The selected candidate will join the Airframe Supply & Conformance Management Team, focusing on the Cargo Door perimeter for the A350 Freighter program. Our mission is to lead and coordinate end-to-end local supply chain and logistics operations-ranging from supplier ordering, inventory management, and parameterization to receiving quality and shop-floor conformance. Acting as a key interface within a multifunctional plant environment, you will drive supplier accountability, prevent production disruptions, and lead continuous improvement initiatives to ensure high-standard program execution.

The main tasks of the jobholder will be:

• Steer end-to-end ordering and inventory management in SAP SPA, handling purchase orders (POs), forecasting, part parameterization, and stock coverage to secure production supply.
• Establish and drive the Supply Chain Control Tower, conducting root-cause analyses on delays, disruptions, and missing parts to implement proactive operational action plans.
• Act as the local Conformance & Procurement focal point, attending daily SQCDP meetings, participating in multifunctional plant teams, and managing receiving quality controls (inspections, purges, FAI, and concessions).
• Lead supplier quality and issue resolution, driving Practical Problem Solving (PPS), containment plans, and 8D reports to systematically identify and correct root causes.
• Manage escalations and plant events (SARI/IRAG), preparing robust business cases with manufacturing stakeholders when long-term actions, operational investments, or supplier recovery plans are needed.
• Challenge and monitor vendor performance, auditing supplier execution, optimizing service level agreements (lead times, buffers, logistics), and managing New Product Introductions (NPI) and process changes.
