Wanna join the adventure?

At Loft Orbital, we're on a mission to make space simple. We develop and operate innovative satellite missions, and our success depends on delivering high-quality hardware and services on time and within budget.

As we continue to expand globally, we're looking for a Supply Chain Manager to support our growing operations in France.

In this role, you'll take ownership of key supply chain activities, with a particular focus on supplier negotiations, procurement, inventory management, and international logistics. You'll work closely with our engineering, manufacturing, quality, and global supply chain teams to ensure materials and equipment are available when needed, suppliers meet our expectations, and shipments move efficiently across borders.

We're looking for someone who enjoys being hands-on, thrives in a fast-paced technical environment, and can balance day-to-day execution with continuous improvement.

About this Role:

  • Lead supplier negotiations, including contracts, long-term agreements, pricing structures, and commercial terms, to achieve the best balance of cost, quality, and delivery performance.
  • Manage procurement of direct and indirect materials, ensuring timely availability to support production and testing activities.
  • Develop, evaluate, and maintain a reliable and qualified supplier base, ensuring vendors meet Loft's quality, compliance, and operational standards.
  • Partner with Engineering, Quality, and other stakeholders to ensure suppliers are appropriately evaluated, approved, and added to our Approved Vendor List (AVL).
  • Monitor supplier performance, identify potential risks, and implement corrective action plans when necessary.
  • Build and maintain strong supplier relationships to improve delivery reliability, responsiveness, and overall value.
  • Ensure procurement activities comply with internal policies, applicable regulations, and documentation and traceability requirements.
  • Oversee inventory management activities, including stock accuracy, safety stock levels, cycle counting, and inventory optimization.
  • Support material planning to meet production and testing schedules while minimizing shortages, excess inventory, and operational disruptions.
  • Maintain accurate procurement, inventory, and logistics transactions within our ERP system (NetSuite).
  • Collaborate with global supply chain, engineering, manufacturing, and operations teams to address material availability challenges and improve workflows.
  • Contribute to the development and implementation of scalable supply chain processes as Loft continues to grow internationally.

Must Haves:

  • 3–5 years of experience in supply chain, procurement, or a related operational function, with exposure to multiple areas such as purchasing, inventory management, and logistics.
  • Demonstrated experience negotiating with suppliers, including pricing, commercial terms, contracts, or long-term purchasing agreements.
  • Hands-on experience coordinating inbound and outbound shipments, including international logistics and import/export processes
  • Experience working in a production, manufacturing, engineering, or testing environment.
  • Experience managing supply chain transactions within an ERP system.
  • Fluent in both French and English, with the ability to collaborate effectively with international teams and suppliers.
  • Strong organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills, with excellent attention to detail.
  • Ability to work autonomously, manage competing priorities, and take ownership of operational challenges.
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills, particularly when working with suppliers and cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and comfort working with operational data.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.

Nice to Haves:

  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Logistics, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience using NetSuite, particularly its purchasing and inventory management modules.
  • Experience in the aerospace, space, defense, or other highly regulated technical industries.
  • Familiarity with electronics manufacturing, hardware production, or testing environments.
  • Knowledge of international trade compliance, customs procedures, and export-controlled materials.
  • Experience supporting supply chain activities across multiple countries or locations.
  • ASCM/APICS certification or equivalent supply chain training.
  • Experience implementing process improvements or developing supply chain procedures in a growing organization.

Some of Our Awesome Benefits:

  • Equity, we want you to have an active role in our success
  • Up to 35 days of Paid Time Off (vacations & RTT ) and flexible working hours, we want you to be at your best
  • Health and life insurance, we care about your health
  • Lunch Vouchers, because let’s be honest, we love food! (we even have a slack channel about it #loft-gourmand)
  • Cross-office travel opportunities between San Francisco, Colorado, and Toulouse to learn from our differences

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
