Lead Material Planner

About the role

As a Material Planner, you will serve as the operational backbone of Base's manufacturing supply chain. This is a high-ownership role responsible for ensuring material availability across our vertically integrated factories while balancing inventory health, cost, and production velocity. You will not simply release POs or manage shortages reactively. You will own the end-to-end material planning strategy for critical components and assemblies - translating production plans and engineering changes into executable supply signals, driving supplier accountability, and building the planning systems and processes required to scale manufacturing at Base Pace. This role sits at the intersection of Manufacturing, Engineering, Procurement, Quality, and Finance, and is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, thinks in systems, and is energized by building durable infrastructure from first principles.
