Supply Chain Compliance Manager

Summary

Redwire is seeking a Supply Chain Compliance Manager to support the Director of Global Supply Chain in building and owning the procurement compliance infrastructure that the company relies on across its multi-site supply chain.

Responsibilities

• Owns the enterprise procurement compliance program, establishing governance, policies, internal controls, and command media that ensure FAR and DFARS and customer flowdown compliance across all purchasing operations and sites.
• Lead Contractor Purchasing System Review (CPSR) readiness end-to-end: compile the full data universe, build audit-ready documentation, coordinate DCMA engagement, and drive corrective actions to closure to achieve and sustain an approved purchasing system.
• Stand up CPSR-certified purchasing systems and the underlying process architecture, including file documentation standards, price and cost analysis, competition, sole-source justification, and terms and flowdowns, built to scale with company growth.
• Build and maintain compliance frameworks for the Berry Amendment, TAA and BAA, ITAR and EAR, NDAA889, and counterfeit and EEE parts avoidance, embedding requirements into supplier qualification and purchase order workflows.
• Apply hands-on procurement expertise to policy design, structuring supplier terms, long-term agreements, and flowdown language that hold up under audit and protect the purchasing ticket.
• Partner with buyers and category leads on supplier selection, negotiation, price and cost analysis, and file documentation, translating regulation into practical purchasing steps rather than abstract policy.
• Drive ERP (Odoo) data integrity and configuration so procurement transactions capture compliance evidence by design, including per-program traceability and demand pegging.
• Assess supplier performance and risk through a compliance lens, including counterfeit, cyber and CMMC, foreign ownership and control, and export exposure, and develop mitigation and contingency plans.
• Serve as the primary procurement compliance resource, advising executive leadership, Legal, Contracts, Quality, and Supply Chain on regulatory requirements, contractual obligations, and risk mitigation strategies.
• Lead cross-functional initiatives and influence stakeholders without direct reporting authority, running compliance councils and forums that strengthen audit readiness without adding bureaucracy.
• Develop and deliver compliance training on FAR and DFARS, customer flowdowns, and counterfeit avoidance, building organizational knowledge and a culture of compliance by design.
• Develop AI-enabled compliance tooling for supplier screening, purchase order deviation checks, CPSR file-readiness auditing, and exception flagging to improve consistency and speed across procurement.
• Establish KPIs and metrics for compliance health, file readiness, audit findings, and corrective-action cycle time, and report results to leadership.
• Travel up to 25% to company and supplier sites to support CPSR readiness, DCMA engagement, supplier assessments, and cross-site process rollout.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, Law, or a related field.
• An MBA or advanced degree, or professional certifications (CFCM/CPCM, CPSM, CSCP, APICS), is highly desirable.
• 7+ years of progressive experience in defense or aerospace procurement and/or procurement compliance, including direct CPSR preparation and DCMA engagement.
• Deep working knowledge of FAR and DFARS, U.S. public law, customer flowdowns, the Berry Amendment, TAA and BAA, ITAR and EAR, and NDAA889 as applied to government contracting.
• Strong procurement and sourcing background, including negotiation, long-term agreements, price and cost analysis, and supplier and contract management.
• Experience with EEE and counterfeit parts avoidance (familiarity with AS5553 and AS6081 a plus).
• Experience with ERP systems (Odoo, SAP, or Oracle) and comfort using data, automation, and AI-enabled tooling to strengthen controls.
• Proven ability to influence cross-functionally without direct authority, with strong training, facilitation, and written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience building compliance programs, SOPs, and supplier qualification processes from a blank slate and scaling them in a high-growth environment.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and project-management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines.
• A commitment to continual learning and growth, as a leader and in the field.
