Position Overview  The Supply Chain Director provides executive leadership for the end-to-end strategic supply chain function in an aerospace organization (e.g., OEM, tier-1 supplier, or MRO provider). This role focuses on developing and executing long-term supply chain strategies that ensure supply continuity, drive significant cost savings, mitigate risks in a highly regulated and complex global environment, and support business growth objectives.

The position emphasizes strategic sourcing, major supplier partnerships, complex contract negotiations, commodity strategies, make-vs-buy decisions, and cross-functional alignment with engineering, programs, finance, and executive leadership. Operational logistics execution (warehousing, transportation, daily expediting) is delegated to subordinate teams or separate functions, but will regularly require the Supply Chain Director’s support.
What are your contributions to the team?
Develop and lead the overall global supply chain strategy aligned with corporate objectives, program roadmaps, financial targets, and aerospace industry dynamics (e.g., certification requirements, long-lead-time parts, geopolitical risks, and aftermarket demands).
Define and implement commodity and category strategies to achieve lowest total cost of ownership, while maintaining world-class quality, on-time delivery, and supply resilience.
Lead strategic sourcing initiatives, including identification of new suppliers, rationalization of the supply base, dual-sourcing strategies, and shifting spend to low-cost/regionally appropriate sources where feasible.
Oversee high-value, complex supplier negotiations and contract development, including long-term agreements, pricing frameworks, risk-sharing provisions, capacity commitments, quality clauses, and intellectual property protections.
Build and maintain strategic relationships with key tier-1 and tier-2 suppliers, OEM partners, and subcontractors to ensure collaborative risk management, joint continuous improvement, and alignment on technology roadmaps.
Direct make-vs-buy analyses and decisions in collaboration with engineering and program teams to optimize vertical integration vs. outsourcing.
Champion supply chain risk management, including scenario planning for single-source vulnerabilities, raw material shortages, capacity constraints, tariffs, export controls (ITAR/EAR), and disruptions in the aerospace ecosystem.
Drive cost reduction programs targeting material spend, overhead, and total lifecycle costs through negotiation leverage, value engineering, should-cost modeling, and supplier development initiatives.
Provide strategic input into new product introduction (NPI), program bids/proposals, and “should-win” strategies, including supply chain elements of customer proposals.
Lead and develop a high-performing supply chain team focused on strategic procurement, supplier performance management, and sourcing excellence.
Establish and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) on the supply chain…
