Description

As Program Manager, Supply Chain, you will own and drive the full supply chain program - from strategic sourcing and supplier development through demand planning, inventory management, and materials fulfillment for production.

Partner with engineering during NPI to drive component selection toward supply-resilient, cost-effective, and readily available parts

Manage supplier relationships, scorecards, and performance reviews

Demand Planning & Inventory Management

Develop and maintain demand forecasts in collaboration with product, engineering, and leadership; translate forecasts into material requirements and procurement plans

Manage inventory Levels to balance availability against carrying cost and obsolescence risk

Track and communicate parts availability status, shortages, and risk to production schedules; drive resolution of critical shortages

Production Materials & CM Coordination

Serve as the primary supply chain interface with the contract manufacturer - coordinating materials planning, consigned vs. turnkey decisions, and kitting

Monitor supplier on-time delivery and component yield; drive corrective actions for chronic performance issues

Support subassembly and system builds with real-time materials visibility and escalation paths

Own the end-to-end PO lifecycle from issuance through receipt and reconciliation

Operations & Process Development

Build and scale supply chain processes, tools, and systems appropriate from concept to production - including ERP/MRP setup or optimization

Lead cost reduction initiatives through negotiation, re-sourcing, and design-to-cost partnerships with engineering

Manage logistics and freight strategy for inbound materials and outbound finished goods

About the team

Fauna Robotics, an Amazon company, is building capable, safe, and genuinely delightful robots for everyday life. Our goal is simple: make robots people actually want to live and interact with in everyday human spaces.

We believe that future won't arrive until building for robotics becomes far more accessible. Today, too much effort is spent reinventing the fundamentals. We're changing that by developing tightly integrated hardware and software systems that make it faster, safer, and more intuitive to create real-world robotic products.

Our work spans the full stack: mechanical design, control systems, dynamic modeling, and intelligent software. The focus is not just functionality, but experience. We're building robots that feel responsive, expressive, and genuinely useful.

At Fauna, you'll work at the frontier of this space, helping define how robots move, manipulate, and interact with people in natural environments. It's an opportunity to solve hard problems across hardware and software with a team focused on making robotics accessible and joyful to build.

If you care about making robotics real for everyone and building systems that are as delightful as they are capable, we're interested in hearing from you.

5+ years of program or project management experience

Experience using data and metrics to determine and drive improvements

Experience owning program strategy, end to end delivery, and communicating results to senior leadership

Experience in supply chain program, project, or automation related product management, or leading an implementation of a product

Experience managing and negotiating contracts and vendor relationships

Experience that includes strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and effective communication abilities

Proficiency with MRP/ERP systems and BOM-driven planning processes

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in trade compliance, customs operations, customs brokerage, supply chain, logistics or similar

Experience in an environment where supply chain systems and processes were built from the ground up

Background in NPI supply chain support - DFM feedback, AVL development, cost modeling

Experience with commodity management across categories such as motors, sensors, custom extrusions/castings, and electronics
