## About the role

A jet engine has a few thousand parts that need to show up on time, to spec, and ready to build. Most companies take a decade to figure out how to do that. We are doing it differently. This is not a role for someone who manages spreadsheets and sends escalation emails. You will get on planes. You will walk shop floors. You will push suppliers harder than they thought possible and know exactly when they are managing you versus when they have a real problem.

## What they're looking for

- Own the entire supply chain organization — buyers, inventory, logistics, and forward deployed manufacturing engineers — and at least double it this year
- Qualify and onboard suppliers across turbomachinery, mechanical systems, and structures. You are not inheriting a finished supply base — you are building it
- Negotiate and manage supplier relationships across the full arc: scope, quote, kickoff, first article, production, and recovery when things slip
- Structure contracts with incentives that drive the behavior you actually want — on-time delivery, quality, cost reduction. Not just terms that look good on paper
- Inform and drive the make vs. buy conversation — bring the supplier data, cost analysis, and lead time reality that the rest of the organization needs to make the right call
- Evaluate whether expanding into new geographic regions opens up capability, cost, or lead time advantages — and know how to qualify and manage suppliers in markets you haven't worked in before
