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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 evaluate and implement more advanced systems in the next 1–2 years.
Projects hit their cost and schedule milestones, with measurable contribution from supplier programs you launched.
A working procurement and inventory operating system is in place and used by the team across FAB0 and FAB1.
We have a clear, accurate view of inventory and material spend that holds up in board reviews and investor diligence.
Your team is leveled up, scoped, and growing.
You've delivered at least one significant strategic initiative outside the supply chain lane.
You're recognized internally as the trusted senior leader on anything that touches construction materials.
10+ years in supply chain, procurement, or operations at scaling hardware, deep tech, or manufacturing companies. Backgrounds like automotive OEMs, aerospace, advanced manufacturing, or modular construction at scale all map well.
You've been the strategic layer above tactical procurement — owning supplier programs, cost-down initiatives, multi-site supply chain replication, or category strategy at meaningful scale.
You've managed managers and tactical operators, and earn credibility with both.
You've been through at least one 01 or 110 scaling motion in a hardware or manufacturing environment.
MBA or equivalent strategic operating experience is strongly preferred.
You're a clear, structured written communicator. You can take a messy problem, write a memo that reframes it, and walk into a room with a recommendation.
You're comfortable starting scrappy (Sheets, QuickBooks, basic databases) and using that to design what's next, rather than waiting for tooling.
You're energized by being a thought partner to the executive team on problems outside your formal lane.
Experience in construction, modular / off-site construction, building products, or adjacent manufacturing.
Experience leading supply chain through an ERP / WMS implementation as the operations or supply-chain lead customer.
Direct experience with vendor contracts and the business-side legal interface.
