About the role

Supply Chain Manager - US

Remote | Full-Time (US Time Zones)

We’re looking for a Supply Chain manager - US to own and scale the supply side of our marketplace. This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, loves building, and is excited about turning a complex sourcing operation into a well-oiled, scalable machine. You’ll be responsible for building and managing our US-based supplier ecosystem, and ensuring we meet the highest standards in quality, reliability, and delivery. If you’re a builder who moves fast, communicates well, and wants to shape the future of manufacturing - this one’s for you.

About Jiga

We’re a fast-growing, VC-backed Y Combinator company on a mission to transform how companies build physical products by making sourcing parts truly frictionless.

Engineers at companies like NASA and Fortune 500s use our AI-native collaborative platform to get high-quality custom parts, faster.

We’re rebuilding the supply chain from the ground up to support engineers with a collaborative experience and high-trust manufacturing partners.

We’re remote-first, async-friendly, and allergic to bureaucracy. We value performance over hours, ownership over excuses, and transparency over politics. Also, we play games together, question everything, and host annual offsites in beautiful places (Greece and Albania, so far).

Our approach to supply chain

We believe great supply chains are built on relationships and deep business understanding.

Our model gives us deep visibility and influence across the entire sourcing process, allowing us to ensure quality, speed, and cost-efficiency at scale. You’ll be the steward of our US supply network - managing capacity, solving challenges, and helping our partners grow with us.

You’ll work closely with our supply chain, product, and sales teams to ensure the experience is seamless for both our customers and our suppliers.

What you’ll do

  • Own and scale our US supply chain operations
  • Manage onboarding, vetting, and ramp-up of new suppliers
  • Maintain and grow strong, collaborative relationships with manufacturing partners
  • Monitor capacity and performance to ensure healthy supplier utilization and risk mitigation
  • Proactively resolve delivery, quality, and communication issues
  • Drive continuous improvement and process optimization across the supply network
  • Negotiate terms and pricing that align with business objectives
  • Collaborate with internal teams (engineering, procurement, operations, product) to align supplier capabilities with customer needs
  • Act as a champion for our suppliers inside the company, and for our company inside the supply chain

You’re a fit if you

  • Have 3+ years of experience in supply chain or manufacturing ops, ideally with custom mechanical parts
  • Have managed or built supply networks before - bonus if in aerospace, defense or robotic
  • Have led or coached teams (even small ones) and love helping others grow
  • Are a strong communicator and relationship builder - people like working with you
  • Thrive in fast-moving, remote-first environments
  • Own outcomes, move fast, and don’t wait for permission
  • Are entrepreneurial, scrappy, and excited to help build a world-class supply chain from scratch

Why join us

  • You’ll have the freedom to build, own, and lead your domain
  • You’ll get to work with top-tier customers solving real problems
  • You’ll join a team of builders who like to have fun, care about each other and what we’re creating
  • You’ll help shape the future of manufacturing
