Technical Program Manager, Supply Chain

Role Scope

• Bridge engineering and sourcing on every critical equipment category, turning design changes into updated BOMs and supplier requirements with no dropped scope.
• Partner with engineering from concept through detailed design, shaping specs and drawings so what gets designed is what can actually be sourced and built on schedule.
• Own BOM accuracy and change control across the program, so sourcing negotiates and issues POs against the right part, revision, and quantity every time.
• Drive supplier selection and qualification, running technical evaluations alongside engineering to close on vendors who meet spec, lead time, and capacity thresholds.
• Review and approve vendor submittals, including shop drawings, cut sheets, and test reports, against design intent, catching spec deviations before they reach the field.

Requirements

• Experience at the intersection of engineering and procurement, translating design requirements into sourcing-ready specs and BOMs without losing technical intent.
• Experience running supplier qualification and selection processes, evaluating vendors on technical fit, lead time, and capacity.
• Experience reviewing vendor submittals against design specs and catching deviations before fabrication or field deployment.
• Ability to quarterback across engineering, sourcing, and vendors; serve as the point person when specs and POs don't match.
• Experience managing BOM revisions and change control on programs with multiple concurrent engineering changes.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills to resolve technical disagreements between engineers and suppliers into decisions and next steps.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with data center or industrial equipment categories (switchgear, transformers, cooling, generators).
• Experience with ERP or PLM systems (SAP, Oracle, Arena).
• Formal program or project management background.
• Experience on modular or first-of-a-kind builds.
