About Neuralink:
We are creating devices that enable a bi-directional interface with the brain. These devices allow us to restore movement to the paralyzed, restore sight to the blind, and revolutionize how humans interact with their digital world.
About the Team
The Supply Chain organization owns the external manufacturing and supplier network behind every component of our products. Global Supply Managers (GSMs) own the commercial relationship with our supplier base — from supplier identification and selection, through contract negotiation, cost management, capacity commitments, and ongoing business performance. GSMs partner day-to-day with Supplier Industrialization Engineering (SIE), Quality, Design Engineering, Manufacturing, Planning, and Finance to make sure Neuralink has the right suppliers, on the right terms, delivering the right parts, on the right schedule.
About the Role
As a Global Supply Manager, you will own the commercial strategy and performance of a portfolio of suppliers spanning the full breadth of what goes into the Implant and the Robot. This is explicitly a generalist role: rather than specializing in a single commodity, you will move across machined parts, molded plastics, electromechanical assemblies, PCBAs, raw materials, optics, hermetic packaging, coatings, and biocompatible materials — going wherever the business needs the most commercial leverage. You will drive sourcing strategy, negotiate contracts and pricing, manage supplier performance, and be the single point of accountability for the commercial health of your portfolio.
We expect generalists to be biased toward learning new categories rapidly, comfortable owning commodities they have not personally sourced before, and willing to develop the technical fluency required to negotiate credibly with engineering-led suppliers.
We are hiring across multiple levels. Early-career GSMs will own a focused portfolio under mentorship; senior and staff GSMs will own multi-commodity strategy across both programs, lead the most complex negotiations, and shape Neuralink’s long-term supply-base architecture.
What You'll Do
Sourcing Strategy & Supplier Selection
- Own end-to-end sourcing strategy for a portfolio of categories spanning mechanical, electromechanical, electronic, optical, raw-material, and biocompatible-material commodities used in the Implant and Robot. Drive technical and commercial requirement definition, supplier evaluation, scoring, and award recommendation.
- Identify, qualify, and onboard new suppliers; build a global, resilient supplier base with deliberate dual-sourcing and geographic-risk strategies.
