Manager, Commodities Management & Operations

Redwood is localizing a global battery supply chain that seamlessly integrates recovery, reuse, and recycling — keeping critical minerals in circulation and driving the energy transition. Founded in 2017, we’re delivering low-cost and large-scale energy storage and producing battery materials in the U.S. for the first time, all from batteries we already have.

Manager, Commodities Management & Operations

The Manager, Commodities Management & Operations will lead the day-to-day operational management of Redwood’s battery-material and commodity activities. This role will ensure the accurate, efficient, and commercially aligned execution of material purchases, internal production flows, inventory movements, logistics, sales commitments, and related financial transactions.

Redwood receives end-of-life batteries and battery-containing products, recovers and refines critical minerals, and transforms those materials into products used in new battery manufacturing. Redwood may also strategically purchase, sell, and manage battery materials and commodities to support customer requirements, optimize material flows, and expand the circular battery supply chain.

This role serves as the operational connection among Commercial, Trading, Supply Chain, Logistics, Production, Finance, Accounting, Legal, Compliance, and Technology. The Manager will translate commercial agreements and commodity strategies into executable operational plans, ensuring that physical material movements, system transactions, contractual obligations, costs, and financial outcomes remain aligned.

The ideal candidate combines strong people leadership with hands-on operational capability, commercial judgment, analytical rigor, and an understanding of physical commodity or industrial-material flows. This individual should be comfortable building scalable processes in a fast-changing environment and driving issues from commercial agreement through final operational and financial resolution.
