Supply Chain Strategic Sourcing Manager

Denver, Colorado

Start the Best Work of Your Career at Boom

At Boom, we’re building the world’s fastest airliner—and that takes more than cutting-edge engineering. It takes a supply chain built for speed, precision, and long-term partnership. As we scale up the development of Overture and Symphony, we’re looking for a Strategic Sourcing Manager to help us establish the supplier relationships that will make this aircraft and engine a reality. 

This isn’t procurement-as-usual. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with programs, engineering, and legal to bring world-class suppliers onboard, keep us ahead of risk, and ensure our sourcing strategy is aligned with the speed, quality, and sustainability Boom is known for.

Role Overview

  • Develop and drive Boom’s strategic sourcing vision across key commodities—both domestic and international
  • Lead cross-functional RFI and RFP processes alongside engineering and legal teams
  • Build trusted supplier relationships through direct engagement, from technical deep dives to trade shows and strategic reviews
  • Negotiate critical supply agreements that balance cost, performance, and long-term partnership
  • Define sourcing strategies that manage risk and support continuity of supply
  • Analyze industry trends and technology shifts to guide sourcing decisions and identify opportunities
  • Monitor supplier performance and maintain a supply chain risk matrix that enables proactive decision-making
  • Establish and enforce purchasing policies that support compliance, accountability, and efficiency
  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across supply chain operations
  • Challenge conventional supply chain norms and foster creative solutions that optimize costs, accelerate delivery times, and drive value
  • Identify vertical integration opportunities to strategically streamline supply chain operations and strengthen control

Ideal Candidate

  • Bachelor’s degree in business, engineering, or a related field
  • A strong track record in building and managing complex supplier partnerships
  • Confidence presenting ideas and plans to senior leadership and external stakeholders alike
  • High emotional intelligence and the ability to build consensus across engineering, legal, and finance
  • Deep comfort navigating ambiguity and juggling priorities in a high-stakes environment
  • A detail-oriented mindset paired with strong strategic instincts

What Will Set You Apart

  • MBA or advanced degree in supply chain, engineering, or business
  • Experience with international sourcing and global supplier management
  • Proven ability to lead cross-functional initiatives and influence without direct authority
  • Passion for aerospace or high-performance manufacturing
  • A reputation for being calm under pressure, creative in negotiation, and relentless in execution
  • Experience in a startup or high-growth environment—you know how to build from scratch, adapt quickly, and thrive without a playbook
  • Background in the aviation or aerospace industry—you understand the stakes, the standards, and what it takes to deliver in a regulated, high-performance environment
  • Thrived in a scrappy startup environment, leveraging resourcefulness and adaptability to drive innovative supply chain solutions, rapidly overcoming constraints to deliver impactful results

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
