PSI and CUU Supply Leadership

• Act as the senior supply-management escalation point for shortages, supplier constraints, late material, quality holds, outside processing, and cross-border flow issues.
• Balance immediate recovery actions with sustainable process improvements that strengthen both sites.
Sourcing, Procurement, and Supplier Performance
• Develop and execute sourcing and procurement 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 in partnership with Strategic Sourcing and Quality.
• Establish clear supplier expectations and recovery plans for delivery, quality, lead time, capacity, responsiveness, and cost.
• Drive supplier OTD, past-due reduction, lead-time improvement, 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 required to support executable build plans, production schedules, shipment commitments, and revenue objectives at PSI and CUU.
• Improve the flow of purchased and intercompany material between CUU, PSI, outside processors, and other suppliers, including direct-purchase and direct-ship opportunities where appropriate.
• Coordinate with Planning and Operations to identify shortages early, establish recovery actions, and communicate business impact and trade-offs.
• Partner with Quality and Engineering to accelerate supplier corrective actions, receiving-quality disposition, rework, deviation, and qualification activities without compromising compliance.
• Develop contingency plans for sole-source, long-lead, constrained, and high-risk materials.
Inventory and Working Capital
• Lead inventory optimization across raw material, purchased components, WIP interfaces, outside processing, and intercompany supply.
• Drive disciplined review 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 appropriate controls over material transactions.
• 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 supply management scorecard and tiered review cadence covering 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 improve decision speed and accountability.
• Lead kaizen events, value-stream analysis, process standardization, and digital improvements that simplify purchasing and material-flow processes.
• Support SIOP, annual operating planning, capacity reviews, and business reviews with clear supply assumptions, risks, scenarios, and actions.
• Ensure data integrity and consistent master-data practices related to suppliers, purchase orders, lead times, sourcing rules, and planning parameters.
Leadership and Talent Development
• Lead, coach, and develop supply management team members supporting PSI and CUU, including buyers, expeditors, receiving or outside-processing interfaces, and other assigned resources.
• Set clear goals, define decision rights, conduct performance and development discussions, and build succession and capability plans.
• Create standard work and cross-training to reduce key-person dependency and improve coverage across sites and categories.
• Promote 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.
