About the role
As Capital Equipment Commodity Manager at True Anomaly, you will own the strategy, sourcing, and supplier relationships for the capital equipment and tooling that power our manufacturing and test operations.

- Demonstrated ability to lead complex, high-value sourcing events and negotiate capital equipment contracts with favorable commercial outcomes
- Experience managing long-lead procurement in a manufacturing, aerospace, defense, or industrial environment

- Ability to read and interpret technical specifications and equipment requirements in order to engage credibly with engineering stakeholders and suppliers
- Skilled negotiator with experience structuring milestone-based payment terms, warranties, and acceptance criteria
