About the role

At WHOOP, we're on a mission to unlock and inspire performance for life. WHOOP empowers members to perform at a higher level through a deeper understanding of their bodies and daily lives. WHOOP is hiring a Global Supply Manager (EE) to lead sourcing strategy and supplier management for critical electrical components and assemblies across new product introduction (NPI) and sustaining programs. In this role, you will operate at the intersection of Hardware Engineering, Operations, and the global supply base to ensure technology, cost, quality, capacity, and supply continuity support product innovation and successful launches. You will combine technical expertise, commercial judgment, and data-driven decision making to build a resilient and scalable electrical supply chain that supports the long-term growth of WHOOP. This role is based in the WHOOP office located in Boston, MA. The successful candidate must be prepared to relocate if necessary to work out of the Boston, MA office.

Responsibilities

• Own global sourcing and commodity strategies for electrical components and assemblies, including semiconductors, sensors, batteries, PCBAs, displays, connectors, and other critical technologies, establishing supplier, cost, capacity, and risk roadmaps across NPI and sustaining products.
• Partner closely with Electrical Engineering and cross-functional teams throughout the product development lifecycle to influence technology and supplier selection, component architecture, design-for-supply-chain decisions, and supplier readiness for development builds, product ramps, and mass production.
• Lead supplier identification, evaluation, qualification, selection, and ongoing management, balancing technical capability, cost, quality, capacity, geographic footprint, technology roadmaps, and supply continuity while driving supplier performance through structured business reviews and corrective actions.
• Lead commercial negotiations and cost strategy across assigned commodities, including pricing, cost models, competitive benchmarking, development agreements, capacity commitments, and long-term supply arrangements, identifying opportunities to improve cost without compromising quality, performance, reliability, or member experience.
• Proactively identify and mitigate supply, capacity, technology, geopolitical, and single-source risks through alternate-source qualification, capacity planning, strategic inventory, supplier investments, and other business continuity strategies.
