ABOUT THE JOB

The Tactical Recon and Strike (TRS) division is seeking a highly experienced and exceptionally driven Supply Chain leader to serve as our Head of Divisional Supply Chain. This is a critical, standalone hire designed to be both a strategic leader and a highly hands-on operational executor capable of stepping into challenging situations and driving immediate, measurable impact. We are looking for a leader who can thrive in ambiguity, build structure from scratch, and stabilize and scale our operations. You will be instrumental in laying foundational processes and systems.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

As the Head of Divisional Supply Chain, you will be responsible for overseeing end-to-end supply chain operations across the TRS division, with a dual focus on internal operational infrastructure and the external supplier ecosystem. Your primary objective will be to build a scalable, disciplined, and predictable supply chain capable of supporting long-term production growth and increasing customer demand. In the role you can expect to:

  • Inventory & Warehouse Management: Establish strong inventory controls, enhance warehouse operational rigor, ensure material traceability, and drive accuracy through improved reconciliation, tracking, and cycle count discipline to prevent production disruptions.
  • Supplier Management & Strategic Sourcing: Own end-to-end supplier strategy, including qualification, performance management, risk mitigation, and cultivating strategic partnerships. Vet, develop, and invest in both domestic and global suppliers to ensure accountability, alignment, and scalability.
  • Planning & Forecasting: Significantly strengthen operational planning, demand forecasting, and material readiness, transitioning from reactive to proactive systems. Enhance cross-functional coordination and long-lead material visibility.
  • Financial & Resource Management: Manage the financial levers of the supply chain, optimizing resource allocation and driving operational efficiency to maximize production scalability and execution.

  • Experience with both domestic and global supply chain strategies, including vetting suppliers at a local level.
  • Exceptional cross-functional influence and communication skills, comfortable partnering with Manufacturing, Engineering, Program Management, Operations, Finance, and Business Line Leadership.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

  • MBA or Master’s degree in supply chain, engineering, or related technical field
  • Previous experience in implementing ERP systems as they relate to supply chain (ex., supplier portal, warehouse management system...etc.).
