Job Description - Strategic Sourcing & Planning


GA Telesis is a global leader providing integrated solutions to the aviation and aerospace industries. We serve over 2,000 customers, including airlines, original equipment manufacturers, maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) providers, and suppliers worldwide, with 31 leasing, sales, distribution, and MRO operations in 19 countries. At GA Telesis, our core business is integrated aviation solutions, and our mission is customer success. 

We are seeking a Strategic Sourcing & Planning professional who handles the forward-looking control of material availability for the MRO operation. This role is responsible for forecasting material demand, setting inventory models (min/max, safety stock), planning long-term and bulk purchases, and managing strategic supplier relationships to ensure critical parts are available when needed.
This role does not place operational day-to-day purchase orders or manage the stockroom. It provides the strategy, guardrails, and visibility that Purchasing and Operations execute against.

**Important Notice: 
 Eligibility Requirement: Only U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents will be considered for this position.

Responsibilities:
  • Forecasting what materials and spares will be needed to support maintenance and overhaul schedules
  • Defining and maintaining inventory policies (min/max, safety stock, reorder logic)
  • Planning long-term, bulk, and life-of-program buys for critical and long-lead items
  • Managing supplier relationships from a volume, lead-time, and availability perspective
  • Identifying and mitigating material risk before it impacts maintenance events
  • Representing Supply Chain in Tri-Party OEM/Customer/GA Telesis calls discussing material availability
Key Responsibilities:
Forecasting & Inventory Strategy
  • Develop and maintain material forecasts aligned to maintenance demand
  • Set and adjust inventory targets for rotables, consumables, and long-lead components
  • Balance availability, risk, and inventory investment
  • Monitor and address excess, slow-moving, and obsolete inventory
Supplier & Supply Strategy
  • Lead supplier discussions related to forecasts, capacity planning, lead times, Hardware kits and long-term commitments
  • Align suppliers to expected demand and availability requirements
  • Partner with Purchasing to support sourcing and commercial execution with forward-looking supply intelligence
Cross-Functional Leadership
  • Work closely with Purchasing, Stockroom, Program Management and Engineering
  • Provide clear material direction and priorities to execution teams
  • Act as escalation point for material availability risks and conflicts
Reporting & Visibility
  • Provide regular reporting on inventory health, coverage, shortages, and supply risk
  • Communicate upcoming constraints, long-lead risks, and provisioning mitigation plans to leadership

Qualifications:

  • Knowledge of FAA/EASA regulatory requirements impacting MRO sourcing and inventory planning

  • Hands-on experience with demand forecasting, material planning, and inventory optimization

  • Ability to analyze spend data, KPIs, and supplier performance metrics

  • Experience managing supplier relationships, including OEMs, repair vendors, and distributors

  • Familiarity with AOG support, repair turn-time (TAT), and critical parts availability

  • Strong collaboration skills with engineering, maintenance, logistics, and finance teams

  • Proficiency in ERP/MRP systems (SAP, Oracle, AMOS, Trax, or similar)

  • Experience supporting budget planning, cost control, and make-vs-buy decisions

  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, regulated environment with shifting priorities

  • Strong communication, problem-solving, and decision-making skills
