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.
Supplier Management & Procurement
- 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.
Inventory & Supply Chain Operations
- 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.
* Research shows that while men apply to jobs where they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other underrepresented people tend to only apply when they meet 100% of the qualifications. At Loft, we value respectful debate and people who aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions. We strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don’t check all the boxes.
Who We Are
Loft: Space Made Simple.
Founded in 2017, Loft provides governments, companies, and research institutions with a fast, reliable, and simple way to deploy missions in orbit.
We integrate, launch, and operate spacecraft, offering end-to-end missions as a service across Earth observation, IoT connectivity, on-orbit AI, national security missions, and more. Leveraging our existing space infrastructure and an extensive inventory of satellite buses, Loft is reducing years-long integration and launch timelines to months. With more than 30 missions flown, Loft’s flight heritage and proven technologies enable customers to focus on their mission objectives.
With a growing fleet on track to reach 30 satellites by 2027, we are scaling up quickly across our offices in San Francisco, CA | Golden, CO | and Toulouse, France to meet accelerating demand for space infrastructure.
