Harmattan AI is a next-generation defense prime building autonomous and scalable defense systems. Following the close of a $200M Series B, valuing the company at $1.4 billion, we are expanding our teams and capabilities to deliver mission-critical systems to allied forces.
Our work is guided by clear values: building technologies with real-world impact, pursuing excellence in everything we do, setting ambitious goals, and taking on the hardest technical challenges. We operate in a demanding environment where rigor, ownership, and execution are expected.
About the Role
As we scale rapidly, we are investing in building the internal infrastructure that will support that growth - and indirect procurement is one of the last functions to be formally structured. To date, indirect spend and capital equipment purchases have been handled directly by the business units themselves, without centralised procurement oversight, sourcing strategy or supplier governance.
This role is a creation. You will be the first person at Harmattan to own this perimeter end-to-end - building the function from scratch, bringing structure where there is currently none, and establishing yourself as the go-to partner for every team when it comes to non-production spend and investment. This is not a role for someone looking to manage an existing process. It is a role for someone who sees an unmapped territory and wants to shape it.
Responsibilities
Strategy & Governance
•
Own the indirect sourcing strategy across all non-production categories: MRO, facilities, IT hardware and software, professional services, marketing & communications, travel, and CAPEX.
•
Define and implement sourcing plans by category — market analysis, supplier segmentation, make-or-buy considerations.
•
Build and maintain a supplier panel for indirect spend, ensuring performance, compliance and value-for-money.
