Senior Manager, Production Planning & Procurement

About Us

Pacific Defense is a fast-growing defense technology company that develops and manufactures advanced multi-function RF and computing systems for the U.S. Department of Defense and allied defense customers. Pacific Defense designs and builds advanced military standards-based Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA) solutions supporting electronic warfare, tactical communications, signals intelligence, cyber-EW, high-performance computing, and other mission-critical applications.

As Pacific Defense continues to scale production across multiple programs and product families, we are seeking an experienced supply chain leader capable of managing a complex, fast-paced production environment with a broad mix of products, configurations, suppliers, and customer delivery requirements.

Who Are We Looking For?

Pacific Defense is seeking a Senior Manager, Production Planning & Procurement to lead production planning, material planning, procurement, and supplier execution across our manufacturing organization.

This individual will be responsible for ensuring that customer demand is translated into executable production and material plans and that purchased material is available to support production schedules and contractual delivery commitments.

The ideal candidate will have significant experience supporting the manufacture of products for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) or other highly regulated aerospace and defense customers. The candidate should be comfortable operating in a high-mix, low-to-medium-volume environment with many different assemblies, configurations, and customer requirements being managed simultaneously, similar to a sophisticated contract manufacturer or electronics manufacturing services organization.

This is a hands-on leadership position requiring the ability to move between strategic supply-chain planning and daily execution. The successful candidate will work closely with Manufacturing, Engineering, Program Management, Quality, Finance, Configuration Management, and suppliers to identify risks, resolve shortages, establish priorities, and maintain alignment between customer requirements, material availability, and production capacity.
