Become our “deal hunter” for critical hardware: You’ll scout suppliers/marketplaces (incl. Alibaba), request quotes, sanity-check specs/MOQs, and compare vendors on price, lead time, and reliability, then help us land great deals (within guidelines).
Make sure the right parts arrive on time: You’ll help run orders end-to-end (placing orders, tracking shipments, updating ETAs) and keep a simple procurement tracker so the team always knows what’s coming, when, and what’s at risk.
Connect procurement to real project timelines: You’ll work with the team to prioritize purchases based on the production plan and pilot/customer commitments, and you’ll proactively flag bottlenecks early.
Keep hiring moving (fast): You’ll coordinate profile reviews, keep our hiring tool/database clean and up to date, chase feedback, and help interview panels run smoothly (agendas, reminders, follow-ups).
Build small systems that scale: You’ll document what you learn, improve workflows, and turn chaos into clarity with lightweight process improvements. You bring structure by defining clear owners, timelines, and next actions across workflows.
Act as a lightweight project manager across operations: track progress, follow up with stakeholders, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
