Job description

Staff Global Supply Manager, Propulsion

At Relativity Space, we're building rockets to serve today's needs and tomorrow's breakthroughs. Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. But that's just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known.

Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here, you're not just executing tasks; you're solving problems that haven't been solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up. Whether you're in propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or a corporate function, you'll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. Relativity is a place where creativity and technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the stories we're writing together. Now is a unique moment in time where it's early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.

About the Team

The Supply Chain team turns design intent into executable reality, balancing lead time, cost, complexity, and manufacturability to ensure we can build and scale Terran R. On this team, you're not just placing orders; you're actively shaping the solution. With full ownership across raw materials, capital equipment, and services, the role requires both strategic thinking and day-to-day execution. As the company scales, supply chain becomes increasingly central, working closely with engineering, quality, manufacturing, and more to make decisions that work for today but also for tomorrow. This is a team for those who want to operate at the intersection of technical ambition and business execution, driving tangible progress to keep the Terran R program on track.

About the Role

As a Staff Global Supply Manager, Propulsion, you'll work closely with stakeholders across Engineering, Manufacturing Operations, Supply Chain Planning, and more to design and scale both existing and novel supply chains in the design and development of complex components that create a competitive advantage for the enterprise.

  • Lead sourcing and supplier management for propulsion ensuring cost, quality, and delivery targets are achieved.
  • Develop and execute supply chain strategies, including supplier selection, long-term agreements, and capacity planning to support Terran-R build schedules.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Quality, and Planning to influence design for manufacturability and align procurement with program milestones.
  • Drive supplier performance through rigorous risk management, contract negotiations, and milestone-based tracking.
  • Mentor and support GSMs and GSSs on the team, building expertise in aerospace manufacturing processes and supplier development.
  • Act as a thought leader for propulsion commodities, continuously improving sourcing processes, supplier health, and program readiness.

About You

  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Engineering, or related field.
  • 7+ years of professional experience in supply chain, sourcing, or procurement.
  • Demonstrated experience managing suppliers for complex aerospace or advanced manufacturing commodities.
  • Proven track record of negotiating contracts and managing milestone-based agreements.
  • Hands-on experience with ERP systems (LN, SAP, Oracle, or equivalent).
  • Knowledge of aerospace manufacturing processes such as machining, forming, welding, and assembly.
  • Nice to Haves But Not Required

  • MBA or advanced degree in Supply Chain, Business, or Engineering.
  • Direct experience managing structural commodities in aerospace (domes, barrels, interstages, thrust structures, etc.).
  • Familiarity with AS9100 and NADCAP standards, supplier qualifications, and audit processes.
  • Proven success driving supplier performance improvements through KPIs, recovery plans, and long-term agreements.
  • Strong understanding of aerospace raw materials (aluminum, titanium, Inconel, Cu-Ni-Sn alloys) and associated processing methods.
  • New Product Development (NPD) or Introduction (NPI) supply chain experience, preferably within aerospace or frontier technology industries.
  • Proficiency in supplier risk assessment, cost modeling, and capacity planning.
  • 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. Compensation is only one part of our total rewards package. Relativity Space offers competitive salary and equity, a generous PTO and sick leave policy, parental leave, an annual learning and development stipend, and more!

    Hiring Range : $150,000 - $193,600 USD
