Senior Director Supply Chain

Job Summary: The Sr.

Director, Supply Chain (Electronic Systems) provides strategic leadership and governance across Material Program Management (MPM), Procurement, Materials & Logistics, and Planning.

The role establishes the operating cadence, policies, and enabling systems that ensure material availability, cost, inventory, and schedule performance.

The Sr.

Director ensures a single voice to suppliers through Procurement, sustains schedule integrity as the plan of record through MPS, and empowers MPM as the single point of accountability for material outcomes.

This position leads a multi-site team (~50+) and partners with Engineering, Operations, Quality, Finance, and Program Management to meet customer and business commitments

Responsibilities and Tasks:


* Evaluate and mature the Material Operating Model across Electronic Systems; maintain role clarity and separation of duties (MPM owns material outcomes; MPS owns the production plan; Procurement owns the supplier; Planners and Production Planners execute; Materials & Logistics owns physical flow).


* Establish governance cadences: Daily shortage control, Weekly risk review, Monthly EAC, and formal Program Reviews; ensure actions and decisions follow the published RACI.


* Own divisional supply chain strategy and policy (commodity strategies, LTA framework, supplier segmentation, dual-sourcing, and cost roadmap) while ensuring Procurement is the single execution voice to suppliers for commercial matters.

Ensure corporate policies and procedures are trained to and followed as part of broader Contractor Purchasing System Review (CPSR) by DCMA and procurement excellence.


* Lead MPM to deliver material availability, inventory health (DRIOH, turns, E&O), and program EAC; empower tradeoff decisions and prioritization.


* Lead MPS to sustain schedule integrity and feasibility; protect the plan-of-record and drive finite scheduling discipline.


* Drive Planning excellence (MRP data quality, demand translation, PO maintenance, commit alignment) and Production Planning (WO release and shop-floor sequencing).


* Institutionalize shortage prevention and recovery (tiered escalation, expedite standards, recovery planning) and reduce firefighting through proactive constraint identification.


* Oversee Materials & Logistics performance (inventory accuracy, warehouse efficiency, material movement, kitting, shipping).


* Sponsor Supplier Quality problem-solving (SCARs, containment, corrective actions) with SQE ownership of technical compliance.


* Align cross-functional decision-making with Finance for EAC validation, PPV governance, and cost reduction portfolio delivery.


* Develop leaders and talent pipelines; set standards for behaviors, escalation hygiene, and decision rights.

Education, Experience, License, or Certification:


* 12+ years in Aerospace & Defense supply chain leading multi-site teams and large-scale transformations.
