Global Supply Manager

Torrance, CA

What we’re building

Our vision is to electrify all waterborne vessels, starting with electric water sport boats.

Gas-powered boats dominate today’s marine industry not because they offer a great experience, but due to a lack of better alternatives. Boaters have grown accustomed to vehicles that feel stuck in the 1980s: unreliable, expensive, loud, and difficult to own and operate. They’re also harmful to the water and air they reside in.

By contrast, electric boats are superior in nearly every way. They are far more reliable, quieter, quicker, and cleaner, with lower operating costs and zero emissions. However, technological and talent constraints have prevented them from truly competing with gas alternatives until now.

That’s Arc’s opportunity. Using modern aerospace and automotive-inspired techniques, we’re developing our hulls, batteries, cooling systems, firmware, and software in-house to deliver the next generation of watercraft.

Who we’re looking for

We're looking for someone who is excited by our vision, eager for a challenge, and willing to learn on the job. We operate with transparency in a lean, high-trust environment that encourages ownership over your domain.

You will be a full-time member of our Supply Chain team and will work from our manufacturing facility in Torrance. As a startup, we operate in a fast-moving, dynamic environment that requires adaptability. That said, here are some responsibilities and qualifications that will remain relatively constant for this role.

Core responsibilities

  • Developing and executing sourcing strategies to ensure a reliable, cost-effective supply of products and services
  • Identifying, evaluating, and managing suppliers, including performance assessments, issue resolution, and cost control
  • Preparing, evaluating, and documenting RFx packages
  • Leading supplier contract negotiations, including NDAs, T&Cs, and Supply Agreements
  • Collaborating with engineering and production to support prototype builds, production milestones, design changes, and sourcing progress
  • Mitigating supply chain risks, report critical concerns to management, and proactively navigate geopolitical, economic, and environmental challenges

Basic qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, Engineering, or a related field
  • Four or more years of experience in global supply chain management, procurement, or sourcing
  • Strong understanding of supply chain principles, best practices, and industry trends
  • Excellent negotiation, communication, and relationship-building skills

Bonus qualifications

  • Experience in a fast-paced manufacturing setting
  • Analytical mindset with the ability to leverage data for informed decision-making
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to prioritize effectively
  • Clear written and verbal communication
  • Comfortable maintaining an intense but sustainable pace
  • Enthusiasm for boating and clean energy

At Arc, we encourage diversity and consider all qualified applicants equally for employment, regardless of background, identity, or status. You’re always welcome to reach out even if you don’t meet many of these qualifications. Passion and aptitude make up for a lot.

Our values

We value these five things above all else:

  • Ownership over both your work and the company’s success
  • Empathy for colleagues and for customers
  • Humility in problem solving and collaboration
  • Pragmatism for navigating ambiguity quickly and sensibly
  • Inclusion of different backgrounds, opinions, cultures, etc.

We work in an intense but rewarding environment, so it’s important that our values align. We’d be happy to elaborate during the interview process.

What we offer

  • Talented teammates who challenge you to grow
  • Exposure and input into a wide range of business activities
  • Salary between $90,000 - $175,000
  • Meaningful equity stake
  • A chance to shape industry-defining vehicles
  • Opportunity to drive positive environmental change
  • Nearly free health insurance (99% covered) and 401k

  • Boat rides!

Hope to hear from you soon!

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
