Global Supply Chain Manager

Secret clearance

Behind every "can't fail" mission is a supplier who delivered. You're the one who makes sure they do.

A radar program is racing toward a milestone. A critical RF component is running behind. A subcontract worth millions sits at the center of it all, with compliance clauses to honor, a supplier to negotiate with, and a program manager waiting on answers. Your team is already working the problem.

You step in, align the stakeholders, and turn a risk into a plan. The mission stays on schedule because the supply chain behind it held. That's a day in the life of a Manager, Global Supply Chain at Leidos.
