Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior Global Sourcing Manager to architect and execute end-to-end supply chain strategies for mission-critical defense hardware. This role bridges cutting-edge technology with global manufacturing scale, requiring deep expertise in supplier negotiation, category management, and strategic partnership development.
Key responsibilities include:
• Develop and execute comprehensive sourcing strategies across assigned categories, balancing cost, quality, lead time, capacity, and supply security to meet aggressive program timelines.
• Identify, qualify, and onboard best-in-class domestic and international suppliers. Manage relationships through quarterly business reviews, performance scorecards, capacity planning, and continuous performance management.
• Structure and negotiate complex supplier agreements including Master Service Agreements, Statements of Work, Long-Term Agreements, pricing agreements, and NRE terms to secure favorable commercial terms and de-risk supply.
• Embed with Engineering, Quality, and Manufacturing teams during new product introduction to align design intent with supplier capability, drive design-to-cost initiatives, and ensure parts are qualified and flowing on schedule.
• Proactively de-risk the supply chain by tracking market dynamics, geopolitical factors, and upstream constraints. Identify single points of failure and implement dual-source, buffer, or vertical-integration strategies before they impact production.
Required qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, or related field with 10+ years in global sourcing, strategic procurement, or supplier management in high-tech or regulated manufacturing. Must have working knowledge of commercial contract law, should-cost modeling, and a proven track record closing high-value, technically complex agreements. Demonstrated success managing global supplier bases, running audits, and scaling supply from prototype through high-rate production. Technical fluency with engineering drawings and specifications required. Must be eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance. Some travel may be required.
