About the Organization

We are a U.S.-headquartered advanced aerospace and defense manufacturing enterprise delivering next-generation avionics systems, satellite components, secure communications hardware, propulsion assemblies, and mission-critical subsystems for commercial aerospace and defense-adjacent applications.

Operating in a highly regulated, capital-intensive, and globally distributed supply ecosystem, our production networks span precision component manufacturers, rare material suppliers, specialized electronics vendors, and secure logistics channels across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific regions.

With expanding federal contracts, long-cycle production timelines, and increasing geopolitical complexity affecting materials and trade flows, a resilient global supply chain architecture is foundational to mission readiness, contract performance, and margin discipline.

We are seeking a strategic Vice President of Global Supply Chain to lead end-to-end international procurement strategy, supplier risk governance, global logistics optimization, production planning integration, and multi-tier resilience programs, fully remote within the United States.

This is not a regional procurement oversight role. This is a mission-critical global supply governance mandate.
