At Aeon, we develop advanced missile systems, built for ground and air platforms. We take pride in our dynamic team that allows us to iterate, build and test quickly. If you are looking to solve hard problems with a passionate team in a hands-on, fast-paced environment, Aeon is the place for you. We are a vertically integrated defense manufacturer developing and producing advanced strike systems and critical subsystems at industrial scale for major defense programs. From its 140,000-square-foot manufacturing facility, Aeon will bring weapon design and production under one roof, including propulsion, fusing, autonomy and other critical subsystems. Led by former special operators, senior government officials and experienced aerospace and defense engineers, Aeon is a trusted partner to U.S. government customers and industry. We are building next-generation defense solutions, with programs in active development and in low-rate production. We are hiring a Senior Buyer Contracts and Procurement to oversee procurement and negotiation for both direct and indirect hardgoods and services. This position will help transform the current ad hoc and unstructured procurement process into a disciplined, scalable and compliant acquisition function for AEON. This strategic procurement opportunity will report to the VP of Supply Chain and work closely with the engineering and manufacturing organizations to stand up a procurement process to support business needs. This role is perfect for entrepreneurial self-starters, that work well in start-up cultures where creativity and flexibility is critical. Because we operate under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and U.S. Government contracting requirements, fluency in export-controlled and defense-regulated supply chains is essential to this role.
