Experience in aerospace, defense, or advanced manufacturing industries. Strong negotiation, contract management, and supplier development skills. Proficiency in ERP systems (Netsuite, SAP, Oracle) and sourcing tools. Extra Points For the Following: Familiarity with aerospace product specifications and regulatory requirements. Experience with international logistics and global supplier networks. Ability to manage complex projects across multiple regions and time zones. Excellent communication, analytical, and leadership skills.
