Job description

At Relativity Space, we’re building rockets to serve today’s needs and tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. But that’s just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known.

Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here, you're not just executing tasks; you're solving problems that haven’t been solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up. Whether you’re in propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or a corporate function, you’ll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. Relativity is a place where creativity and technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the stories we’re writing together. Now is a unique moment in time where it’s early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.

About the Team:

The Supply Chain team turns design intent into executable reality, balancing lead time, cost, complexity, and manufacturability to ensure we can build and scale Terran R. On this team, you're not just placing orders; you're actively shaping the solution. With full ownership across raw materials, capital equipment, and services, the role requires both strategic thinking and day-to-day execution. As the company scales, supply chain becomes increasingly central, working closely with engineering, quality, manufacturing, and more to make decisions that work for today but also for tomorrow. This is a team for those who want to operate at the intersection of technical ambition and business execution, driving tangible progress to keep the Terran R program on track.

About the Role:

• Support the development and implementation of our supply chain strategy for your designated scope.
• Manage a broad and diverse vendor base to build and maintain long‑term relationships that maximize value for both parties.
• Leverage forecasts and direct requests to develop commodity strategies and drive sourcing activities through contract implementation.
• Manage end-to-end process including, but not limited to PO Creation, RFI/RFQ/RFP process, Invoice Resolution, full supplier and stakeholder relationship management.
• Identify and capture cost savings as part of RFPs, leading negotiations with suppliers; build strategic, long‑term relationships with supply partners to maximize value for both parties.
• Develop relationships with internal stakeholders to anticipate requirements and implement procurement strategies aligned to business requirements.

About You:

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain/Operations Management, Business, Economics, Finance, or similar.
• 5+ years of demonstrated success in a strategic sourcing, manufacturing, or engineering role.
• Knowledge of enterprise applications (i.e., PLM, ERP, MES)

Nice to haves but not required:

• Master’s degree in Engineering, Business Administration, Supply Chain/Operations Management, or similar.
• Knowledge of contract structures, contract negotiations, contract implementation, and vendor management.
• Expertise in contract structures, contract negotiations, contract implementation, and vendor management.
