About the Organization

We are a U.S.-headquartered global aerospace and defense systems manufacturer delivering advanced avionics, precision-guided systems, autonomous flight technologies, space-grade electronics, and mission-critical defense platforms to federal agencies, allied governments, and commercial aerospace leaders.

Our supply ecosystem spans secure fabrication facilities, classified subcontractor networks, rare material sourcing hubs, microelectronics suppliers, and export-controlled logistics corridors across North America and strategic international regions. Operating within highly regulated environments (ITAR, EAR, DFARS, and other federal procurement frameworks), supply chain precision and resilience are fundamental to national security commitments and contractual performance.

As global geopolitical volatility intensifies and advanced manufacturing demand accelerates, supply chain architecture must deliver security, agility, cost discipline, and uninterrupted operational continuity.

We are seeking a transformational Chief Supply Chain Officer (CSCO) to lead enterprise-wide supply strategy, global sourcing governance, manufacturing planning integration, secure logistics oversight, and long-term operational resilience, fully remote within the United States.

This is not a procurement leadership role. This is a mission-critical enterprise operations mandate at the C-suite scale.
