Delivery Assurance Specialist

We are seeking an experienced Delivery Assurance / Supply Chain professional to strengthen execution across our manufacturing and supplier network. This role is critical in addressing overdue backlog, closing process gaps, and creating stronger linkage between supply chain and manufacturing operations.

This is not a “throw bodies at the problem” role. We are looking for someone who understands how to drive supplier accountability, lead recovery actions, and build sustainable processes that improve delivery performance long-term.

• Drive recovery plans for past-due and at-risk orders across assigned suppliers.
• Partner directly with suppliers to identify root causes and implement corrective actions.
• Monitor key delivery metrics and proactively mitigate supply risk.
• Lead supplier calls and action tracking to ensure commitments are met.
• Work within SAP to analyze demand, supply signals, and material status.

• Create strong linkage between supply chain, manufacturing, and support functions.
• Translate manufacturing priorities into clear supplier execution plans.
• Identify gaps in material flow, escalation paths, and internal handoffs.
• Support shop floor readiness by ensuring material availability aligns with production schedules.

• Identify systemic delivery issues and recommend sustainable process improvements.
• Support supplier performance reviews and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Strengthen communication channels across regional sites.
• Contribute to supply chain maturity and operational stability initiatives.

• 5+ years of experience in Supply Chain, Delivery Assurance, or Supplier Management.
• Proven tactical delivery recovery experience in a manufacturing environment.
• Strong understanding of supplier accountability and action tracking.
• Experience working in or directly supporting a manufacturing site.
• SAP experience (MRP, material status, order management, reporting).
• Ability to analyze data and drive action — not just report status.
• Strong stakeholder management and cross-functional collaboration skills.

• Comfortable operating in fast-paced, high-accountability aerospace or advanced manufacturing environments.
• Able to move seamlessly between tactical execution and strategic improvement.
• Assertive yet collaborative when working with suppliers and internal teams.
• Focused on driving results, closing gaps, and improving overall delivery performance.
