Battery Sourcing Lead

The Role The Battery Sourcing Lead will play a critical role in building and managing Moment Energy’s battery supply network. You will identify potential sources of retired and end-of-life EV batteries, proactively develop relationships with manufacturers and other industry partners, and coordinate the movement of battery packs from source to their next destination. This role is highly relationship-driven and requires someone who is comfortable picking up the phone, cold contacting potential partners, staying informed on developments across the EV and battery industry, and identifying opportunities before they become widely available. You will work closely with our Operations, Engineering, and Leadership teams to understand our battery needs, secure supply, and ensure each battery pack is tracked and routed appropriately once it enters our network. Responsibilities and Duties Build battery supply partnerships with EV manufacturers, automotive companies, battery suppliers, recyclers, fleet operators, and other organizations that may have retired or surplus EV batteries. Proactively cold contact and develop relationships with potential battery suppliers and partners. Monitor industry news, product announcements, recalls, vehicle retirement timelines, fleet changes, and other developments to identify when battery supply may become available. Develop and maintain a pipeline of potential battery sources, tracking upcoming opportunities and key contacts. Work directly with manufacturers and partners to understand the quantity, type, condition, location, and timing of available battery packs. Coordinate with internal teams and external partners to arrange battery pickups and transportation. Organize and maintain accurate records of where each battery pack comes from, where it is going, and what happens to it throughout the process. Coordinate internally to determine the appropriate next destination and use of each battery pack based on its condition, specifications, and Moment Energy's operational needs. Build repeatable processes for battery sourcing, intake, tracking, and handoff as our supply network scales. Maintain strong relationships with existing battery suppliers to support recurring and long-term supply. Collaborate with Engineering and Operations to understand upcoming battery requirements and align sourcing activities with production and development needs. Identify opportunities to expand Moment Energy's battery sourcing network across North America. Stay current on the EV, battery, automotive, and energy storage industries to anticipate changes in battery availability and emerging sourcing opportunities. Provide regular updates on sourcing activity, upcoming supply opportunities, partnerships, and potential risks to battery availability.
