Global Supply Manager, Tooling & Ground Support Equipment
Long Beach, California At Relativity Space, we’re building rockets to serve today’s needs and tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. But that’s just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known. Joining Relativity Space means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here, you’re not just executing tasks; you’re solving problems that haven’t been solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up. You’ll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. Relativity is a place where creativity and technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the stories we’re writing together. Now is a unique moment in time where it’s early enough to leave your mark, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and gaining momentum. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us. About the Team: The Supply Chain team turns design intent into executable reality, balancing lead time, cost, complexity, and manufacturability to ensure we can build and scale Terran R. On this team, you’re not just placing orders; you’re actively shaping the solution. With full ownership across raw materials, capital equipment, and services, the role requires both strategic thinking and day-to-day execution. As the company scales, supply chain becomes increasingly central, working closely with engineering, quality, manufacturing, and more to make decisions that work for today but also for tomorrow. This is a team for those who want to operate at the intersection of technical ambition and business execution, driving tangible progress to keep the Terran R program on track. About the Role: Receive drawing sets, develop procurement plans, and get parts and assemblies fabricated at a variety of vendors. Provide feedback to design engineers on ways to decrease cost and lead time for parts. Partner closely with engineering during the design process to provide feedback and insights on ways to improve manufacturability, ROM prices, and lead times. Manage end-to-end RFx process in partnership with applicable stakeholders to identify top suppliers, drive competition within a given supply market, and maximize value creation for procurement activity. Negotiate pricing, lead time, terms and conditions, and more, to holistically drive the best outcome for the business. Lead end-to-end purchase order management and invoice disposition to ensure on-time delivery of products or services and timely payment of invoices. This includes processing purchase requests into purchase orders in the ERP system. Resolve procurement-related issues that arise during the life cycle of an order. Collaborate with Indirect and Direct procurement functions to build strong supplier partnerships and deliver value to Relativity.

Ability to read and understand engineering drawings and documentation, including GD&T. Nice to haves but not required: Experience vetting terms, conditions, and contracts associated with purchases. On-the-floor fabrication (welding, machining, metrology, etc.). Knowledge of enterprise applications (PLM, ERP, MES) and data analysis tools (MS Excel, SQL, Tableau). Demonstrated success negotiating pricing, lead times, and contract terms. At Relativity Space, compensation will be determined based on experience and qualifications.
