Supply Chain and Planning Manager
We are looking for a Supply Chain and Planning Manager to own how SpaceAM buys, plans and builds. You will take our UK and Europe supply chain from prototype volumes to repeatable production for defence customers, and make sure every build lands on time, on cost and to spec. This is a hands-on role in a fast-paced scale-up. You will set up the systems, suppliers and planning rhythm the business runs on, then grow them as we do.
Because of the nature of our work, the successful candidate must complete Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) checks before starting. They must also be eligible for and willing to undergo UK Security Check (SC) clearance. SC clearance normally requires at least five years' residency in the UK. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
Remote Working is not available.
