About CloudNC
We’re on a mission to enable efficient manufacturing processes with a single click - creating a clean and sustainable industrial revolution that accelerates humanity.Job Description
Are you an accomplished Supply Chain Planner / Project Manager with experience of managing Aerospace/Automotive subcontract suppliers to achieve Delivery On-Time In-Full (OTIF)? If so, we’d love to hear from you…
Who are CloudNC?
We’re a dynamic manufacturing company looking to revolutionise the manufacturing industry. Combining software development and precision engineering, we’re building the world’s most intelligent factory by developing AI technology that fully automates Computer-Aided Manufacturing.
In excess of £150 Bn worth of components are produced using CNC machines every year and the industry is heavily reliant on human input, which is slow and costly. Demand and value of the industry is rapidly growing, as are the increased demands on a vanishing workforce (50% will retire within the next decade). So, we’re on a mission to automate manufacturing and create a clean and sustainable industrial revolution that accelerates humanity and our productivity.
We are driving a manufacturing revolution (Industry 4.0) and we have achieved notable success and world firsts where others have failed. We are ambitiously scaling up having closed on our Series B funding and achieving partnerships and investment from the best possible organisations in our respective industries, including: Autodesk (multi-industry software world leader), Lockheed Martin (the largest aerospace/defence company in the world), British Patient Capital (arm of the UK Gov’s British Business Bank focused on pushing R&D in high potential tech companies).
The Team...
The manufacturing team at CloudNC are masters of our machines. Many of our team have Formula 1, Aerospace and Automotive backgrounds and are broad in their experience and responsibilities, meaning they can produce estimates, run machines and provide machine strategies to support our customers and business needs. This means we have full accountability of a part's journey from quoting to the finished component, and you'll often see them working together to reduce cycle times and optimise manufacturing processes to make parts that delight our customers.
The team is flexible and they embrace the fast-moving, ever changing nature of being part of a start-up/scale-up. Never losing sight of our mission, the team has taken up the challenge to support CloudNC in building its first fully autonomous factory!
The Role…
Reporting to the commercial Manager and based remotely (but with regular travel to key suppliers), you will play a key part in this company's fast paced scaling and growth as we become the leading manufacturing automation solution. You can expect to work from home around 25% of the time with the rest of your time spent liaising with and visiting our suppliers - managing the supply chain to ensure orders are received on time, in full and assisting with the supply chain planning. There will also be occasional trips to our state of the art Factory in Chelmsford (perhaps once a month or so).
You will help to develop and implement OTIF processes whilst being the nexus for the business and all open orders within the supply chain. You will lead the work, but work closely with the Procurement, Commercial, Quality, Manufacturing Production and Tech teams to support the business needs and deliver a world class service to our customers.

● Working closely with the technology team to develop automated processes wherever practically possible.
● Work closely with Supplier Quality to be responsible for root cause, corrective and preventive actions for all non conforming components and processes, building strong working relationships with suppliers and customers as required.

● Experience of influencing suppliers
● Experience of creating and influencing cross-functional teams
● A recognised Project Management qualification (PRINCE2 or similar)

● A strong understanding of the dynamics of the Business, teams, functional departments and their interrelationships
