Vice President, Supply Chain

Tbwa Chiat/Day Inc
Long Beach, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 2/10/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/2/2025

At Relativity Space, we have two audacious goals : to build the next great commercial launch company with Terran R and to become America's leading force in additive manufacturing innovation. Both contribute to our long-term vision of creating humanity’s industrial base on Mars, paving the way for interplanetary life to expand the possibilities of the human experience. This journey begins right here on Earth – where we design, build, and fly rockets to deliver customer payloads to orbit. Terran R, our medium-to-heavy lift reusable rocket, fulfills the growing demand for launch capacity, thanks to our iterative approach that accelerates design, testing, and development while minimizing costs.

Your journey with us is more than just a job – it’s an opportunity to shape the future of aerospace technology, additive manufacturing, and the human experience alongside a community of passionate, creative individuals. Join us on this extraordinary journey, as we work together to transform our vision into reality.

About the Team :

Supply Chain at Relativity encompasses direct supply management for all Terran-R parts and materials management. Put simply, we own the value chain from identification of a need to delivery to our internal customer. The Supply Chain team’s vision is to build a best-in-class, responsive, and data-driven supply chain management organization that is a key competitive advantage for Relativity.

About the Role :

Reporting directly to our Senior VP of Manufacturing and Supply Chain, the Vice President of Supply Chain will lead the organization responsible for providing Relativity with the materials, hardware, and resources necessary for the production of our Terran R rockets. This role will also define the processes required to establish a world-class supply chain organization. You will be the end-to-end facilitator of our product—from ensuring data integrity upon item master creation to ensuring timely delivery of quality parts to the Production floor.

The Vice President will play a critical role in both introducing and scaling Relativity’s launch vehicle production, including core supply chain programs like the below :

  • Lead material planning, supplier base management, logistics, inventory, and production coordination functions.
  • Establish foundational processes for hardware entry and processing throughout the facility, including Item Master, BOM creation, clear-to-build analysis, and data analytics.
  • Drive procurement campaigns from planning and BOM development to sourcing, supplier evaluations & risk assessments, and vendor management.
  • Architect the supply chain network, define business processes, and integrate with Relativity’s digital infrastructure.
  • Develop material management, flow, and production control strategies.
  • Build strong working relationships with Engineering, Manufacturing, Integration, Production, Additive, Finance & Strategy teams to align company objectives.
  • Define and execute the strategic and tactical vision for Supply Chain, shaping Relativity’s Supply Chain roadmap and achieving defined deliverables.

About You :

  • Bachelor of Science degree in manufacturing engineering, industrial engineering & operations, supply chain & infrastructure, or equivalent.
  • 8 years of operations-focused experience in a high-mix, development environment, with extensive history collaborating with design engineering, manufacturing, and production personnel.
  • 6 years of team leadership or management experience, with strong interpersonal skills capable of influencing stakeholders outside your immediate team.
  • 5 years of hands-on experience in procurement, supply management, planning, manufacturing, logistics, or production planning & control.
  • Experience defining requirements for and implementing enterprise application systems.
  • Nice to haves but not required :

  • Experience with new product introduction of aerospace hardware into manufacturing, test, and production systems, with particular expertise in process development and first-time manufacturing and production efforts.
  • Proven ability as a self-starter, capable of defining, owning processes across cross-functional organizations, and providing structure and direction in undefined areas.
  • Working knowledge of PLM, ERP, MES, and QMS systems.
  • We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

    At Relativity Space, we are committed to transparency and fairness in our compensation practices. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors.
