 About The Role:
 
 
 The Global Supply Manager drives sourcing strategy and supplier management across major categories, including fabricated metals, robotics subsystems, mechanical assemblies, and indirect services.

 Key responsibilities include negotiating supply agreements, managing supplier relationships, and building diversified global networks to support rapid program ramp-up and long-lead materials. The Global Supply Manager partners cross-functionally with Engineering, Product, Manufacturing, and Field Operations to align sourcing decisions with business needs, influence make-buy strategies, and ensure supply readiness for new product introductions.
 
 
 The role also leads supplier performance management through scorecards and quarterly business reviews, drives corrective actions for escalations, and supports Finance with budgeting, forecasts, and cost savings initiatives. By integrating risk assessments, logistics coordination, and strategic insights, the Global Supply Chain Manager ensures scalable, flexible, and resilient supply chains that enable business growth.
