Supply Chain Manager | Global Aerospace #1201

We are representing a highly regarded aerospace and advanced manufacturing client in its search for a Supply Chain Manager. The role sits within a thriving Cincinnati operation that supports flagship commercial engine programs and customers worldwide, at a time when the business is opening up entirely new markets across North America, Europe, and Asia. This is less about preserving what already works and more about helping to architect and expand a global supply chain during a period of authentic growth.

We are searching for a leader who is happy to operate hands on, someone capable of owning global sourcing, sharpening supplier performance, and instilling operational excellence right across a complex international network.

Why this role

• An operation on the move. Stable yet steadily evolving, it benefits from continued investment in stronger processes.
  
• Close working partnerships. You will sit shoulder to shoulder with Engineering, Quality, and Operations and watch your input take effect.
  
• Demanding and precise. Within this regulated, high specification world, what you decide matters for quality, safety, and performance.
  
• Genuinely international. Your suppliers stretch across borders, giving you ample space to shape outcomes and to travel.
  
• Both the horizon and the here and now. You will set the long term sourcing course while keeping your hands on daily operations.
  
• Real accountability. Leading on supplier strategy, sourcing, and improvement, you will be steering rather than reacting.
  

What you will do

• Keep purchasing squarely within the bounds of industry regulations and company policy.
  
• Craft and deliver global procurement strategies built to achieve cost, quality, and delivery targets.
  
• Stand up and broaden supplier networks for aerospace grade components and materials.
  
• Take charge of the full procure to pay lifecycle, encompassing RFQs, supplier selection, negotiations, purchase orders, delivery tracking, and invoice resolution.
  
• Evaluate and elevate supplier performance using metrics, audits, risk assessments, and corrective actions.
  
• Guide, mentor, and build out a high caliber team, with care given to performance management and succession planning.
  
• Collaborate with Engineering, Quality, and Operations to work through supply issues and keep production running smoothly.
  
• Push department KPIs forward and lend support to the company's wider objectives.
  

Requirements

Preferred

• A background in creating or expanding supplier networks within fresh regions or markets.
  
• A master's qualification in a pertinent subject.
  
• Comfort with ERP platforms, Global Shop and/or Epicor in particular.
