More Than Just a Startup, We're a Mission-Driven Force We're not your average tech startup. We're targeting the 3 billion people in the Global South who lack access to reliable transportation, hindering their economic opportunities. Our innovative electric OX trucks are changing the game. Building a Brighter Future, One Sustainable Delivery at a Time The lack of transport infrastructure leads to food spoilage and limited economic growth for farmers and entrepreneurs across the Global South. OX Delivers is building a self-reinforcing cycle of economic empowerment and social impact, starting with markets across Africa. The Heart of Our Mission: Technology with Impact The heart of what we do is technology: the OX truck and the supporting digital ecosystem. The OX truck is the world’s first electric truck purpose-built for dirt roads which enables profitable logistics. Its simple design is focussed on total lifetime costs, in-market repairability and serviceability, and for manufacture in local markets. The project The focus will be on securing the parts we need to meet our ambitious targets for truck production next year. You’ll be supporting our Architecture team with the procurement of all parts, materials, components and services. You’ll need to work closely with our engineering teams to identify the optimal solutions based on the learnings from these trucks. Some of our parts are donors from other manufacturers and some are made specifically for the OX trucks. You’ll work to reduce the cost of donor parts by finding new suppliers and ensuring that where we have to build from scratch we are doing it in the most efficient way. You’ll also need to negotiate contracts and resolve any queries around price, quality, delivery, and invoicing.

Additionally, we’ll want to understand how you research and evaluate new suppliers to ensure that you are building the best value relationships for your clients.
