Summary of Role

As the Director of Supply Chain, you will join the Asset Management & Services team at Palmetto, playing a pivotal role in shaping and executing our end-to-end supply chain strategy. In the post–One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) residential solar landscape, supply chain management has become more critical—and more complex—than ever before. You will lead the design and operational execution of Palmetto’s supply chain strategy in close collaboration with cross-functional teammates, distributors, OEMs, EPCs, and external advisors.

 

This role is both strategic and hands-on – you will guide key initiatives spanning Safe Harbor, domestic content, FEOC compliance, long-term supply agreements, and AVL governance, ensuring Palmetto’s solar asset platform is optimized for reliability, cost efficiency, and compliance. As a foundational leader, you’ll help build the infrastructure and partnerships that will define the next generation of Palmetto’s supply chain capabilities.

 

Strategic & Tactical

  • Lead end-to-end Safe Harbor planning, procurement, and allocation to maximize project eligibility and tax credit capture.
  • Direct national inventory strategy, warehousing, and fulfillment operations.
  • Negotiate strategic supplier agreements and manage relationships to secure competitive pricing and reliable supply.
  • Align supply forecasts with sales, finance, and operations to ensure supply continuity and minimize overstock.
  • Ensure adherence to import/export rules, FEOC and Domestic Content compliance, and full traceability of sourced components.
  • Maintain and enforce AVL standards for modules, inverters, racking, and batteries, ensuring quality, compliance, and performance.
  • Build long-term distributor, EPC, and OEM relationships to secure capacity, co-develop solutions, and reduce supply risk; proactively communicate changing requirements from partners to Palmetto and from Palmetto to partners.
  • Seamlessly communicate requirements between a number of disparate stakeholders, including engineers, operations teammates, OEMs, leaders, and investors.

 

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Engineering, or related field (MBA or advanced degree preferred).
  • 8+ years in supply chain, procurement, and/or operations, with at least 3 years in a leadership role within solar, renewables, or adjacent energy sectors.
  • Deep understanding of residential solar hardware (modules, inverters, racking, batteries), third-party ownership (TPO) business models, IRA-related tax credit programs (ITC, adders, transferability), Safe Harbor provisions, and FEOC / domestic content requirements.
  • Proven ability to develop supplier strategies, negotiate long-term agreements, and manage AVL qualification processes.
  • Demonstrated success in inventory management, demand planning, and logistics optimization across distributed installation networks.
  • Proficiency with ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, SAP), demand planning software, and supply chain analytics platforms.
  • Strong cross-functional leadership skills with the ability to align supply chain strategy with finance, operations, and product; excellent communication, presentation, and relationship management skills across internal and external stakeholders.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead and inspire high performing teams in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
  • Strong people leadership and organizational development skills, with experience coaching managers and emerging leaders.
  • Experience working at an early stage startup is preferred.

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.
