Position: Sourcing Category Manager – Battery Energy Storage
Location: Denver, CO
Work Schedule: Hybrid – onsite Tuesday through Thursday; remote Monday and Friday
Position Type: Contract (12-Months)
We are seeking an experienced Strategic Sourcing & Category Manager to support sourcing and contracting initiatives within the rapidly growing battery energy storage space.
This position will play a key role in managing complex supplier agreements, leading strategic sourcing events, and collaborating with internal stakeholders to support procurement and category strategies. The ideal candidate will have strong experience with contract negotiation, strategic sourcing, category management, and the full RFP/RFI/RFQ lifecycle.
This is an individual contributor role that requires someone who can independently manage multiple priorities while working closely with sourcing managers, category managers, internal business partners, leadership, suppliers, and vendors.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and support strategic sourcing activities related to battery energy storage initiatives.
- Manage the full lifecycle of RFPs, RFIs, and RFQs, including planning, execution, supplier evaluation, negotiation, and contract award.
- Negotiate and manage a variety of supplier agreements, including master service agreements, project-specific contracts, material agreements, service agreements, and related commercial terms.
- Partner with internal stakeholders to develop sourcing strategies that align with business and category objectives.
- Evaluate supplier pricing, lead times, commercial terms, capabilities, and overall value.
- Manage multiple contracts and sourcing initiatives simultaneously while maintaining strong attention to detail.
- Work directly with suppliers and vendors throughout sourcing and negotiation processes.
- Support procurement activities involving both equipment and services.
- Identify and evaluate risks associated with supply chain conditions, tariffs, geopolitical considerations, and supplier structures when applicable.
- Collaborate with sourcing and category management team members to support ongoing battery storage initiatives.
- Bachelor’s degree.
- Strong experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, or category management.
- Demonstrated experience negotiating and managing complex contracts.
- Hands-on experience leading RFP, RFI, and RFQ processes from start to finish.
- Experience with structured strategic sourcing methodologies, such as a seven-step sourcing process.
- Category management experience with an understanding of supplier pricing, lead times, commercial terms, and contract structures.
- Procurement experience involving both equipment and services.
- Ability to explain and evaluate different contract structures and negotiation strategies.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively with stakeholders at multiple levels of an organization.
- Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
- Ability to manage multiple sourcing events, contracts, and priorities simultaneously.
- Self-motivated and comfortable taking initiative in a fast-paced environment.
- Experience within the utility or energy industry.
- Experience sourcing or procuring battery energy storage systems or related technologies.
- Experience working with power equipment manufacturers or OEMs.
- Global OEM or supplier experience.
- Understanding of tariffs, geopolitical considerations, foreign ownership issues, and supply chain complexities.
- Experience negotiating sophisticated supplier agreements involving equipment, services, performance requirements, or guarantees.
The ideal candidate comes from a strategic sourcing or category management background and has experience owning sourcing initiatives rather than focusing primarily on transactional procurement.
Candidates with experience in utilities, energy, power equipment, battery storage, or major OEM environments will be especially relevant. However, candidates from other industries may also be considered if they bring strong strategic sourcing, contract negotiation, and category management experience.
This role is best suited for someone who can confidently discuss:
- How they have led an RFP, RFI, or RFQ from initial strategy through supplier selection and award.
- Their approach to negotiating complex commercial agreements.
- Specific contract terms they have successfully negotiated.
- How they evaluate and compare suppliers.
- How they develop and execute category or sourcing strategies.
- How they manage several contracts and sourcing initiatives at the same time.
