Meta is seeking a Strategic Sourcing Manager to lead battery sourcing strategy across our Metaverse, Wearables, and emerging device programs. In this role, you will develop and execute sourcing strategies for battery cells, packs, BMS/BMU, and related sub-systems while partnering with cross-functional engineering and product teams. You will drive supplier innovation, lead complex negotiations, champion cost reduction initiatives, and build executive-level relationships with tier 1 cell suppliers globally. This position requires technical expertise in lithium-ion battery technologies and manufacturing processes, combined with strategic sourcing leadership to ensure Meta's products are powered by battery solutions that meet defined energy density, cycle life, and safety requirements.

Job Responsibility

  • Execute sourcing strategies for battery cells, packs, BMU, and related battery sub-systems, addressing current and future technical and commercial requirements across Metaverse, Wearables, and emerging device programs
  • Initiate and execute capacity planning, supplier resourcing, and mass production plans for new products across all lifecycle phases (NPI, MP, sustaining, EOL), with a focus on battery cells and packs
  • Utilize expertise in battery manufacturing processes (e.g., electrode coating, calendaring, winding/stacking, electrolyte filling, formation, aging, pack assembly, welding, BMS integration, safety testing) to assess supplier capabilities, resolve capacity constraints, and validate cost dependencies
  • Support negotiations for purchase agreements, NRE, capacity reservation, and long-term supply contracts to secure optimal terms and ensure supplier accountability for program deliverables across the battery supply base
  • Champion cost reduction programs utilizing should-cost models, raw material indexing (Li, Co, Ni, graphite), and data analytics tailored to cell and pack manufacturing
  • Create and implement contingency plans for scalability challenges, lead times, single-source dependencies, raw material volatility, and geopolitical risks in the battery supply chain
  • Develop systems for measuring supplier performance (quality, delivery, cost, technology, responsiveness) and conduct regular business reviews with battery cell and pack suppliers
  • Travel (20-30%) to supplier sites, and work across time zones to support global battery supply chain activities

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in chemical engineering, materials science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, supply chain management, business, or equivalent practical experience
  • 7+ years of sourcing experience in fast-paced consumer electronics, automotive, or an equivalent industry, with direct exposure to battery cell and/or pack sourcing
  • Experience ramping high-volume consumer electronics or wearable products with battery content
  • Working knowledge in all or any of the following areas: lithium-ion cell chemistry and design, electrode manufacturing, cell assembly and formation, pack/module integration, BMS/BMU, safety standards (UN 38.3, UL, IEC), and related battery manufacturing processes
  • Experience in supplier evaluation/selection, should-cost modeling, contract negotiation, and supply base management for batteries or comparable high-complexity commodities
  • Experience with cost drivers and experience building bottoms-up or should-cost models for battery cells and packs (including raw materials, bill-of-materials, and capex amortization)
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel to run supply chain modeling and analyses

Nice to have

  • Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
  • MBA or Master of Engineering
  • Experience working with contract manufacturers, ODMs, OEMs, and pack houses in the battery domain
  • Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
  • Experience leading or mentoring sourcing teams or cross-functional commodity pods
  • Established relationships with Battery Pack, Cell, SIP/BMU, and raw material suppliers
  • Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
