Kforce has a client in Orlando, FL that is seeking a Head of Supplier Sourcing & Quoting to lead a critical function operating at the intersection of OEM and distributor relationships and quoting operations. Summary: The Head of Quoting serves as an orchestrator coordinating across OEMs, distributors, and internal stakeholders to ensure fast, accurate, and reliable quotes, while activating external relationships that accelerate access and responsiveness. Key Responsibilities:
  • Build, maintain, and activate relationships across aerospace & defense distributors and OEM channel teams
  • Understand and navigate supplier ecosystems, including OEM ownership models, distributor dynamics, and program alignment
  • Identify and engage the right contacts to ensure prioritization, responsiveness, and clarity on pricing, lead times, and availability
  • Operate as a connector between external suppliers and internal teams to unblock quoting and sourcing challenges
  • Own the end-to-end quoting lifecycle: RFQs, follow-ups, validation, escalation, and delivery
  • Ensure quotes are accurate and complete (pricing, availability, lead time, condition, traceability)
  • Keep quoting activity flowing while managing external dependencies and escalations
  • Establish and enforce SLAs, KPIs, and operational discipline around turnaround time and quality
  • Serve as an early-warning signal for shortages, allocation issues, obsolescence, or market tightening
  • Build and scale the quoting function as volume and complexity increase
  • Hire, train, and manage quoting specialists aligned by supplier, commodity, or platform
  • Track and report metrics including quote volume, turnaround time, win rates, and vendor responsiveness
  • Partner cross-functionally to improve process efficiency, tooling, and data visibility over time

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
  • Experience in aerospace & defense distribution, OEM channel roles, sourcing, or quoting
  • Direct experience working with distributors and/or OEM channel organizations
  • Demonstrated ability to manage both external relationships and internal operational flow
  • Strong understanding of quoting dynamics, lead times, allocations, and compliance expectations
  • Comfort operating in a fast-moving, build-as-you-go environment
Preferred Experience:
  • Background in aerospace & defense distribution or OEM aftermarket/channel organizations
  • Exposure to regulated supply chains, defense programs, or classified environments
  • Familiarity with complex, multi-stakeholder supplier ecosystems
  • Experience specializing by sector, OEM, or program/weapon system
What Success Looks Like:
  • Quotes are delivered quickly, accurately, and consistently
  • Distributors and OEMs respond because of established trusted relationships
  • Quoting is no longer a bottleneck and becomes a competitive advantage
  • Leadership has visibility into supply risk, pricing movement, and availability trends
