Supply Chain Manager

Build the supply chain function from the ground up at a deep-tech metrology startup
Work at the frontier of semiconductor manufacturing technology

Invisix is at a pivotal stage. The technology is proven, the team is growing, and now we need the infrastructure to match. As our first Supply Chain Manager, you will own the entire supplier base and procurement function, building the processes, relationships and frameworks that will underpin how we operate as we scale.

This is not a role where you slot into an existing team. You will be the go‑to person for every commercial and sourcing decision across the business, working directly with engineers, leadership and operations. The people you work with are highly technical and the components are specialist.

The role reports to the COO, and in the early stages you will work closely together to build out the processes, supplier relationships and commercial frameworks that the business needs as it scales.

Key responsibilities:

Build the supply chain function from scratch, creating the processes, frameworks and supplier relationships that will underpin how Invisix operates as it scales

Own supplier selection across a highly specialist, technical component landscape spanning optics, lasers, mechatronics, electronics and mechanics, with a clear eye on which partners can follow the business into volume production

Lead commercial negotiations with suppliers and service providers, managing contracts through their full lifecycle

Build credibility and trusted working relationships across a highly technical team, becoming the person people bring commercial and sourcing questions to from the start

Manage hands‑on purchasing activity for equipment, materials and prototype components, keeping oversight of orders and delivery status

About you:

Solid background in supply chain, sourcing or procurement within the semiconductor or high‑tech equipment industry – essential

Master's degree in engineering, supply chain management or a related discipline, or equivalent extensive industry experience

Understand how the semiconductor ecosystem operates: its pace of change, supplier dynamics and commercial pressures

Experience managing supplier relationships and leading commercial negotiations, with a track record of making sound decisions under complexity

Experience sourcing across specialist technical components. Relevant backgrounds include optics, lasers, mechatronics and mechanics, though any combination is welcome provided the semiconductor or high‑tech equipment context is there; experience at a metrology or precision equipment company is a further advantage

Comfortable working independently and taking ownership in an environment where things move fast and priorities shift
