About The Job

The Tactical Recon and Strike (TRS) division is seeking a highly experienced and exceptionally driven Supply Chain leader to serve as our Head of Divisional Supply Chain. This is a critical, standalone hire designed to be both a strategic leader and a highly hands-on operational executor capable of stepping into challenging situations and driving immediate, measurable impact. We are looking for a leader who can thrive in ambiguity, build structure from scratch, and stabilize and scale our operations. You will be instrumental in laying foundational processes and systems.

What You'll Do

As the Head of Divisional Supply Chain, you will be responsible for overseeing end-to-end supply chain operations across the TRS division, with a dual focus on internal operational infrastructure and the external supplier ecosystem.

• Operational Infrastructure & Process Building: Evaluate and build internal operational infrastructure, tools, systems, and processes from scratch, including developing SOPs, repeatable workflows, and performance metrics across business lines to ensure scalability.
• Inventory & Warehouse Management: Establish strong inventory controls, enhance warehouse operational rigor, ensure material traceability, and drive accuracy through improved reconciliation, tracking, and cycle count discipline to prevent production disruptions.
• Supplier Management & Strategic Sourcing: Own end-to-end supplier strategy, including qualification, performance management, risk mitigation, and cultivating strategic partnerships. Vet, develop, and invest in both domestic and global suppliers to ensure accountability, alignment, and scalability.
• Planning & Forecasting: Significantly strengthen operational planning, demand forecasting, and material readiness, transitioning from reactive to proactive systems. Enhance cross-functional coordination and long-lead material visibility.
• Financial & Resource Management: Manage the financial levers of the supply chain, optimizing resource allocation and driving operational efficiency to maximize production scalability and execution.
