Job Description:

An opportunity for a Supply Chain & Conformance Specialist has arisen within Airbus Operations, Illescas (Toledo).

The selected candidate will join the Airframe Supply & Conformance Management Team, focusing on the Cargo Door perimeter for the A350 Freighter program. Our mission is to lead and coordinate end-to-end local supply chain and logistics operations-ranging from supplier ordering, inventory management, and parameterization to receiving quality and shop-floor conformance. Acting as a key interface within a multifunctional plant environment, you will drive supplier accountability, prevent production disruptions, and lead continuous improvement initiatives to ensure high-standard program execution.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The main tasks of the jobholder will be:

Steer end-to-end ordering and inventory management in SAP SPA, handling purchase orders (POs), forecasting, part parameterization, and stock coverage to secure production supply.
Establish and drive the Supply Chain Control Tower, conducting root-cause analyses on delays, disruptions, and missing parts to implement proactive operational action plans.
Act as the local Conformance & Procurement focal point, attending daily SQCDP meetings, participating in multifunctional plant teams, and managing receiving quality controls (inspections, purges, FAI, and concessions).
Lead supplier quality and issue resolution, driving Practical Problem Solving (PPS), containment plans, and 8D reports to systematically identify and correct root causes.
Manage escalations and plant events (SARI/IRAG), preparing robust business cases with manufacturing stakeholders when long-term actions, operational investments, or supplier recovery plans are needed.
Challenge and monitor vendor performance, auditing supplier execution, optimizing service level agreements (lead times, buffers, logistics), and managing New Product Introductions (NPI) and process changes.
