Position Overview

The Senior Manager, Supply Management leads the end-to-end supply management strategy and execution for PSI (Simi Valley, CA) and CUU (Chihuahua, MX).

Key Responsibilities

PSI and CUU Supply Leadership

• Establish a cross-site operating rhythm linking demand, purchasing, supplier commitments, production requirements, intercompany flow, and customer priorities.
• Serve as the senior escalation point for shortages, supplier constraints, late material, quality holds, outside processing, and cross-border flow issues.
• Balance immediate recovery with sustainable process improvements across both sites.

• Ensure buyers and expeditors maintain accurate purchase-order dates, priorities, acknowledgments, and escalation records in the ERP system.

Material Availability and Cross-Site Flow

• Own supply execution supporting build plans, production schedules, shipment commitments, and revenue objectives at PSI and CUU.
• Improve purchased and intercompany material flow among CUU, PSI, outside processors, and suppliers, including direct-purchase and direct-ship opportunities.
• Partner with Planning and Operations to identify shortages early, define recovery actions, and communicate business impacts and trade-offs.
• Partner with Quality and Engineering to accelerate corrective actions, receiving dispositions, rework, deviations, and qualifications without compromising compliance.
• Maintain contingency plans for sole-source, long-lead, constrained, and high-risk materials.

Inventory and Working Capital

• Optimize inventory across raw materials, purchased components, WIP interfaces, outside processing, and intercompany supply.
• Drive disciplined reviews of excess and obsolete inventory, safety stock, order quantities, lead times, purchase-price variance, and supplier stocking strategies.
• Partner with Finance and site leadership to improve inventory turns, reduce aged and inactive inventory, and maintain effective material-transaction controls.
• Establish governance for cycle-count findings, blocked or nonconforming material, and supplier-related inventory exposure.

Operating System, Analytics, and Continuous Improvement

• Establish a cross-site scorecard and tiered review cadence for delivery, shortages, past due, supplier quality, inventory, cost, and recovery actions.
• Use ERP data, dashboards, and structured problem solving to identify root causes, prioritize work, and accelerate decisions and accountability.
• Lead kaizen events, value-stream analysis, process standardization, and digital improvements that simplify purchasing and material flow.
• Support SIOP, annual operating planning, capacity reviews, and business reviews with clear supply assumptions, risks, scenarios, and actions.

Leadership and Talent Development

• Lead, coach, and develop supply management team members supporting PSI and CUU, including buyers, expeditors, receiving and outside-processing interfaces, and assigned resources.
• Set clear goals and decision rights, conduct performance and development discussions, and build succession and capability plans.
• Implement standard work and cross-training to reduce key-person dependency and strengthen coverage across sites and categories.
• Foster a culture of safety, quality, urgency, transparency, inclusion, and continuous improvement.

Compliance and Governance

• Ensure purchasing and supplier-management activities follow company policies, delegated authority, quality-system requirements, customer obligations, and applicable trade and export-control requirements.
• Partner with Quality to maintain supplier controls appropriate for a highly regulated aerospace environment.
• Protect confidential information and maintain accurate records supporting internal, customer, and regulatory audits.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
