Role Summary

At Spartronics, the Director of Supply Chain & Sourcing influences all aspects of the supply chain—from sourcing to delivery—for Spartronics products and services. The Director will effectively and efficiently guide the Sourcing team and interact regularly with site Supply Chain leadership. This role is responsible for overseeing supply chain operations at the enterprise level; influencing inventory and financial metrics; developing systems, processes, and tools; fostering and managing supplier relationships; and driving an effective, efficient supply chain through measurable KPIs. We are seeking a leader who thrives in ambiguity and brings a startup-minded operating style: hands-on, bias to action, iterative, and comfortable building structure where none exists.

Key Responsibilities:

Supply Strategy & Execution

• Develop and execute strategic sourcing plans aligned to business goals and customer needs.
• Negotiate supplier contracts and commercial terms to optimize total cost, quality, and resiliency.
• Create and execute site-level supplier strategies that align with overall enterprise sourcing goals, ensuring consistent standards across locations.
• Manage supplier partners and coordinate with manufacturing sites; influence the full purchasing cycle and inventory management and execution.
• Drive efficiencies in transactional processes and lead continuous improvement initiatives across sourcing and supply chain operations.
• Demonstrate a deep understanding of the complexities of commodities and mechanicals, applying this knowledge to sourcing and supplier decisions.

Supplier Consolidation, Qualification & Governance

• Lead consolidation of suppliers to a rationalized, high-performing supply base; establish and track targets for supplier reduction and spend aggregation.
• Own the validation of site suppliers (new and existing) to ensure alignment with enterprise standards, certifications, compliance (including FAR/DFARS for A&D), quality, delivery, and cost objectives.
• Define and enforce clear supplier vetting criteria (capability, capacity, quality systems, financial health, cybersecurity/IP controls, ESG/ethics) and a structured "vet-out" process to exit underperforming suppliers while mitigating risk.
• Partner with Quality and Operations to harmonize supplier audits, scorecards, and corrective action plans across sites.

Documentation & Knowledge Flow

• Establish the documentation flow to and from sites so requirements, specifications, PPAP/FAI packages, change notices, quality alerts, and other artifacts flow forward and back between sites and central/commodity management.
• Standardize templates, nomenclature, and repositories (e.g., supplier qualification packages, negotiation playbooks, contracts, and performance dashboards) to enable reuse and transparency.
• Ensure that commodity strategies, AVL/AML updates, and supplier performance insights are communicated bi-directionally and acted upon at the site level.

Risk Management & Performance

• Identify risks to supply chain capacity (materials, talent, processes, tools) and implement mitigation strategies, supplier development, and dual-sourcing where appropriate.
• Monitor KPIs and analyze supply chain data: prepare quantitative and qualitative analyses of historical data and market trends to support long-range purchasing strategies.
• Utilize best practices to create or optimize inventory approaches; identify opportunities to improve processes and create efficiencies.
• Consider the voice of the custom
