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). This role is accountable for creating one integrated operating model across the two sites, strengthening purchasing and supplier-management processes, improving material flow, reducing supply risk, and ensuring the right material is available at the right time, quantity, quality, and total cost.

The position partners closely with site leadership, Materials and Planning, Operations, Quality, Engineering, Finance, Customer Service, and enterprise supply-chain resources. Success requires a hands-on, data-driven leader who can stabilize daily execution while building scalable processes, talent, supplier capability, and long-term supply resilience.

Key Responsibilities

PSI and CUU Supply Leadership

• Lead supply management across PSI (Simi Valley, CA) and CUU (Chihuahua, MX), aligning priorities, standard work, metrics, and escalation paths.
• 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.

Sourcing, Procurement, and Supplier Performance

• Develop and execute sourcing strategies for raw materials, castings, machined components, outside processing, MRO, and other critical categories.
• Lead supplier selection, negotiation, contracting support, performance management, development, and risk mitigation with Strategic Sourcing and Quality.
• Set supplier expectations and recovery plans for delivery, quality, lead time, capacity, responsiveness, and cost.
• Improve supplier OTD, past-due performance, lead times, cost productivity, and continuity of supply.
• 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.

Job Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, Operations, or a related field.
• 10+ years of progressive experience in supply chain, procurement, materials, sourcing, supplier management, or manufacturing operations.
• 5+ years of leadership experience managing teams, cross-functional execution, and complex business priorities.
• Proven experience leading multi-site supply-chain activities in a manufacturing environment.
• Strong knowledge of procurement, supplier performance, material planning, inventory management, ERP/MRP systems, and working-capital drivers.
• Experience managing constrained and long-lead supply, supplier recovery, and complex material flows.
• Demonstrated success using data, KPIs, and structured problem solving to improve delivery, inventory, cost, and supplier performance.
• Ability to influence across functions, sites, cultures, and organizational levels, with strong executive communication skills.
• Strategic leader with strong enterprise thinking, operational discipline, commercial acumen, and data-driven decision-making.
• Proven people leader who develops talent, drives change, and influences stakeholders across functions, cultures, and executive levels.
• Ability to travel up to 40% between PSI and CUU and to supplier locations as business needs require.

Preferred Qualifications

• APICS/ASCM certification such as CPIM or CSCP, or supply-management certification such as CPSM.

• Experience in aerospace, defense, or another highly regulated, high-mix manufacturing environment.

• Experience with supplier development, outside processing, cross-border supply chains, and Mexico-U.S. material flows.
