PA), which serves as the hub for high-volume battery production.
Relocation assistance is available.
