Overview
Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo – and potentially humans in the longer run.
At The Exploration Company, we are committed to revolutionising space exploration through the development, production, and operation of Nyx, a modular and reusable orbital vehicle capable of being refuelled in orbit. Our goal is to transport cargo and eventually humans, as we strive to make space travel more accessible and sustainable.
Key Responsibilities
As Nyx is an entirely new spacecraft, it is very important for The Exploration Company to control as much of the design and manufacturing and "make" as many of its subsystems as possible. This strategy requires a great deal of support from Procurement, which you will provide as our Direct Material Procurement manager. Reporting directly to the Head of Procurement and Head of AIT, your support will be split across the two main areas:
Facility readiness:
Ensuring that TEC's workshops / factories are stocked with all of the consumables, equipment and tools they need to produce Nyx.
Ensuring that TEC's new office spaces have all of the materials they need to do the work to build Nyx.
Production readiness:
Ensuring all TEC's in-house production teams have the raw materials and parts they need to produce development and flight units of the subsystems TEC has selected to produce in-house.
For both areas you will ensure that you:
Perform standard Supply Chain Management activities such as strategic sourcing, supplier evaluation, negotiations of T&C; and pricing, supplier OTD management, contract management, and run continuous improvement initiatives.
Do proper stakeholder management.
Actively engage and coordinate with AIT, engineering, and quality departments to align on material specifications and quality assurance and compliance requirements.
