    Supply Chain Manager - United Kingdom - Orbex Space

    Orbex Space
    Default job background
    Description

    Orbex are looking for an experienced individual to lead our Manufacturing Engineering & Supply Chain activities in Scotland and Denmark.

    You will be responsible for leading and planning the overall supply chain process, working with the suppliers, and owning the product management.

    You will be an integral part of our manufacturing function, working alongside our purchasing and quality teams, and reporting at a C-Suit level.

    As Europe's leading private launch services provider, Orbex is an innovative, fast-paced, and ambitious company.

    The successful candidate will work closely with the rest of the senior leadership team and other key stakeholders to develop and build our capability.

    Orbex is a leading micro-launch company with our Prime vehicle being prepared to launch from our home spaceport, Space Hub Sutherland.

    We are well placed to be one of the first operational micro-launch companies in Europe with over €85m of project financing secured, a number of customers signed up, our launch licence application submitted, and backing from organisations including UKSA and ESA.

    We are a rapidly growing company with staff located between our production and test facilities in Forres, Scotland and Copenhagen, Denmark.

    Working on cutting-edge advances in rocket fuel technology, Prime's carbon footprint is up to 96% lower than comparable vehicles, leading to innovations in propulsion and tank structures.

    A state-of-the-art re-flight system means we can recover and reuse our technology, and innovations in separation mechanisms mean we leave no debris in space.

    Having developed in-house production capability, we can 3D print complex engines, produce full-scale carbon composite fuel tanks, and have avionics and software testing labs in both Scotland and Denmark.

    Based in Forres, you will be right in the heart of this fast-paced cutting-edge company, gaining a unique insight into what it takes to build a new launch vehicle for a buoyant commercial market.

    Monitor the supplier market and create a comprehensive supplier database, considering strategic, export, financial, quality, and programmatic boundary conditions
    Establish a process for new suppliers to be included in the database
    Track and report key functional metrics on procurement activities, purchase requests, and order processing
    Monitor and report key functional metrics to reduce expenses and enhance overall procurement effectiveness
    Anticipate unfavourable events through data analysis and prepare control strategies
    Manage risks associated with supply contracts and agreements
    Control expenses and foster a culture of long-term cost savings in procurement
    Monitor supplier performance using key metrics and develop and lead a supplier performance improvement program
    Monitor supplier purchase requisition delivery dates and their evolutions as part of daily work
    Demonstrated working experience as a Procurement Manager, Procurement Officer, or Head of Procurement
    Familiarity with sourcing and procurement techniques, as well as the ability to assess market conditions
    Proficiency in the use of supplier or third-party management software
    Experience in data-led decision-making and working with numbers
    Recognised qualifications in Aerospace, Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, or Logistics would be advantageous
    Understanding and experience of working within export control restrictions, ideally in an avionics, defence, or production environment

    If you enjoy adventurous outdoor pursuits in extraordinary natural environments, the coast, and highlands around Forres offer an ideal location.

    Mountaineering, rock climbing, abseiling, hiking, mountain biking, cycling, camping, sailing, surfing, motorbiking, and skiing are all within easy reach of our main UK factory, and many members of our team participate in adventure sports in the vast, beautiful settings of Sutherland.

    For the right candidate, we offer an excellent benefits package that includes:
    Competitive salary

    Our roles need to be on-site in Scotland due to the nature of the position, export controls and security, but we are happy to sponsor visas for you and your familyand provide relocation assistance as required.
