Cabin Supplier Interface Manager (d/f/m)

Job Description:

We are looking for a dedicated and experienced individual to join our team in Hamburg for the position of a Cabin Supplier Interface Manager (d/f/m)​. This role is crucial for ensuring Rework Cost Validation (RCV), continuous product and process improvement, and compliance with Supplier / On-Site Support (OSS) coordination agreements.

We offer you a responsible position where you can significantly contribute to maintaining our quality standards and actively participate in shaping and optimizing our internal and supplier supply chain processes. You will have extensive scope for action and decision-making in the review and negotiation of non-conformity liability and cost validation.

 

Your location

You will be working at the largest production site for civil aircraft situated in Hamburg. Its location on the southern banks of the river Elbe includes the option to commute by ferry. Experience the special flair of Hamburg in your spare time where vibrant cosmopolitan culture meets nautic legacy.

 

Your benefits

• Attractive salary and special payments

• 30 days paid vacation and extra days-off for special occasions

• Excellent upskilling opportunities and great international, group wide development prospects

• Special benefits: employer-funded pension, employee stock options, discounted car leasing, special conditions for insurances, transportation subsidy, employee benefits at cooperating companies

• On-site-facilities: Kindergarten close to the site, medical officer for check-ups and other health-related services, canteen and cafeteria

• Compatibility of family & work (job sharing, part-time models, flexible working hours, individual timeout)

• Working in a diverse environment, with more than 140 nationalities, where every voice is heard

Your tasks and responsibilities

• Rework Cost Validation: You'll work closely with On-Site-Support (OSS), its responsible departments in the Supplier Homebase (SHB), and our Airbus production areas to determine and agree on the correct liability for Non-Conformities (NCs). You'll clarify cross-program responsibilities for deviations from contractual compliance. This includes collecting, analyzing, and negotiating transnational cost data (time expenditure, material, delivery costs) from suppliers for all programs. You'll assert Airbus claims for complaints and confirm their factual accuracy.

• Process and Policy Implementation: You'll oversee the work for all local Cabin On-Site-Support and communicate applicable guidelines and processes. Furthermore, you'll define and create external company coordination agreements, including scheduling for Final Assembly Line (FAL) sites worldwide.

• Contract Design and Performance Monitoring: You'll design On-Site-Support-related contract components (OSS requirements, prices for performance disruptions of "OSS reactivity" when targets are not met, lump sums for sub-components). Regular reviews to monitor agreed cross-program On-Site-Support performance in cooperation with On-Site Support (OSS) management and supplier homebase management are also part of your duties.

• Problem Solving and Process Optimization: You'll support, lead, verify, and implement cross-departmental improvement projects. Identifying recurring problems (Airbus- and supplier-caused), initiating escalations, and developing and implementing measures for risks are also part of your role.

• Technical Expertise and Reporting: You'll contribute your technical and professional expertise to new product introductions, industrializations, and process improvements. You'll also create and revise generic and individual reports on resources, budget, and performance, as well as ad-hoc analyses for production and strategic purchasing.

 

Desired skills and qualifications

• Qualification: You have a completed university degree, ideally in engineering fields such as aerospace, mechanical, or manufacturing engineering, Industrial Engineering, or Business Administration with a strong technical affinity (or equivalent professional experience).

• Experience: You bring several years of professional experience in purchasing, manufacturing engineering, or production within an aerospace environment. First experience in Data Analytics would be a plus.

• Flexibility: You are prepared for recurring and sometimes unpredictable changes between different work areas and diverse technical requirements, working closely with the Airbus Supply Chain, our internal and external customers as well as our cabin supplier and its OSS.

• Collaboration and Adaptability: You are characterized by a strong ability for cross-functional consensual coordination at an international level, even with conflicting interests among various stakeholders such as engineering, purchasing, quality, FAL, Flightline, customers, and suppliers.

• Language Skills: Business fluent English (negotiation level) is essential, German skills are a plus.
