Aviation faces an existential crisis due to its climate impact, with no apparent roadmap for meaningful carbon reduction, let alone meeting Paris Agreement emissions targets. That is where Universal Hydrogen (UH2) comes into play. Our company is working to create revolutionary technology and supply chain infrastructure that will allow hydrogen to be used all over the world as a means of decarbonizing the transportation industry. In order to do this we are looking to hire a strategic supply chain manager that has a passion for working with engineering, operations, and partners to solve critical problems, including UH2's make vs. buy strategy, and our production and manufacturing sourcing. You will play a critical role in streamlining the transition from product development to mass production of our modules, ensuring efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness throughout the process. This is a unique opportunity to use your skills and vision to help build the future of hydrogen and combat the climate crisis.
