About the role

Program Manager responsible for defining and operating the supply chain strategy for a first-of-kind autonomous aircraft program, with focus on supply risk, resilience, supplier performance, and cross-functional execution across development to rate.

Responsibilities

  • Work with Supply Chain leadership to set and own the supply chain strategy that takes a first of kind autonomous aircraft from development to rate, spanning supply assurance, supply-base resilience, and sourcing innovation
  • Build supply risk intelligence into a system by identifying single points of failure across critical, long-lead, and sole-source parts, then embed actionable insight into sourcing and production decisions
  • Own supplier performance and time-to-resolution on disruptions mechanisms, driving sourcing strategy to reduce single-points-of-failure on the parts that gate delivery or rate
  • Translate strategy into prioritized roadmaps and measurable outcomes, then drive cross-functional decisions when supply, engineering, quality and production priorities conflict
  • Build and operationalize an innovation pipeline of supplier pilots, partnerships, and new capabilities that strengthen supply continuity and long-term cost position
  • Connect supplier performance and supply risk to unit cost and the integrated master schedule, so supply chain health is visible in program level financial and schedule KPIs
  • Define which supply metrics drive decisions versus which report status, building leading indicator systems that enable early intervention
  • Leverage quantitative models, including trade studies, sensitivity analysis, and predictive modeling, to inform sourcing strategy and resource allocation
  • Prepare analysis, documentation, and briefings for internal teams, suppliers, customers, and government stakeholders

Qualifications

  • 6+ years in supply chain strategy, sourcing, or supply program management on complex hardware programs through development and production
  • Demonstrated ownership of supply risk and supplier performance on programs with aggressive timelines and rapid scale
  • Proven ability to lead cross-functional transformation without direct authority
  • Experience building supply chain capabilities or program management systems from scratch in environments without an established playbook
  • Ability to translate complex supply and cost data into actionable strategy and clear prioritization
  • Comfortable building or interpreting quantitative models to inform sourcing and program decisions
  • Familiar with version control, scripting, scalable workflows, and reproducible analysis practices
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
