    $125,000 - $175,000 (USD) per year
    Description

    Turion Space is building the autonomous infrastructure required to operate, protect, and sustain the in-space economy. From on-orbit inspection and debris removal to autonomous spacecraft operations powered by Starfire OS, Turion's success depends on a resilient, scalable, and execution-driven supply chain.
    As Director of Supply Chain, you will design, build, and lead a supply chain organization that enables Turion to deliver complex spacecraft systems on schedule, at cost, and at quality. This role is responsible for end-to-end supply chain strategy and execution spanning sourcing, supplier partnerships, material planning, logistics, systems, and production support in a fast-paced aerospace startup environment.
    This is a hands-on leadership role requiring deep technical expertise, strong executive presence, and the ability to build structure where little exists.
    Key Responsibilities

    • Define and execute Turion's end-to-end supply chain strategy, aligned with company growth plans and program requirements.
    • Build, lead, and scale a cross-functional supply chain organization supporting engineering development, manufacturing, integration, and production.
    • Establish supply chain as a driver of operational excellence, cost efficiency, and competitive advantage.
    • Serve as a senior leader with the ability to influence executive stakeholders and guide cross-company decision making.
    • Build and manage strategic supplier partnerships, optimizing for resilience, performance, and financial outcomes.
    • Drive supplier evaluation, qualification, development, and quality improvement initiatives.
    • Lead procurement campaigns from early BOM development through sourcing, negotiation, risk assessment, and vendor management.
    • Own material planning, inventory management, logistics, and production coordination to ensure on-time delivery.
    • Establish foundational hardware processes including Item Master setup, BOM creation, clear-to-build analysis, and data analytics.
    • Lead digital transformation efforts across ERP, PLM, MES, and QMS systems.
    • Design scalable processes that support new product introduction, first-article builds, and production ramp.
    • Partner deeply with Engineering, Manufacturing, Integration, Production, Additive, Finance, and Strategy teams to align priorities and execution.
    • Roll up sleeves when needed and lead by example in a startup environment where execution matters.
    Minimum Qualifications
    • Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations, or related field.
    • 12+ years of progressive supply chain experience, including senior leadership roles in aerospace or other complex hardware environments.
    • Proven track record transforming supply chain operations to drive measurable improvements in growth, cost, and delivery performance.
    • Deep expertise across procurement, supplier management, logistics, planning, inventory, and supply chain systems.
    • Experience collaborating closely with design engineering, manufacturing, and production teams in development and flight environments.
    • Strong executive presence with the ability to influence across leadership teams.
    Preferred Qualifications
    • Experience leading supply chain efforts for new product introduction of aerospace hardware into manufacturing and production.
    • Demonstrated ability to operate as a self-starter in ambiguous environments, building structure and process from the ground up.
    • Hands-on experience with PLM, ERP, MES, and QMS implementations or transformations.
    • Experience scaling supply chain operations in a high-growth startup or rapid-execution environment.
    • Visionary mindset with the ability to reimagine how supply chain excellence enables mission success.
