YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

THE WHAT
You own procurement and supply chain execution and ensure material availability, reliable deliveries, and scalable cost structures. You coordinate forecasts, suppliers, purchasing processes, and KPIs across engineering, production, and management.

THE WHY
To end COPV failure in spaceflight.
Procurement is mission infrastructure. If our supply chain fails, missions fail. If it performs, we set new standards for performance, reliability, and cost efficiency.

YOUR IMPACT
You don't just buy materials. You build the supply system that keeps production moving.

You ensure:
  • 98% material availability and no production downtime due to material bottlenecks
  • Reliable suppliers, controlled costs, and reduced supply chain risks
  • Transparent, scalable, and data-driven procurement processes

Identify savings potential, negotiate prices and contracts, and establish transparent cost breakdowns.

→ Accountability: Own your impact. No blind flying when it comes to costs

Identify single-source risks and actively manage delivery times, quality, capacity, and escalations.

→ Candor: Communicate clearly and solve issues early

Establish A/B/C classifications, conduct regular performance reviews, and strengthen partnerships with strategic suppliers.

Build a procurement dashboard, track OTIF, lead time and forecast accuracy, report monthly to management, and identify automation and process improvements.

→ Playfulness: Serious about the mission. Joy in the process
