Job description

Global Head Of Supply Chain

At REGENT, we're on a mission to revolutionize regional transportation between coastal cities. We're not just building vehicles, we're creating a new category of transportation : the seaglider. These groundbreaking wing-in-ground-effect craft travel just above the water's surface, combining the speed of an airplane with the low operating costs of a boat. Capable of 180 miles at 180 mph on today's battery tech (and up to 400 miles with next-gen batteries), seagliders will unlock fast, affordable, and sustainable coastal transit for passengers and cargo - connecting cities, islands, and communities like never before. Backed by leading investors and powered by a team of passionate, forward-thinking engineers, builders, and operators, we're now scaling from a breakthrough prototype to full production - and building the team to make it happen.

As the Global Head Of Supply Chain, you'll be defining and building the partnerships that allow REGENT to fly - quite literally. You'll be shaping a global supply ecosystem that supports the first seagliders in history, ensuring that the right parts, from the right partners, arrive at the right time. As part of the Supply Chain team, you'll be joining a group of driven, collaborative, and talented professionals who partner with our amazing engineering team in solving complex technical challenges and forging the best partnerships to ensure the best parts make it to manufacturing to build the first seagliders in the world. We hold a high bar for the supply chain team, move quickly, think boldly, and rely on our teamwork to push boundaries and bring entirely new technology into the world.

What You'll Do

  • Set the vision and strategy for REGENT's global supply chain, balancing innovation, cost, quality, and speed.
  • Build and lead a high-performing team of supply chain professionals, mentoring them to reach their potential while achieving company milestones.
  • Translate technical complexity into clarity - partnering closely with engineers to capture requirements and communicate them effectively to new and existing suppliers.
  • Forge world-class partnerships with suppliers who share our commitment to excellence and innovation.
  • Negotiate and optimize contracts to achieve best-in-class performance, reliability, and cost efficiency.
  • Continuously refine systems and processes to ensure scalability from first article builds to full production.
  • Represent supply chain to executive stakeholders, ensuring clear communication of risks, opportunities, and strategies that influence REGENT's future.

What You'll Bring

  • Deep experience in global supply chain leadership, ideally within aerospace, maritime, automotive, or other complex manufacturing industries.
  • A track record of building and scaling supplier networks from scratch, ideally in a fast-growth or first-of-its-kind environment.
  • Strong technical fluency - you can quickly grasp engineering requirements and translate them into supplier-facing terms.
  • Proven success in negotiation and contract management that drives value without sacrificing quality or relationships.
  • A leadership style that balances vision with execution - inspiring teams while rolling up your sleeves when needed.
  • A love of working in fast-moving, cross-disciplinary environments where yesterday's solution may not work tomorrow.
  • Hands-on experience setting up purchasing systems and organizational structures from the ground up.
  • Demonstrated success implementing and scaling PLM / ERP systems and other core business systems.
  • Strong product knowledge in sourcing vehicle electronics, electrical systems, power systems, and advanced composites.
  • Experience managing prototype-to-production ramp-up projects, including "one-to-many" scaling challenges.
  • Who We're Looking For

  • Collaborative Team Player : You believe that great things happen when teams work together. You communicate effectively and collaborate with engineers, stakeholders, and other cross-functional teams to align on goals and move projects forward. You bring people together, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and moving towards a shared vision.
  • Creative Problem Solver : You thrive on tackling complex challenges and finding innovative solutions. Whether it's building a global supplier network from scratch, implementing robust ERP / PLM systems, or scaling from prototype to fleet production, you approach every challenge with ingenuity, discipline, and a builder's mindset. You balance solving today's technical needs while designing for future scalability and reliability in autonomous systems.
  • Adaptable & Agile : In a dynamic, ever-evolving startup environment, you quickly adapt to changing priorities and requirements. You approach challenges with a calm, resilient mindset, and know how to pivot and adjust your approach as needed, ensuring that progress continues without missing a beat.
  • Innovative Mindset : You're driven by curiosity and a passion for technology. You're passionate about driving continuous improvement, embracing new technologies and methodologies to enhance efficiency, quality, and team performance.
  • What We Offer

  • Competitive compensation including a robust equity incentive plan.
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance - we cover 100% of your premiums.
  • 401(k) with company matching, so you can plan for the future.
  • Generous flexible time off, paid parental leave, and company-wide holiday breaks.
  • Relocation packages available for those moving to join our team.
  • Daily, free catered lunches.
  • Learning & professional development opportunities
  • If you're ready to take on an exciting challenge, grow with us, and make a lasting impact, we want to hear from you. Even if you don't meet every requirement, but you see yourself contributing to our mission, we encourage you to apply! We value diverse skillsets and experiences and believe in the potential of passionate individuals to make a big impact. REGENT is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive work environment. Employment decisions are made without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, or any other characteristic protected by law.
