🔥 HIRING: Purchasing Manager (Aerospace & Defense) — Lead the Supply Chain. Own the Suppliers. Build the Team. 🔥

One of my top Aerospace & Defense clients is on a major growth track — projected to double market share over the next 3–5 years — and they need a hands-on Purchasing Manager to run procurement, lead Buyers , and drive supplier performance in a highly regulated environment .

  • Drive supplier performance: OTD, quality, responsiveness corrective actions
  • Partner with Production, Engineering, Quality, Planning to protect schedules
  • Improve ERP/MRP parameters to balance inventory lead times
  • Run cost-reduction initiatives: negotiations, value engineering, efficiency
  • Ensure compliance with AS9100/ISO, FAR/DFARS, ITAR/EAR, CPSR and flow-downs
  • Identify & mitigate supplier risk (capacity, single-source, geopolitical, financial)


🎯 What they’re looking for (the must-haves)

  • Expert-level experience in Purchasing / Supply Chain within Aerospace & Defense
  • Proven people leadership (leading Buyers, setting KPIs, building accountability)
  • Strong in contract negotiation supplier relationship management
  • Comfortable in manufacturing environments with fast-moving priorities
  • ERP/MRP experience: SAP, Oracle, IFS (any is fine—strength matters)


Preferred: Bachelor’s (Supply Chain/Business/Engineering). Certifications like APICS/CPIM, CPSM, or PMP are a plus.
