About Us

Harmattan AI is a next-generation defense prime building autonomous and scalable defense systems. Following the close of a $200M Series B, valuing the company at $1.4 billion, we are expanding our teams and capabilities to deliver mission-critical systems to allied forces.

Our work is guided by clear values: building technologies with real-world impact, pursuing excellence in everything we do, setting ambitious goals, and taking on the hardest technical challenges. We operate in a demanding environment where rigor, ownership, and execution are expected.

About the Role

As Procurement Manager, you will lead procurement, material planning and supply readiness to support our production schedules as we scale. You will own the operating mechanisms that turn demand into executable material plans, including Clear to Build (CTB) analysis, MRP execution and purchase order management. Leading a team of Buyers and Material Planners, you will work closely with Strategic Sourcing, Planning, Engineering, Quality, Finance and our suppliers to remove material constraints before they impact manufacturing.

Responsibilities

  • Manage and develop a team of Buyers and Material Planners, setting priorities and giving them the tools and training to execute.

  • Own Clear to Build analysis and translate demand into executable material plans for production.

  • Identify material constraints before they impact production, and drive cross functional actions to resolution.

  • Improve the quality of MRP inputs, including lead times, safety stocks, order policies, MOQ and planning parameters.

  • Hold suppliers accountable for delivery performance, and drive recovery plans when commitments are at risk.

  • Represent material readiness in production, S&OP, shortage and operational review meetings.

  • Monitor and report key indicators on supplier performance, material availability and supply risks.

  • Resolve downstream issues with receiving, finance and accounting teams.

  • Maintain procurement master data in the ERP system and build scalable processes as the company grows.

Candidate Requirements

  • Educational Background: Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Supply Chain or a related discipline.

  • Experience: 5+ years of supply chain experience in progressive roles, ideally in a manufacturing environment.

  • Proven Leadership: 2+ years managing or leading procurement, planning or materials teams.

  • Technical Expertise: Strong practical knowledge of MRP logic, BOM driven material planning, inventory management and production supply.

  • Material Readiness: Demonstrated experience developing or operating Clear to Build processes in a manufacturing environment.

  • Scaling Experience: Experience supporting NPI, engineering changes and production ramps, and building scalable processes in a rapidly changing environment.

  • Adaptability & Mobility: Thrives under pressure in a fast paced, dynamic environment and embraces a “no task is too small” mentality.

  • Communication & Influence: Fluency in French and English, with strong cross functional communication and the ability to drive action without relying solely on direct authority, from suppliers to senior executives.

  • Commitment: 100% dedication to Harmattan AI’s mission, vision, and ambitious growth plans, ready to go the extra mile to ensure operational excellence.

We look forward to hearing how you can help shape the future of autonomous defense systems at Harmattan AI.
