Description
ABOUT US
Reframe Systems is building the engine of housing abundance. We integrate autonomous design software, flexible robotics, and a distributed network of microfactories to mass-customize climate-resilient, low-carbon housing at scale. Our microfactories deploy in under 100 days, our software-defined manufacturing pipeline turns architectural intent directly into production, and our homes are zero-energy ready, resilient by default, and engineered for the realities of the next century.
We're scaling from one microfactory in Andover to a network of microfactories across North America. Supply chain is one of the highest-leverage functions in the company.
THE ROLE
We're hiring a Head of Supply Chain to lead the strategy, programs, and operating system for construction materials across our factory and field operations.
This is a senior leadership role for someone who has been the strategic layer above tactical procurement at a high-growth hardware or manufacturing company, and who is energized by being a cross-functional thought partner — not just a procurement function leader.
You will lead a team that runs day-to-day procurement and inventory operations, freeing you to focus on supplier strategy, cost-down programs, the operating system that scales across multiple factories, and the cross-functional integration of supply chain into design, DFMA, and project delivery. You'll also carry meaningful bandwidth for strategic initiatives at the executive team's request — work that sits outside the supply chain lane and where your judgment and synthesis are the product.
You'll report to the Head of Factory Operations and manage our Procurement, Buyer & Inventory function from day one.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
DRIVE MEASURABLE COST-DOWN ON $/SQFT THROUGH STRATEGIC SUPPLIER PROGRAMS.
- Launch 2–3 strategic supplier programs in high-impact categories (e.g., windows, cabinets, structural lumber, MEP equipment).
- Build leverage where Reframe doesn't yet have scale — through standardization, multi-year commitments, alternate sourcing, and direct manufacturer relationships.
- Co-own $/sqft cost trajectory with our Design team.
BUILD THE PROCUREMENT AND INVENTORY OPERATING SYSTEM THAT SCALES ACROSS THE FABRICATION NETWORK.
- Develop a documented, teachable process from permit set → BOM → RFQs → POs → receiving → kitting → project closeout.
- Establish supply chain data standards: part numbering, BOM structure, stock vs. buy-to-job logic, supplier and inventory data models.
- Stand up a simple but reliable inventory and spend picture using existing tools, and use it as the basis for future ERP / WMS requirements.
BUILD THE TEAM AND THE LEADERSHIP BENCH.
- Manage and develop a team including Procurement, Buying, and Inventory Management.
- Set clear scope, standards, and growth paths so the team operates day-to-day without escalation.
- Hire and grow the function as Reframe scales to additional microfactories.
EMBED SUPPLY CHAIN INTO DESIGN, DFMA, AND PROJECT DELIVERY.
- Sit in Design conversations and credibly shape decisions with cost, lead-time, and supply-risk data.
- Propose and analyze material alternatives; co-decide on changes that affect building systems, permitting, or installation.
- Partner with Factory and Site Operations to ensure material plans actually work on the floor and on site.
BE A STRATEGIC THOUGHT PARTNER TO THE EXECUTIVE TEAM.
- Carry approximately 20% bandwidth for strategic initiatives outside the supply chain lane — investor-facing analysis, JV partner due diligence support, market entry studies, business model exploration, and other high-leverage projects.
- Bring structured thinking and clear written communication to executive-level decisions.
SHAPE OUR FUTURE SYSTEMS.
- Translate real-world workflows into clear requirements for a future ERP / WMS, in partnership with Software and Finance.
- Act as the primary operational stakeholder when we eva
