About the role
Intuitive Machines is seeking a detail-oriented and experienced Supply Chain Compliance Specialist to join our organization. This role sits at the intersection of contracts, compliance, and supplier management, ensuring that our supply chain operations meet the rigorous regulatory demands of government contracting while supporting the speed and agility our portfolio of complex, strategic programs require. The successful candidate will be a key resource for the supply chain organization, providing support and expertise throughout the procurement lifecycle, as well as helping to implement practical, streamlined compliance processes.

This is a remote position.
