• Support Strategic Sourcing by contributing to Subcontractor Statements of Work, evaluating proposals and performing cost/pricing analysis.
• Act as escalation point for Tier‑1 suppliers when they encounter issues with Moog‑approved OSPs.
• Lead negotiations for changes to subcontract requirements and maintain all required contractual records.
• Ensure subcontract compliance with company policies and applicable regulations (e.g., REACH, AEO, Technical Assistance Agreements, Manufacturing License Agreements, EAR, ITAR, UK military regulations where applicable).
• Manage onboarding of new OSPs in Europe to support business needs.
