About Moove AV
Moove AV is the infrastructure partner purpose-built to expand autonomous vehicle fleets at scale. We manage the physical assets, vehicles, depots, and operations technology that power the next generation of urban mobility. We operate across multiple US markets today and are expanding internationally. We are a capital-intensive, operationally complex business growing at a pace that demands exceptional operational rigor and process discipline.
We're expanding globally and seeking passionate, innovative professionals to join our journey. If you're ready to be at the forefront of cutting-edge technology and help make mobility safer, more efficient, and accessible, we want to hear from you!
About the Role
As Director, Supply Chain, you will own and build out the non-vehicle supply chain function at Moove AV — procurement, purchasing, inventory, and vendor management — across all business units and markets. This is a tactical, hands-on leadership role: you will design the processes, policies, and systems that don’t fully exist yet, stand up formal RFP and competitive sourcing cycles, and negotiate the contracts and terms that will scale with the business.
You will report to the Head of Finance, and lead a team covering purchasing, inventory & receiving, and vendor relations & contracts. You will partner closely with Finance/AP, Operations, Legal, and the Head of Vehicle Procurement & Strategic Sourcing. This is an excellent opportunity for a builder who wants to stand up a supply chain organization from the ground up at a fast-scaling, capital-intensive business.
What You'll Be DoingProcess & Program Design
- Design and implement formal, scalable procurement processes, policies, and approval workflows across all entities and markets (US, UK, and beyond).
- Build the purchase order lifecycle end to end — requisition, approval routing, issuance, and three-way match with receiving and AP.
- Establish supply chain governance and controls appropriate for an audited, multi-entity organization; document SOPs and train the business on them.
Strategic Sourcing & RFP Management
- Stand up and run recurring RFP / competitive bid cycles for non-vehicle spend categories (facilities, equipment, MRO, software, professional services, logistics, and other indirect spend).
- Develop sourcing strategies and category plans; define evaluation criteria and lead cross-functional bid evaluations.
- Negotiate pricing, terms, and service levels with vendors, balancing cost, quality, and delivery risk.
Contract Negotiation & Vendor Management
- Negotiate and structure master service agreements (MSAs), statements of work, and renewals; optimize payment terms, pricing tiers, and rebate/volume structures.
