Supply Chain Manager | Global Aerospace

Supply Chain Manager

A leading aerospace and advanced manufacturing organization has engaged us to recruit a Supply Chain Manager. Based out of a high growth Cincinnati hub that backs major commercial engine programs and a global client roster, the company is actively breaking into new markets spanning North America, Europe, and Asia. What sets this opportunity apart is the mandate itself: you are being brought in to design and grow a worldwide supply chain while the business is genuinely expanding, not to keep an existing structure running.

The ideal candidate is a practical, in the weeds leader ready to take command of global sourcing, raise the bar on supplier performance, and bring discipline and excellence to a sophisticated international supply chain.

Why This Role

• Worldwide footprint. Your remit spans an international supplier base, leaving plenty of latitude to shape results and to travel.
• A blend of vision and execution. You will own the long range sourcing agenda while remaining close to the realities of daily operations.
• Forward momentum. Far from static, the operation is actively modernizing, with sustained investment in better processes.
• Decisions that count. Operating in a tightly regulated, high specification field, the calls you make ripple through quality, safety, and performance.
• A voice that carries. Partnering side by side with Engineering, Quality, and Operations, your influence will be clearly felt.
• Authentic ownership. The supplier strategy, the sourcing choices, and the process improvements are yours to drive, well beyond simply following instructions.

Your Responsibilities

• Establish and grow supplier ecosystems supplying aerospace grade components and materials.
• Shape and roll out global procurement strategies engineered to meet cost, quality, and delivery goals.
• Hold accountability for the entire procure to pay journey, from RFQs and supplier selection through to negotiations, purchase orders, delivery tracking, and invoice resolution.
• Make certain that purchasing activity remains compliant with industry regulations and internal policy.
• Advance the team's capability through hands on coaching, structured performance management, and forward looking succession planning.
• Stay on top of supplier performance by applying metrics, audits, risk assessments, and corrective actions.
• Move department KPIs in the right direction while feeding into the company's broader ambitions.
• Join forces with Engineering, Quality, and Operations to clear supply roadblocks and protect production continuity.
