Application close date: Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed. At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We're working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! This role is part of Blue Origin Operations, which is comprised of Integrated Supply Chain, Test Operations, Safety, Quality, and Mission Assurance. This includes Manufacturing and Supply Chain support across all Blue Origin facilities. The Procurement Expeditor manages open purchase orders from acknowledgment through final receipt, with a core focus on identifying and resolving delivery risk before it reaches the production floor. They are the primary point of contact for supplier delivery status, maintaining accurate, up-to-date PO health data and communicating deviations with clear proposed actions. A central responsibility of this role is working recovery and pull-in options with suppliers on late or at-risk orders. This includes identifying which orders require intervention, initiating direct supplier conversations about schedule recovery, evaluating available expedite paths (premium freight, supplier overtime, lot splitting, reallocation from existing stock), and analyzing the cost implications of each option. The Expeditor presents recovery recommendations to buyers and program stakeholders with a clear summary of options, costs, and trade-offs -- enabling fast, informed decisions. When financial expenditure is required to execute a recovery action, the Expeditor coordinates the approval process and ensures the action is tracked and closed. They partner closely with buyers to prioritize the most critical shortages, coordinate with the receiving team on inbound delivery logistics, and support invoice reconciliation when delivery-related discrepancies arise. They maintain supplier accountability through consistent follow-through and documented communication, and escalate unresolved risks through the appropriate channels. Key attributes for success: organized, persistent, financially aware, and a clear communicator under pressure. This role requires a bias toward action -- the Expeditor does not wait for problems to surface; they find them first and drive resolution. Passion for our mission and vision is required.
