Responsibilities

Base is looking for a Global Supply Manager to own sheet metal and extrusion sourcing for Base's structural metalwork: aesthetic panels, top cover, straps, and extruded aluminum components like the heat plate on the back of our disconnect enclosure. These parts go into Core Batteries, Disconnects, and associated products, built primarily through Sanmina Plant 4 and a network of direct and bridge suppliers.
You'll take over a real, active scope from day one, not build one from scratch. You'll work closely with Base's Metals category lead as we split Metals into focused sub-categories, sheet metal, extrusions, castings, and conductors, so each one gets the depth of attention it needs.
Own the commercial relationship with sheet metal and extrusion suppliers building Base's structural metalwork, as the primary contract manufacturer and a network of direct and bridge suppliers.
Take over day-to-day ownership of aesthetic panels, top cover, straps, and the aluminum extrusion heat plate, with no dropped continuity during handoff.
Build and maintain should-cost models for stamped, formed, and extruded parts, decomposed to material, tooling, cycle time, and finishing, to anchor negotiations and drive cost reduction.
Negotiate piece price, tooling terms, and master agreements with sheet metal and extrusion suppliers, and manage production escalations as the accountable party.
Establish dual-source or bridge-supply coverage for the highest-risk parts in the category, and partner with engineering and manufacturing on design trade-offs and line-side production issues.
What You'll Bring
Background sourcing stamped, formed, or extruded metal components, with fluency in tooling economics, process capabilities, and cost drivers across fabrication methods.
2+ years sourcing experience in a similar role.
Experience owning a commercial relationship with a contract manufacturer or metal fabricator directly, including negotiating piece price and tooling terms as the accountable party.
Comfort qualifying a bridge or backup supplier quickly when a primary vendor slips, without losing sight of the long-term plan.
