Senior Supply Chain Manager (вакансія неактивна)

Swarmer is pioneering the future of defense technology by making drones of any kind work together autonomously. We develop AI-powered collaborative autonomy for smart, efficient, and self-improving teaming of connected drones and autonomous systems.

ROLE OVERVIEW:
We’re hiring a Senior Supply Chain Manager to run our end-to-end supply chain across Ukraine (~70%) and Poland (~30%)—covering Procurement, Logistics, Warehousing, Fulfillment, and Last-Mile delivery. This is about building a lean, resilient, data-driven system with clear standards.

We’re looking for a supply chain fan — someone who lives by 5S, wants everything in its place, and makes flows tick like a watch. You’ll drive by metrics (OTIF, lead time, inventory accuracy, cost-per-unit), remove bottlenecks, and scale what works.

🚀 WHAT YOU WILL DO:

• Own strategy & execution (UA/PL): procurement, inbound/outbound logistics, customs, warehousing, inventory, fulfilment, reverse flows.
• Procurement: source suppliers (UA/EU), run RFQ/RFP, negotiate, manage contracts/SLAs, dual-source critical items.
• Logistics: manage domestic & cross-border (road/air), pick 3PLs, optimize routes/Incoterms, handle customs & export-control with Legal/Compliance.
• Warehousing & Inventory: standards, safety stocks, cycle counts, FIFO/FEFO; drive accuracy & shrinkage control.
• Fulfilment: predictable pick/pack/ship, improve DIFOT/OTIF, shorten lead times, clear ETA comms.
• Planning & Data: align forecasts with Sales/Finance, own ERP/WMS/MRP data & dashboards; improve OTIF, lead time, forecast accuracy, turns, fill rate, logistics cost/unit.
• Risk & Compliance: map single points of failure, build buffers/alternatives; ensure HSE/quality/export-control.
• Cross-functional leadership: partner with Engineering/Delivery, Legal, Finance, and Ops; run continuous improvement (lean, standard work, automation).

📌 WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

• 4+ years end-to-end supply chain (procurement/logistics/warehousing/last-mile), ideally hardware/defense/industrial.
• Builder’s mindset: design and roll out systems across UA/PL.
• Strong vendor management: sourcing, RFQ/RFP, negotiations, contracts/SLAs, supplier scorecards, dual-sourcing.
• Solid Incoterms, customs, cross-border, 3PL; baseline export-control.
• Data-driven: ERP/WMS, clean master data, ownership of KPIs (OTIF, lead time, inventory accuracy/turns, cost-to-serve).
• Stress-resilient and calm under pressure; clear, concise communicator who aligns stakeholders quickly and makes decisive calls.
• Fluent Ukrainian & English; Polish is a plus. High integrity, ownership, and readiness to travel UA↔PL.

🌱 WE OFFER:

• Mandate to build and lead the supply chain across UA/PL.
• Competitive salary & benefits (private health insurance, paid sick leave, 20 paid days off, corporate laptop).
• Defense-sector benefits (reservation, etc.)
• Direct impact in a high-stakes industry; real autonomy (budget, tools, choose/replace 3PLs & suppliers).
• Growth via international projects, EU trade rules/export-control exposure, and a strong EU supplier network.
