We are seeking a world-class Global Supply Manager to own end-to-end transmission and substation electric equipment procurement strategy, supplier management, and delivery for SpaceX's behind-the-meter power plant infrastructure. In this role, you will partner deeply with power plant engineers and energy teams to define high-voltage equipment strategies, secure long-lead items (transformers, GIS, DTCB, bushings, transducers, utility poles, and related components), manage relationships with OEMs and suppliers, and ensure reliable, cost-effective delivery at the extreme scale and velocity SpaceX demands for its power plants. You will negotiate transformative contracts, deploy predictive tools for demand and risk management (especially long-lead times), drive supplier innovation, and turn transmission/substation procurement into a strategic competitive advantage that enables SpaceX's unprecedented AI infrastructure build speed. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in high-voltage power equipment markets, substation/transmission procurement, and energy infrastructure in high-growth environments.
