About the role

We’re looking for a hands-on Supply Chain Manager to build and scale our end-to-end supply chain for Instrumentation and Controls. This role is both strategic and operational — you’ll negotiate supplier agreements in the morning, cut POs in the afternoon, create supply chain strategies and build scalable planning processes along the way.

You will own supplier relationships, material planning, purchasing execution, and inventory strategies to ensure we can scale production without scaling chaos. The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, builds structure where none exists, moves quickly without sacrificing quality and is a great team player.

What you'll do

Strategic Sourcing & Supplier Development

• Partner with Engineering and Quality to identify, qualify, and onboard suppliers that can scale with us
• Develop and execute make/buy strategies with cross functional team

• Develop dual-source strategies to reduce risk
• Build strong, long-term supplier partnerships, not just transactional relationships

Hands on Purchasing

• Issue and manage purchase orders through delivery
• Negotiate expedites by leveraging supplier relationships.
• Facilitate the resolution of supplier quality, delivery, and invoicing issues.

Inventory & Demand Planning

• Build lightweight but effective planning processes using high level forecast to drive purchasing for long lead material.
• Key contributor to MRP implementation, reorder point and safety stock strategies.
• Partner with Sales/Operations to implement forecast processes.
• Establish clear inventory visibility and reporting

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with Engineering on new product introductions (NPI)
• Work with Quality to support NQA-1 standards and Quality audits
• Partner with Manufacturing to ensure material is in place to support manufacturing plans
• Collaborate with Finance on invoice issues and procure to pay strategies.

Building for Scale

• Implement supply chain processes that support sustainable growth
• Establish supplier KPIs and performance scorecards

What Success Looks Like

• Build a proactive supply chain that can scale with us and support our supply strategies.
• Implement contracts, strategies and relationships that will support rapid growth in the nuclear space.
• Clear visibility into supply risk and mitigation plans.

Qualifications

Experience

• 5–10 years in purchasing, sourcing, or supply chain in a product-based company.
• Experience with electrical sourcing and/or instrumentation and control supply chain.
• Experience in a high-growth environment, strongly preferred.
• Background in manufacturing, hardware, or complex assemblies preferred.
• Understanding of what mature systems and operations “look-like”

Skills & Working Style

• No ego amigo. We are one-team with one-focus!
• Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid change.
• Strong communicator.
• Highly accountable and proactive.
• Able to operate strategically and tactically on the same day.

Requirements

Must be based in the United States

Must be willing to work on-site at our headquarters in Austin, Texas
