📋 Description

• Lead supplier recovery efforts during delivery crises: secure executive engagement at suppliers, establish and track robust recovery plans, prioritize critical parts, and escalate effectively to internal stakeholders (Purchasing, Programs, Supply Chain, Site Leadership) and customers as required. • Conduct thorough supplier assessments (process capability, capacity, quality systems, risk) for both new and existing sources; prioritize based on program impact. • Drive root-cause corrective actions and process improvements at suppliers; facilitate Kaizen events, VA/VE workshops, and training in advanced problem-solving (8D, A3, etc.). • Identify bottlenecks, optimize logistics parameters (lead times, MOQ, packaging), and implement solutions that directly improve OTD and reduce risk. • Support development and standardization of department tools, metrics, and reporting to increase visibility and effectiveness. • Coordinate with Supplier Quality, Procurement, and Program teams to shift left – addressing issues before they hit production.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree (engineering or technical field strongly preferred). • Minimum 5 years hands-on experience working inside manufacturing environments at suppliers (aerospace, automotive, or complex assembly preferred). • Proven track record improving supplier performance (quality, delivery, capacity) in high-stakes, regulated industries. • Willingness and ability to travel 60%+ (including international; valid passport required). • Strong technical foundation in manufacturing processes (machining, composites, assembly, inspection) and quality tools (FMEA, SPC, RCCA, APQP/PPAP). • Demonstrated crisis-management capability under schedule pressure. • Excellent communication and influence skills – able to engage supplier executives and internal leadership decisively.
