THE ROLE

As Head of Procurement, you will be a pivotal leader within our Supply Chain organization, reporting directly to the VP of Operations. You will be responsible for architecting, implementing, and leading Skytree’s global procurement strategies and operations, ensuring they robustly support our rapid innovation, product development, and aggressive global scaling plans.

This role requires a dynamic leader capable of navigating an evolving growth trajectory, guided by our strategic plan:

• Initial Phase (Foundation & Intensive Innovation Support): Your primary focus will be to establish and mature the core procurement function, processes, and initial team structure. Your team will provide intensive support for a significant portfolio of concurrent projects—including major technology platforms, multiple New Product Introductions (NPIs), and various technology exploration streams—ensuring a de-risked supply chain and achievement of COGS targets.
• Transitional Phase (First Production Ramp & Future Network Development): As the company moves towards its first significant production ramp, your team will continue to support the next wave of NPIs. You will lead your Strategic Sourcing & Technology Lead in the strategic activities of identifying, evaluating, negotiating with, and contracting an initial network of additional global CMOs.
• Growth Phase (Global Expansion & Full-Scale Operations): As Skytree expands its global operational footprint, you will lead a mature, global procurement organization. This will involve overseeing strategic sourcing, NPI procurement for a global market, and global execution, including the ongoing commercial management of an expanding network of global CMOs.

Across all stages, you will be responsible for managing the flow of inbound goods, ensuring timely and cost-effective sourcing. You will drive the continuous assessment and mitigation of supply chain risks, the development and maintenance of a long-term Approved Vendor List (AVL), and foster strong, collaborative relationships with key suppliers and manufacturers to drive innovation, reliability, and value. You will play a central role in the maturation of the procurement function, acting as a mentor to your team members and championing the necessary evolution of roles and responsibilities as dictated by our product roadmap and international expansion.
