The Head of Electrical Strategic Supply Chain is a Director leadership role responsible for architecting and executing the sourcing strategy across all electrical commodities. You will lead a high-performing team of commodity managers and technical sourcing engineers to build a resilient supply chain for mission-critical hardware. Day-to-day responsibilities include managing semiconductors, custom wire harnesses, connectors, PCBAs, and passive components while navigating complex geopolitical landscapes and regulated defense channels. You will partner with engineering teams to drive design for supply chain initiatives, conduct should-cost modeling, and negotiate master service agreements with global manufacturers. The role requires expertise in New Product Introduction workflows, TCO analysis, and risk mitigation strategies. Key technical competencies include managing diverse electronics portfolios, ensuring component qualification, and securing supply continuity against market volatility within the defense technology sector to move products from prototype to high-volume production.

What you'll do

  • Develop and execute global sourcing strategies for all electrical components including semiconductors, PCBs, and wire harnesses.
  • Build and lead a high-performing team of commodity managers and technical sourcing engineers across multiple sites.
  • Serve as the executive sponsor for Tier 1 suppliers and contract manufacturers to establish long-term strategic alliances.
  • Partner with engineering teams to drive "Design for Supply Chain" initiatives and component standardization during early development.
  • Lead high-stakes negotiations for master service agreements, pricing structures, and complex statement of works.
  • Identify and mitigate supply chain risks such as single-source dependencies and geopolitical vulnerabilities.
  • Conduct "should-cost" modeling and total cost of ownership analyses to optimize value across the product lifecycle.
  • Serve as the primary executive escalation point for critical supply chain matters with C-suite leadership.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Engineering, Operations, Business, or a related technical discipline.
  • 10+ years of experience in electrical & electronics strategic sourcing, global commodity management, or supply chain leadership.
  • 5+ years of experience building, managing, and scaling high-performing procurement or supply chain teams.
  • Demonstrated expertise negotiating enterprise-level agreements and managing diverse commodity portfolios like complex electronics and custom chips.
  • Proven track record of managing supplier lifecycles and negotiating multi-million-dollar commercial agreements.
  • Deep understanding of New Product Introduction (NPI) workflows from prototype to high-rate production.
  • Ability to travel between 25% and 50% domestically and internationally as needed.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Security clearance.
