Key Responsibilities as a Supply Chain Quality Management Specialist include but are not limited to: 
  • Supplier Quality Compliance: Partner closely with the Quality Assurance (QA) department to verify that all suppliers possess current and valid quality certifications. Validate supplier QMS to ensure strict alignment with BAE Systems' quality requirements.
  • Onboarding & Documentation: Manage the Ivalua onboarding portal, ensuring all required supplier documents are uploaded, accurate, and current. Proactively track expiration dates for certifications to prevent lapses in supplier eligibility.
  • Approval Tracking: Utilize the departmental SharePoint site to track supplier approvals and maintain a comprehensive, audit-ready record of the approved supplier list.
  • SOW Processing: Upon notification of a Scope of Work (SOW) change by a Buyer or Program Manager, process the required documentation and track the necessary approvals through SharePoint to ensure the supplier remains qualified for the updated requirements.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration & Recommendation: Act as the primary bridge between P&S and QA to streamline the communication of quality expectations to the supply base. Evaluate supplier documentation and provide formal recommendations to the QA department, who holds the final authority for approval or disqualification.
  • Portfolio Management: Oversee quality compliance and documentation for approximately 2,000 suppliers across three shipyards.
Success Metrics (KPIs)
  • Compliance Rate: Maintain 100% compliance for supplier certifications to prevent production delays and regulatory findings.
  • Onboarding Efficiency: Reduce supplier onboarding lead time by 90% through proactive document management and streamlined portal processing.
  • Data Accuracy: Ensure zero discrepancies between the approved supplier list (SharePoint) and actual certification status in Ivalua.

Required Skills and Education

  • Minimum 2 years of experience in Supply Chain Quality, Quality Assurance, or Supplier Management, specifically within the defense or aerospace industry. 
  • Knowledge: Deep expertise in Quality Management Systems (QMS) and industry-standard quality certifications (e.g., ISO 9001, AS9100).
  • Professional Certification: CQM (Certified Quality Manager) certification is highly preferred
  • Attention to Detail: Exceptional organizational skills with a high degree of precision regarding expiration dates and compliance documentation.
  • Communication: Strong interpersonal skills for managing relationships with external vendors and internal technical teams.
  • Workflow Management: Ability to manage multiple concurrent approval workflows across a high-volume supplier base.

Preferred Skills and Education

  • Typically a Bachelor's Degree and 2 years work experience or equivalent experience. 
  • Proven experience with Ivalua (or similar supplier onboarding/SRM portals).
