Choose the right perspective

Look for candidates who have personally chosen suppliers, managed contracts, or handled supply disruptions in battery production. Ask them to describe specific decisions they made—not general processes. Focus on what they learned when a supplier failed or when they had to change direction.

Questions to take into the conversation

  1. 01Walk me through how you evaluated a new supplier for battery components. What made you choose them over alternatives?
  2. 02Tell me about a time a supplier didn't meet your expectations. How did you handle it and what would you do differently?
  3. 03What's the biggest risk you've seen in battery supply chains, and how do you check for it when vetting new partners?
