At Aston Martin, our supply chain is fundamental to everything we achieve. It underpins performance, quality and innovation, and plays a direct role in shaping the future success of the business. Within Procurement, we are responsible not only for selecting and managing our supplier base, but for building long-term, high-value partnerships that drive sustainable competitive advantage. We are now introducing a pivotal new role — Senior Procurement Manager, Strategic Supply Chain Design — an opportunity to define and deliver the long-term vision of our supply chain and create meaningful impact across the organisation. The Opportunity This is a highly strategic position, focused on shaping the future of Aston Martin’s supply chain. Reporting to the Procurement Director, you will lead the definition of a long-term supply chain vision and translate that vision into a clear, actionable roadmap. Working across Procurement, Manufacturing, Engineering, Programmes and Finance, you will act as a senior integrator, aligning priorities and ensuring that decisions are made with an enterprise-wide perspective. Your work will balance cost, resilience, capacity, quality and sustainability, ensuring the supply chain is designed to support both immediate needs and long-term growth. You will also play a key role in building capability, establishing a team aligned to the future operating model and creating a structured, targeted approach to strategic sourcing. What You’ll Be Doing At the core of this role is the ownership of supply chain strategy. You will define the target architecture for the future, ensuring alignment across functions and establishing a clear direction for how the supply chain should evolve. You will lead large-scale transformation initiatives, resetting the value chain through structured delivery plans, robust governance and clearly defined roadmaps. This includes rethinking the operating model, optimising the supply base, and shaping decisions around footprint, make versus buy, and assembly strategies. Your work will involve complex trade-offs, requiring a deep understanding of total cost of ownership, risk modelling and long-term value creation. You will ensure that every decision is grounded in data, aligned to business strategy and delivering measurable outcomes. Collaboration will be central to your success. You will bring together diverse stakeholders, ensuring alignment and clarity, while influencing decisions at the highest level without direct authority. Your Impact This role will directly shape the future of Aston Martin’s supply chain. Through your leadership, the organisation will move towards a more optimised, resilient and forward-looking operating model. You will enable smarter sourcing decisions, strengthen supplier partnerships and ensure that the supply chain is fully aligned with the company’s strategic ambitions. Your work will have a lasting impact on profitability, efficiency and long-term business performance. About You You are a strategic thinker with the ability to see the bigger picture while navigating complexity with confidence. You have experience defining and delivering transformation at an enterprise level, and you are comfortable operating in environments where multiple priorities and stakeholders need to be aligned. You bring a strong presence and credibility, able to influence, challenge and guide senior stakeholders even where you may not have direct authority. You are resilient, thoughtful and driven by outcomes, with a natural ability to turn strategy into tangible, measurable results. Your approach is structured and analytical, yet pragmatic. You can assess complex scenarios, balance competing factors and make decisions that deliver long-term value. Your Experience You will have demonstrated experience in end-to-end purchasing and supply chain design, within automotive or complex industrial environments. You understand the dynamics of global supply networks and have made or influenced decisions around industrial footprint, make versus buy, and supply base optimisation. Experience leading large-scale strategic programmes or transformation initiatives will be essential, along with a strong grasp of financial drivers, including total cost of ownership and value-based decision making. Most importantly, you bring the ability to connect strategy with execution, ensuring that vision is translated into real, sustained business impact.
