About the Role
T1 Energy is seeking a Senior Procurement Buyer to manage global solar cell and module supply chain relationships, contract strategy, and risk mitigation. This is a senior, commercially autonomous role for an individual experienced in managing multi-million dollar procurement portfolios and structuring agreements to navigate volatile trade laws, technology shifts, and geopolitical risks.
Responsibilities
- Spearhead high-volume RFQ processes, negotiate Master Supply and Service Agreements (MSAs), and secure pricing, liquidated damages, and warranty provisions.
- Formulate supply chain architectures to minimize exposure to Section 232 tariff frameworks, AD/CVD duties, and customs holdups under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA).
- Construct comprehensive Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) models tracking polysillicon pricing trends, manufacturing localization shifts, and macro freight indicators.
- Apply deep understanding of the TOPCon solar module supply chain to inform sourcing strategy and risk management.
- Collaborate across engineering, legal, project finance, and EPC project managers to align complex production pipelines with physical field schedules.
Requirements
- A seasoned procurement professional with deep command of global solar supply chains and the commercial autonomy to own high-value portfolios end to end.
- A skilled, confident negotiator who has drafted and finalized multi-million dollar agreements with international Tier-1 companies.
- Analytically rigorous, with genuine expertise in TCO modeling, MRP logic, and strategic data modeling.
- Fluent in the regulatory landscape: trade law, tariffs, clean energy tax credits, and import/export compliance.
- A strong cross-functional partner who connects procurement strategy to engineering, legal, finance, and field execution.
- Calm and decisive under the pressure of volatile markets and shifting trade frameworks.
- Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Business Administration, an engineering discipline, or equivalent experience in solar procurement.
- 5–8+ years of advanced utility-scale solar or large-scale industrial energy procurement experience handling high-capacity portfolios.
- Demonstrated history of successfully drafting and finalizing multi-million dollar agreements directly with international Tier-1 companies.
- Deep, fluent understanding of global solar supply chains, U.S. clean energy tax credits, and active import/export regulations.
- Mastery of enterprise ERP environments, advanced MRP logic, and strategic data-modeling practices.
