Strategic Supply Chain, Industrial Base Operations is a key strategic and operational role responsible for architecting, implementing, and governing priority rating frameworks (e.g., DPAS) and defense supply chain resilience across the enterprise. As the company scales rapidly to support mission-critical defense programs, safeguarding material availability and accelerating delivery timelines are paramount. In this role, you will serve as the enterprise operational authority ensuring defense priority requirements are seamlessly integrated into procurement, ERP/MRP workflows, supplier contracts, and program delivery schedules.

Partnering across Supply Chain, Program Management, Contracts, Legal, Engineering, and Government Relations, you will bridge the gap between high-level defense policy and tactical shop-floor execution—mitigating supply risk and strengthening our enterprise operating posture.
