The company, formed in 2020 through the combination of Raytheon Company and the United Technologies Corporation aerospace businesses, is headquartered in Arlington, VA.  

The following position is to join our RTX Corporate team:

Role Overview:

The Director of Product Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management is responsible for leading the strategy and execution of cyber supply chain risk practices across the product lifecycle. This role ensures that products for both DoD and commercial aerospace sectors are designed, built, and delivered securely by integrating supplier risk oversight, secure‑by‑design expectations, vulnerability and counterfeit risk management, and assurance requirements into engineering and supply chain workflows. The Director partners with Business Unit (BU) Engineering & Program Management, Supply Chain, Quality, and Enterprise Services to identify and mitigate cyber supply chain risks to mission‑critical and safety‑critical functions. The role drives integration of C‑SCRM into system engineering, acquisition, and supplier management processes and aligns practices with relevant security and quality standards. This leader provides executive visibility into cyber supply chain risk posture, shapes long‑range C‑SCRM strategy, and champions continuous improvement of C‑SCRM capabilities across RTX. This role will report into the VP of RTX Product Cybersecurity.

What You Will Do:

• Lead the Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management (C‑SCRM) strategy and execution for products, with clear focus on supplier, component, and lifecycle assurance for DoD and commercial aerospace programs.
• Partner with RTX leadership (Engineering, Supply Chain, Enterprise Services, Quality) to define C‑SCRM strategy, coordinate key initiatives, and identify cyber supply chain risks to RTX products and services.
• Support DoD and commercial aerospace pursuits by defining secure supplier product development and assurance practices and integrating them into RFPs, proposals, and contract language (e.g., SBOM/HBOM, provenance, assurance artifacts).
• Drive Supplier Product Cybersecurity Risk Assessments and Assurance activities, including evaluation of development practices, provenance, counterfeit controls, and alignment to relevant standards.
• Define and drive cyber supply chain requirements for supplier‑provided components, firmware, software , and services, ensuring traceability from mission/safety‑critical functions down to sub‑tier suppliers.
• Integrate C‑SCRM controls into the product lifecycle and acquisition lifecycle, including architecture trades, supplier selection, verification planning, and sustainment/maintenance channels.
• Deliver clear, actionable reporting on cyber supply chain risk posture, vulnerabilities, counterfeit exposure, and trends to executive and senior leaders.
• Advise leadership on emerging C‑SCRM threats (e.g., firmware implants, silicon backdoors, compromised build pipelines, gray‑market infiltration), regulatory developments, and strategic investment needs.
• Represent RTX in cross‑industry and government forums related to C‑SCRM, aerospace assurance, and supply chain security, as appropriate.
• Establish, track, and continuously refine Product Cybersecurity C‑SCRM KPIs and metrics.

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Requires a University Degree or equivalent experience and a minimum 15 years of experience, or an Advanced Degree and a minimum 12 years experience.
• Minimum of 12 years experience in product, cybersecurity, or supply chain fields
• Experience guiding programs through secure engineering and assurance processes, including generation and review of key artifacts such as:
  • Mission critical function trees.
  • Supplier to function mapping matrices.
  • SBOMs, HBOMs, provenance maps, and trusted component registries.
  • Threat models and compromise scenario libraries tied to mission/safety impacts.
• Experience communicating and negotiating with external bodies (government customers, regulators, standards organizations, prime/sub tier suppliers) on C SCRM, assurance, and quality expectations.
• The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Qualifications We Prefer:

• Demonstrated ability to influence senior leadership and drive alignment across engineering, supply chain, quality, and program teams with differing priorities.
