- Utilize expertise in battery manufacturing processes (e.g., electrode coating, calendering, winding/stacking, electrolyte filling, formation, aging, pack assembly, welding, BMS integration, safety testing) to assess supplier capabilities, resolve capacity constraints, and validate cost dependencies
- Apply analytical problem-solving to SPOR (Supplier Plan of Record) decisions and complex supply chain issues related to battery sourcing, including multi-source strategies and cell qualification trade-offs
- Lead negotiations for purchase agreements, NRE, capacity reservation, and long-term supply contracts to secure optimal terms and ensure supplier accountability for program deliverables across the battery supply base
- Champion cost reduction programs utilizing should-cost models, raw material indexing (Li, Co, Ni, graphite), and data analytics tailored to cell and pack manufacturing
- Create and implement contingency plans for scalability challenges, lead times, single-source dependencies, raw material volatility, and geopolitical risks in the battery supply chain
- Initiate and execute capacity planning, supplier resourcing, and mass production plans for new products across all lifecycle phases (NPI, MP, sustaining, EOL), with a focus on battery cells and packs
- Develop systems for measuring supplier performance (quality, delivery, cost, technology, responsiveness) and conduct regular business reviews with battery cell and pack suppliers
- Build executive-level relationships with cell suppliers, align on objectives, and articulate a strategic vision to foster growth and innovation in the battery domain
- Mentor and provide technical/commercial guidance to GSMs across the battery commodity team
- Travel (20%-30%) internationally — primarily to APAC supplier sites — and work across time zones to support global battery supply chain activities
Minimum Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in chemical engineering, materials science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, supply chain management, business, or equivalent practical experience

- Experience in supplier evaluation/selection, should-cost modeling, contract negotiation, and supply base management for batteries or comparable high-complexity commodities
- Experience with cost drivers and experience building bottoms-up or should-cost models for battery cells and packs (including raw material, bill-of-process, and capex amortization)
- Proficiency in Microsoft Excel to run supply modeling and analysis
Preferred Qualifications:
- Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
- Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
- Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
- Experience ramping high-volume consumer electronics or wearable products with battery content

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as a Strategic Sourcing Manager
Match your degree to the role
PERM job requirements must align with your actual credentials. If the employer lists a bachelor's in supply chain management or business as the minimum, your foreign degree in a related field needs to be evaluated for U.S. equivalency before the labor certification process begins.
Target employers with PERM filing history
Search DOL OFLC disclosure data for companies that have filed PERM applications for Strategic Sourcing Manager or similar procurement titles. Employers with established filing history already have the internal HR and legal infrastructure to sponsor you efficiently.
Distinguish EB-2 and EB-3 eligibility early
EB-2 requires an advanced degree or equivalent specialized experience, while EB-3 covers professionals with a bachelor's. Clarify which category applies to you before negotiating sponsorship with an employer so your offer letter and job description reflect the correct classification from day one.
Address the prevailing wage requirement upfront
Your employer must pay at or above the DOL prevailing wage for your role and location. Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up Level I through Level IV wage determinations for Strategic Sourcing Manager before your offer conversation, so compensation expectations are aligned before PERM is filed.
Find sponsoring employers through Migrate Mate
Searching broadly wastes time on employers who have never sponsored a green card. Migrate Mate filters Strategic Sourcing Manager openings by employers with active green card sponsorship history, so you're applying to companies already set up to file PERM and I-140 on your behalf.
Prepare for the PERM audit documentation window
DOL audits a portion of PERM applications and requires employers to produce recruitment records within 30 days. Ask your prospective employer whether their legal team retains a full recruitment file, including job posting logs and applicant review documentation, before the audit clock starts.
Green Card Strategic Sourcing Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Strategic Sourcing Manager role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship?
Both categories can apply. EB-3 covers professionals with a bachelor's degree in supply chain management, business, or a related field. EB-2 applies if the role requires an advanced degree or if you can demonstrate a combination of advanced education and substantial specialized experience in strategic procurement. The employer's job requirements and your credentials together determine which category fits.
How is green card sponsorship different from H-1B for this role?
Green card sponsorship through PERM targets permanent residency, not a temporary status. There is no annual cap or lottery at the EB-3 level for most nationalities, unlike the H-1B visa which is subject to a randomized selection process. PERM requires the employer to conduct a full recruitment campaign to demonstrate no qualified U.S. worker is available, which adds several months to the timeline but leads to a permanent result rather than a two- or three-year visa stamp.
How long does the PERM and green card process typically take for a sourcing role?
The PERM labor certification alone currently averages over a year at DOL due to analyst review backlogs. After PERM is certified, your employer files an I-140 immigrant petition with USCIS, which takes additional months. If your priority date is current, you can then file for adjustment of status. For applicants from India or China, per-country backlogs can add years beyond these standard timelines.
What documents should I prepare before asking an employer to sponsor my green card?
Gather a foreign credential evaluation confirming your degree is equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's or master's, depending on your target category. Compile employment verification letters that clearly state your job titles, responsibilities, and dates, especially if you're relying on specialized experience for EB-2 eligibility. Having these ready before formal sponsorship discussions makes the employer's legal team's job easier and signals you understand the process.
How do I find Strategic Sourcing Manager jobs that include green card sponsorship?
Most job postings don't specify green card sponsorship, which makes filtering difficult without the right tools. Migrate Mate identifies Strategic Sourcing Manager openings from employers with documented green card sponsorship history through DOL PERM data, so you can focus your applications on companies that are already set up to support the full EB-2 or EB-3 process rather than discovering late in negotiations that sponsorship isn't available.
