As a Senior Materials Program Manager within the Materials Management team, you will tackle high-priority initiatives to scale the physical footprint, streamline material flow, and safeguard high-value inventory for defense hardware production. You will build an analytical foundation and forward-looking strategy to de-risk the supply chain across a growing portfolio of products. Your daily responsibilities include developing material management strategies based on first principles, modeling risks from sub-tier suppliers and geopolitical dynamics, and creating tools or dashboards to monitor critical metrics. You will partner with executives to translate complex problems into actionable plans regarding inventory, ERP/WMS integration, and federal compliance. The role requires strong analytical aptitude using Excel and other data tools to manage manufacturing and supply chain operations while ensuring production meets specific quality, cost, and schedule requirements for advanced defense systems.

  • Build analytical models to monitor inventory levels, material flow, and federal compliance requirements.
  • Translate complex supply chain problems into structured analyses and actionable executive recommendations.
  • Lead cross-functional projects to ensure hardware is delivered on time, at cost, and with high quality.
  • Master ERP and MRP systems to build data-driven tools and dashboards for functional teams.
  • Partner with senior executives to facilitate decision-making regarding production costs, schedules, and resilience.
  • Create frameworks to organize and solve complex problems within a fast-paced hardware manufacturing environment.

What we're looking for

  • You must be a U.S. Person due to required access to export-controlled information or facilities.
  • You have 5+ years of experience in manufacturing, supply chain operations, or management consulting.
  • You possess strong analytical aptitude and can quickly execute analyses using Excel or other tools (preferred).
  • You are capable of building clear frameworks to structure complex problems (preferred).
  • You are a self-driven, proactive individual who takes initiative to solve problems independently (preferred).
