About The Position

This role is for a strategic and hands-on Global Supply Manager who thrives in fast-moving environments and loves the challenge of establishing supply chains and relationships from the ground up. You’ll own sourcing and supply chain strategy for a host of key mechanical commodities - from machined and stamped metals to injection-molded plastics and motors. You’ll work cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, finance, and quality teams to drive value, resilience, and innovation across an evolving global supply base.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in strategic sourcing or supply chain management within hardware, robotics, automotive, industrial, or manufacturing sectors.
• Practical experience with mechanical components — including aluminum, steel, and plastic parts, and familiarity with injection molding, casting, extrusions, stampings, and machining processes.
• Proven ability to build supplier relationships from zero and manage supplier teams effectively at all levels.
• Commercial acumen — you understand the time value of money and cost modeling, and can analyze and compare supplier proposals with precision.
• Demonstrated skill in navigating complexity and ambiguity with clarity and professionalism.
• Strong presentation and communication skills, capable of influencing internal and external stakeholders at all levels.
• A collaborative mindset — able to partner seamlessly with engineering, manufacturing, quality, and finance teams.
• A passion for working in a dynamic, mission-driven environment where ownership, curiosity, and initiative are valued.

Responsibilities

• Conduct market analysis and competitive benchmarking across multiple commodity groups (aluminum, steel, plastics, etc.) to inform sourcing strategy.
• Identify, evaluate, and engage new strategic supply partners across regions — building a supplier ecosystem capable of supporting Mytra’s growth.
• Develop supplier relationships from scratch, ensuring the right senior-level engagement within partner organizations to enable collaboration and long-term alignment.
• Negotiate commercial terms and supply agreements that deliver best value for Mytra — not just in price, but in innovation, risk resilience, and total cost of ownership.
• Work closely with engineering to ensure supplier capabilities align with Mytra’s design, innovation and manufacturability needs.
• Assess and mitigate supply chain risks, including geopolitical exposure, single-sourcing, and capacity constraints.
• Manage through ambiguity and change — maintaining strong, collaborative relationships even as designs evolve and priorities shift.
• Drive supplier performance reviews and continuous improvement across quality, delivery, and cost metrics.
• Present sourcing strategies, risk assessments, and supplier recommendations confidently to Mytra’s senior leadership.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, finance, manufacturing, and quality to ensure alignment on sourcing strategy and execution.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation + equity grants at a high growth company backed by top tier VCs
• Medical, dental, vision, 401(k), commuter benefits, and pet insurance
• Lively modern combined office and lab space where we rapidly iterate through design, build and test phases
• Lunch and snacks provided in the office; we eat and share stories together at the “long” table
• Flexible hours and flexible PTO
