About the Role

We are looking for a Director of Supply Chain to build and lead the supply chain function at Arsenal-1, our flagship factory in the Columbus, Ohio area. Starting from a blank sheet, you will make sure material, capacity, and supplier readiness are in place ahead of every rate increase and every new product family that lands on the floor.
Reporting to the Senior Director of Manufacturing Operations, you will set the multi-year strategy for how the function evolves, spanning org design, process architecture, systems roadmap, and talent, while staying close enough to the work to personally unblock the hardest constraints and represent supply chain credibly to executive leadership.
This is not a role where you delegate and observe. You will be in the details on the highest-stakes shortages and escalations while building an organization that can increasingly handle them without you. If you are energized by building a function that becomes a durable competitive advantage, and by developing the leaders who will run it, this is the role.

What You'll Do

Stand Up the Arsenal-1 Supply Chain Function

• Define the charter and scope of the Arsenal-1 supply chain function: what the site owns, what the broader Supply Chain team owns, and how the overlap between them is governed.
• Build the integrated plan for standing up the function: phased by production milestone, with entry and exit criteria, named owners, and hard dates. Work backward from production start and each rate step to define required readiness in people, process, systems, supplier qualification, and inventory position.
• Own the risk register, dependency map, and critical path, along with the governance around them: readiness and gate reviews, plus an executive cadence that gives leadership real status without generating theater.
• Write the operating model: planning cadences, material call and shortage escalation, receiving and inspection flow, kitting and line-feed, cycle counting, change control, and decision rights for each.
• Own the capital, tooling, and infrastructure requests supply chain depends on (storage footprint, material handling, receiving and inspection capacity), sequenced against facility construction.
