Here at The Exploration Company, we are building innovative aerospace technologies that advance the future of space transportation.

Role Overview

Reports to: Head of Procurement

We are looking for a Lead Supply Chain to lead operational purchasing and direct material procurement across The Exploration Company’s locations.

You will manage the (direct material procurement) DMP team and own the operational procure-to-pay process within your scope, ensuring materials and services reach our teams on time and with the required documentation.

You will combine responsive purchasing support with the strict controls needed in an aerospace environment.

Your first priority will be to protect Nyx Earth delivery, while allocating purchasing capacity to Storm, engine development and other approved activities.

Key Responsibilities

Supplier and Delivery Management

Manage supplier relationships for commodities, standard parts and other purchases within the operational purchasing scope.

Monitor order confirmations, lead times and delivery commitments, and coordinate recovery actions when supply is at risk.

Develop sourcing approaches for recurring purchases and identify opportunities for consolidation.

Escalate shortages and supplier risks according to their impact on program milestones.

Procurement Operations and Controls

Lead operational procure-to-pay activities for purchases outside the sourcing-board process, including development purchases subject to company approval rules.

Ensure purchase orders accurately reflect approved requirements, prices, delivery dates and applicable contractual conditions.

Maintain reliable purchasing and supplier data in the ERP system.

Coordinate with receiving, logistics, Quality and Finance to resolve delivery, documentation and invoice discrepancies.

Implement purchasing controls and maintain auditable records supporting TEC’s EN9100 requirements.

Ensure urgent purchasing follows the appropriate approval and traceability processes.

Planning and Continuous Improvement

Allocate purchasing workload across locations according to program priorities and delivery risks.

Work with program procurement leads and Engineering to anticipate demand and identify long-lead requirements.

Develop the company’s commodity and standard-parts purchasing strategy.

Monitor delivery performance, overdue orders, purchasing lead times and data quality.

Improve purchasing processes in coordination with the company’s process and ERP owners.

Team Leadership and Collaboration

Lead and develop the DMP managers across Germany, Italy, France and the planned US scope.

Establish consistent ways of working while accommodating local operational requirements.

Give team members clear decision authority and escalation criteria.

Provide the Head of Procurement with a consolidated view of purchasing capacity, shortages and recovery actions.

Coordinate closely with the Nyx, in-house development and indirect procurement leads.

Qualifications

Education and Experience

Bachelor's degree in supply chain management, Engineering, Operations or a related field, or equivalent experience.

Significant experience in operational purchasing or supply chain management within aerospace, manufacturing or another controlled technical environment.

Experience managing teams across multiple locations.

Strong practical knowledge of ERP purchasing workflows, supplier follow-up and procure-to-pay controls.

Experience working within EN9100/AS9100 or comparable quality management systems.

Skills

Strong operational judgment and the ability to prioritize against production and development milestones.

Ability to establish disciplined processes without creating unnecessary administrative delays.

Confidence using purchasing data to identify risks and direct corrective action.

Effective supplier negotiation and cross-functional communication.

Proven ability to develop a team that resolves routine issues independently and escalates critical exceptions.

Why Join Us

Help deliver Nyx Earth and develop the capabilities behind TEC’s future vehicles and engines.

Take ownership of a procurement function with a direct impact on company milestones.

Lead and develop a team in a collaborative, international engineering environment.
