High demand for ‘operational scale’ experts. Supply is low because most supply chain talent is stuck in legacy ‘procurement’ roles rather than ‘programmatic scaling’ roles.
š ALPHA SIGNAL:
This role is the ‘plumbing’ of a multi-billion dollar defense machine. Mastering the supply chain at this scale makes you a high-value asset for any hardware-focused unicorn, effectively insulating your mortgage against economic downturns.
