Overview

This is a Technical Subcontract Management (TSM) field support position. The TSM will be responsible for providing onsite support at multiple Customer major system and airframe suppliers primarily located in/around (Portland, OR). Approximately 90% of the TSMs time will be spent onsite at a CUSTOMER supplier facility.

A TSM is a member of the Supply Chain Management (SCM) team that CUSTOMER uses to minimize disruptions to the supply chain by providing “in the field” oversight of supplier execution. As a project manager overseeing multiple CUSTOMER Suppliers, daily activities will include: working with supplier personnel to prioritize components through manufacturing, validating the status of the deliverable parts and providing detailed status to CUSTOMER procurement, preparing plans to reduce/prevent shortages, identifying risks in the supply chain, and developing risk mitigation plans to minimize the potential impact to CUSTOMER.

Candidates should have an understanding of production processes as they relate to aircraft systems components and avionics equipment, machined part fabrication, tooling fabrication, and lean manufacturing. The candidate should be a self-starter that is capable of analyzing supplier processes and developing improvement plans in collaboration with personnel from both the supplier and CUSTOMER. The candidate will regularly collaborate across multiple functions (within CUSTOMER and at the supplier facility), including production, procurement, quality, and engineering, in order to expedite parts/assemblies that are required to support each of the CUSTOMER Lines of Business (LOB).

The success of the person in this position will greatly depend on his/her ability to communicate clearly and effectively with supplier personnel at varying levels of an organization. The candidate should have strong interpersonal skills and be able to build relationships quickly with multiple stakeholders.
