We are seeking an Aftermarket Spares Manager to own the end-to-end fulfillment lifecycle for our Antenna Systems spares sales business. Supporting a diverse portfolio of commercial and government customers, you will be the primary engine driving our spares business—from the initial RFQ response to final delivery.

This is a strategic position requiring a blend of technical curiosity and business insight.

• Advanced Excel skills for data analysis.
• Strong ability to influence others.
• Must be a US Citizen

Nice To Haves

• You don’t need a roadmap; you build one. You are comfortable making decisions and driving projects forward with minimal direction.
• You’re comfortable discussing antenna schematics one hour and profit margins the next.
• You enjoy digging into reliability data to find patterns and opportunities for proactive spares positioning.

Responsibilities

• Own the entire spares lifecycle while providing outstanding customer service.
• Manage RFQ proposal responses using pricing models.
• Coordinate internal pricing and lead times and track orders until they are successfully delivered for both make and buy components.
• Partner closely with Systems Engineering to navigate sophisticated technical requirements.
• Identify and qualify alternative solutions or modern equivalents for obsolete components.
• Develop Recommended Spares Parts Lists (RSPLs) to provide customers with proactive maintenance solutions and drive incremental revenue.
• Serve as the central point of contact, coordinating with Procurement for sourcing, Planning for factory coordination, Engineering for technical solutions, and Business Development for strategic account growth.
• Present at executive-level forums such as Program Management Reviews.
• Navigate the specific documentation and delivery requirements for both high-stakes government contracts and fast-paced commercial accounts.
