Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Green-card filing pattern in this occupation

Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 11 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.

Green-card follow-through: 80%

Of 10 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 2 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 492 days.100% of their filings were for a worker who already held the job.Only certifications past the 180-day window are counted — recent ones cannot have expired yet.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • The role carries approximately $1.2B in annual spend today.
  • As Fluence converts contracted backlog and pipeline into deployed capacity, that portfolio is expected to exceed $5B in annual spend within three years.
  • Scaling the function to carry that volume is the central mandate of this role.

Responsibilities

  • Organizational Design and Scale
  • Build process and systems capability that scales faster than headcount, so that growth in spend does not require proportional growth in team size.
  • Own and evolve the multiyear category strategy across the full portfolio, including commodity segmentation, make or buy decisions, and regional supply balance.
  • Architect a globally diversified and regionalized supplier base that is resilient to geopolitical exposure and single source risk, and that holds the physical capacity to support Fluence volume three to five years forward.
  • Own the cost structure for the portfolio and deliver aggressive year over year cost reduction, with direct and quantifiable accountability for COGS and gross margin improvement.

Requirements

  • Direct experience negotiating and closing complex multiyear Tier 1 agreements, including non recurring engineering, volume commitments, and performance terms.
  • The supplier base, commercial structure, organization design, and cost discipline required at $5B differ materially from what supports the business today.
  • 15-20+ years in direct materials, category management, strategic sourcing, or supply chain leadership, including 10+ years leading multiple layers of an organization within technology hardware, energy storage, renewable energy, automotive or EV, or complex industrial manufacturing.
  • Ownership of at least $500M in annual direct materials spend, with direct accountability for COGS and gross margin outcomes.
  • Demonstrated experience scaling a portfolio and an organization through rapid growth. Experience taking spend through a step change of 2x or more is strongly preferred.
  • A verifiable record of sustained year over year cost reduction on a growing spend base, with the results traceable to gross margin rather than to cost avoidance.
  • Technical depth in power electronics, high voltage equipment, enclosures and balance of plant, contract manufacturing, and complex electromechanical supply chains, sufficient to engage personally in specification, should cost teardown, and bill of materials level discussion rather than reviewing summaries.
  • Strong financial acumen acro

Nice to have

Compensation

  • Design and build the direct materials organization required to carry the portfolio from its current level to more than $5B in annual spend. Own org design, job architecture, headcount planning, and the build, buy, or develop decision for each seat.
