About The Position

Redwood Materials is localizing a global battery supply chain that seamlessly integrates recovery, reuse, and recycling — keeping critical minerals in circulation and driving the energy transition. Founded in 2017, we’re delivering low-cost and large-scale energy storage and producing battery materials in the U.S. for the first time, all from batteries we already have. This role will own the top of the funnel for a defined set of critical requisitions across Redwood Materials, spanning Energy Storage Systems (ESS) and Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC). The Senior Sourcer will partner with a recruiter and hiring manager on each critical requisition, develop the search strategy, execute outreach, and deliver engaged, qualified candidates. Success will be measured by qualified submittals, response rates, and the proportion of hires originating from the sourcer's pipeline.
