Job description

Position Overview

The Integrated Airborne Solutions Branch, part of the Defense Sector at Leidos, currently has an opening for a cleared Logistics & Supply Support Specialist to work in our Beavercreek, OH office. This is an exciting opportunity to use your experience supporting Air Force Research Laboratory, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, and other Department of Defense missions.

As part of our Logistics team, you will support a diverse portfolio of programs involving software design and development, hardware interfacing and integration, laboratory experimentation, ground and flight testing, and deployment of cutting-edge, next-generation solutions.

We are seeking an experienced, highly organized, and detail-oriented Logistics & Supply Support Specialist to support material availability, supplier coordination, delivery performance, receiving, accountable property interfaces, and supply-chain execution for assigned programs.

The position serves as a key coordination point among program teams, Logistics, Global Supply Chain (GSC), Contracts, Finance, Property, Engineering, Quality, and other functional organizations. The successful candidate will translate program material requirements into actionable logistics information, independently manage assigned material and supply-support activities within established processes, track materials throughout the acquisition and delivery lifecycle, maintain accurate supporting records, identify and analyze schedule and supply risks, and provide analytical and operational support to authorized GSC personnel.

The position may gather and analyze supplier and market information, coordinate requirements, prepare analyses and recommendations, monitor supplier and material status, identify emerging issues, and provide documentation necessary to support acquisition activities. The position does not independently select suppliers, negotiate contractual price or terms and conditions, obligate Leidos funds, execute or modify purchase orders or supplier agreements, or exercise Procurement/Purchasing authority. Those activities are performed by duly authorized Global Supply Chain personnel in accordance with company policy and delegated authority.

At Leidos, we outthink, outbuild, and outpace the status quo - because the mission demands it. We’re not hiring followers. We’re recruiting the ones who disrupt, provoke, and refuse to fail. Step 10 is ancient history. We’re already at step 30 - and moving faster than anyone else dares.

Primary Responsibilities

• Coordinate moderately complex program material and supply requirements with Program Management, Engineering, Logistics, Global Supply Chain (GSC), Property, Finance, Contracts, Quality, and other functional stakeholders; independently review requirements and supporting documentation for completeness and lead coordination to resolve gaps or inconsistencies prior to submission to GSC.
• Support authorized GSC personnel with supplier and sourcing activities by gathering requirements, researching potential sources, collecting publicly available or supplier-provided information, and preparing factual analyses and comparisons of price, availability, lead time, delivery schedule, technical characteristics, and other program requirements for GSC review and decision.
• Maintain accurate logistics, material, supplier-support, receiving, and transaction-support records in approved enterprise systems and program repositories; coordinate supplier onboarding and documentation activities by collecting, tracking, validating, and routing required information and records to the appropriate functional owner for review and approval.
• Independently track assigned material requirements throughout the acquisition and delivery lifecycle, including ordering, supplier acknowledgement, shipment, receipt, inspection, property accountability, and delivery; proactively monitor material status, lead times, delivery schedules, shortages, late deliveries, and open commitments, and communicate risks, impacts, and recommended actions to appropriate program and functional stakeholders.
• Coordinate material receipt, inspection, acceptance, storage, movement, issue, transfer, and disposition activities and lead coordination of routine delivery, quantity, receiving, quality-documentation, property, invoice, and other transaction discrepancies with GSC and applicable functional stakeholders.
• Support government accountable property processes by maintaining accurate material and property records and coordinating with authorized Property personnel regarding receipt, identification, transfer, inventory, disposition, and other property-management requirements.
• Perform material planning and logistics analysis, including demand tracking, material availability, lead-time analysis, shortage identification, delivery forecasting, supplier delivery performance, and identification of recurring transportation, receiving, inventory, or process issues; assess impacts and recommend practical corrective actions to the appropriate functional owner.
• Provide logistics, material, receiving, delivery, property, shipment, and other supply-support information and analysis needed to support authorized GSC purchase-order administration and closeout, as well as program planning, execution, and proposal-development activities.
• Apply working knowledge of applicable FAR, DFARS, contractual flow-downs, export-control, cybersecurity and controlled-information, counterfeit-parts avoidance, small-business, and company requirements; identify potential compliance or contractual issues and coordinate or escape them to the appropriate authorized functional personnel.
• Protect company, supplier, customer, proprietary, export-controlled, and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in accordance with applicable policies, contractual requirements, and authorized systems.
• Participate in and provide logistics input to program reviews, material-status meetings, internal reviews, audits, inventories, training, and continuous-improvement activities; analyze trends and recommend improvements to approved Logistics and supply-chain processes.
• Provide guidance and knowledge sharing to less-experienced team members, as appropriate, and serve as a logistics and material support resource for assigned programs while escalating matters requiring functional or delegated authority to the appropriate organization.
