Miramar - Florida, USA | Full-time

About Ontic Miramar

Miramar is Ontic's dedicated US MRO hub and our first purpose-built MRO Center of Excellence. Opened in 2025, the 64,000 sq ft Florida facility brings together our US MRO teams, equipment and processes in one specialist operation.

Our focus is on providing the precision, speed and reliability operators need to keep critical aerospace components - and the aircraft that rely on them - flying.

Joining Miramar means becoming part of a growing specialist team with the opportunity to help shape the future of MRO at Ontic while delivering work that makes a real difference to customers around the world.

The opportunity

We're looking for a Procurement Director to join our Miramar team, reporting to the General Manager. You'll lead the end-to-end material flow supporting our MRO operation, with accountability across Supply Chain, Material and Production Planning, and Warehouse functions.

You'll establish scalable processes that turn customer demand and work in progress into executable production plans, material availability, on-time shipments and revenue, while improving turnaround time.

This is a role with broad ownership across the operation, working closely with Operations, Engineering, Quality, Customer Service, Finance and Trade Compliance to solve material and technical constraints and strengthen how we plan, source and move material through the business.

What you'll be doing

• Lead Supply Chain across sourcing, procurement, supplier management, expediting, shortage recovery, supplier onboarding, purchase-order execution and supplier performance.
• Own Material and Production Planning, translating backlog, customer priorities, shop capacity, material availability and contractual requirements into executable monthly and weekly production plans.
• Lead Warehouse operations across receiving, inventory control, stockroom activity, material issue and return, cycle counting, preservation, segregation and traceability.
• Build and maintain a disciplined Clear-to-Build process, identifying material requirements for repair orders and establishing credible full-material dates for constrained units.
• Lead supplier recovery for long-lead, obsolete, no-market and high-risk components, working cross-functionally on approved solutions to remove constraints.
• Provide leadership visibility into material-driven revenue risk, purchasing commitments, inventory exposure, shortages, supplier recovery, production-plan attainment and warehouse constraints.
• Develop the Supply Chain, Planning and Warehouse leadership teams through clear accountability, succession planning, performance management, coaching and capability development.

What you'll bring

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Operations, Business, Engineering or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and directly relevant aerospace experience.
• 10+ years of progressive experience across Supply Chain, Procurement, Planning, Materials or Operations, including significant leadership responsibility.
• Experience leading multiple functions such as Purchasing, Planning, Materials, Warehouse, Inventory Control, Shipping and Receiving.
• Proven experience managing high-mix/low-volume material demand, repair-order shortages, long-lead components, obsolete parts and supplier recovery in a time-critical environment.
• Strong experience in supplier negotiation, sourcing, contracting, escalation and performance management, alongside experience using ERP/MRP systems and operational data.
• Desirable: Aerospace/aviation MRO experience, including working knowledge of FAA 14 CFR Part 145 and AS9110 requirements and aerospace material controls.
• Desirable: Syteline experience and an MBA, advanced supply-chain degree, APICS/ASCM (CPIM/CSCP), CPSM or Lean/Six Sigma certification.
