You will be responsible for building the procurement organization, managing strategic supplier relationships, and negotiating long-term agreements while ensuring compliance with FAR/DFARS and ITAR regulations. Your daily work involves making make-vs-buy decisions, qualifying new suppliers to build a resilient supply base, and performing should-cost modeling to drive cost reductions. You will manage risks related to long-lead materials and sole-source dependencies while collaborating with engineering and production teams. The role requires expertise in subcontracts, material planning, and inventory operations within the aerospace and defense sector. Essential skills include complex negotiation, cross-functional leadership, and the ability to navigate regulated manufacturing environments to support full-rate production for advanced defense technologies.

  • Negotiate long-term agreements and manage executive-level relationships with key suppliers and subcontractors.
  • Oversee subcontract administration to ensure compliance with FAR/DFARS, ITAR, and company requirements.
  • Lead make-vs-buy decisions and conduct technical qualifications for new suppliers of complex components.
  • Build a diversified supply base to mitigate risks from long-lead materials and sole-source dependencies.
  • Drive cost reductions through competitive sourcing, should-cost modeling, and design-for-manufacturability collaboration.
  • Recruit, mentor, and develop a high-performing procurement team while establishing standard processes and metrics.
  • Align procurement decisions with program milestones, budget constraints, and strategic priorities across cross-functional teams.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, or a related field.
  • 8+ years of progressive supply chain experience.
  • At least 3 years of experience in a management or team lead role (preferred: aerospace & defense, propulsion, or regulated manufacturing).
  • Strong background in procurement, subcontracts, material planning, and warehouse/inventory operations.
  • Knowledge of FAR/DFARS, ITAR, and defense contracting practices.
  • Proven ability to lead complex negotiations regarding cost, schedule, and quality.
  • Experience optimizing supply chain processes during high growth or production ramps.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
