You will serve as a key interface between Engineering, Finance, Supplier Quality, and Manufacturing to deliver cost-effective, innovative solutions that meet program timelines and quality standards.

You Will:

• Lead strategic sourcing initiatives for Exterior commodities (e.g., lighting, glazing, bumpers, body panels), balancing cost, quality, delivery, and innovation.
• Develop and execute sourcing strategies that align with business objectives and program requirements.
• Prepare and issue RFQs/RFIs, analyze supplier proposals, and present sourcing recommendations to executive stakeholders.
• Negotiate complex commercial agreements, including pricing, tooling, and non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs.
• Drive contract development and ensure compliance with Lucid’s terms and conditions.
• Manage purchase order issuance for prototype and production tooling, ensuring alignment with program milestones and budget targets.
• Monitor supplier performance and elevate risks related to delivery, quality, or cost.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve supply challenges and drive continuous improvement.
• Provide regular updates on sourcing status, cost tracking, and supplier health to internal leadership.
• Travel up to 15–25% for supplier visits and program reviews.

You Bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, or Finance; MBA preferred.
• 5+ years of experience in strategic sourcing or procurement for mechanical/electrical components.
• Strong understanding of the full procurement lifecycle, including RFQ/RFI processes, cost analysis, and contract negotiations.
• Proven ability to manage complex supplier relationships and drive cross-functional alignment across global teams.
• Familiarity with product development cycles and quality systems.
• Excellent negotiation, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Proficiency in Excel, PowerPoint, ERP systems (SAP or equivalent), and project management tools (e.g., Smartsheet, Jira).
• Ability to navigate ambiguity, manage competing priorities, and deliver results under pressure.

Additional Compensation and Benefits: Lucid offers a wide range of competitive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability insurance, vacation, and 401k. The successful candidate may also be eligible to participate in Lucid’s equity program and/or a discretionary annual incentive program, subject to the rules governing such programs.
