About the Role
As a Buyer at Lightship, you will be the execution engine for the supply chain team — turning demand into accurate, on-time purchase orders that keep our vehicle programs supplied. Reporting to a Global Supply Chain Manager, and operating in a matrixed model across the supply chain organization, you will own the day-to-day purchasing for parts that have already been sourced and approved: placing and managing purchase orders driven by NetSuite MRP, confirming orders with suppliers, expediting deliveries, and resolving the discrepancies that surface along the way. This is a tactical, hands-on role and an ideal entry point into the Supply Chain field at a fast-scaling EV manufacturer. Sourcing strategy, supplier selection, and negotiation sit with the category owners and senior buyers you support — freeing you to build deep fluency in our ERP, our supplier base, and the mechanics of keeping a production line fed.
