Raytheon’s Operations & Supply Chain (OSC) Digital Solutions organization is seeking a hands-on, multi-disciplinary Product Owner responsible for maximizing the value of supply chain solutions by prioritizing the product backlog, aligning stakeholders, and ensuring successful delivery through strong project leadership, business analysis, and change management. It goes beyond traditional backlog management and requires regular work as a tester, change manager, and data analyst. The ideal candidate is comfortable switching between these responsibilities throughout the week, and sometimes throughout the day.
What You Will Do
Product Ownership and Delivery
- Own, maintain, and prioritize the product backlog for supply chain systems.
- Balance input from business stakeholders, Logistics and Property teams, and leadership.
- Write clear, actionable user stories and acceptance criteria for developers and testers.
- Track scope, schedule, risks, and issues; communicate trade-offs early.
Testing and Quality
- Write and execute test cases for new features and system changes.
- Reproduce and triage defects to determine whether issues stem from data, configuration, or code.
- Partner with the appropriate teams to drive issues to resolution.
Data Understanding and Solution Design
- Understand data sources, structures, and system data flows to design accurate forms, workflows, and solutions.
- Write and run SQL or Snowflake queries to validate assumptions before design and development.
- Identify potential downstream impacts and prevent data integrity issues before deployment.
Change Management and Training
- Lead end-user adoption for new system or process changes.
- Create training materials, facilitate training sessions, and provide post-launch support.
- Anticipate and manage resistance to change to ensure successful rollouts.
Documentation and Stakeholder Alignment
- Create Business Cases, Project Charters, User Stories, Acceptance Criteria, RASCIs, and risk analyses.
- Communicate effectively with cross-functional teams and executive-level stakeholders.
- Translate technical details into clear, accessible information for non-technical audiences.
- Develop ROI justification for proposed solutions.
Qualifications You Must Have
- Typically requires a University degree or equivalent experience and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 year’s experience.
- Agile product ownership experience — backlog management, story writing, sprint participation.
- Hands-on troubleshooting and problem-solving skills — demonstrated ability to diagnose issues, identify root causes, and drive resolution across cross-functional teams (not just document them).
- Strong SQL skills — comfortable writing your own queries (joins, aggregations) to pull and analyze data, not solely reliant on pre-built dashboards or a BI team.
- Experience collecting and documenting system requirements and business processes.
- Professional experience with Microsoft Office applications, including Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Visio, and Microsoft Project.
- U.S. Person (U.S. citizen, permanent resident, refugee, or asylee) or eligible to obtain necessary export authorizations. 22 CFR § 120.62
Qualifications We Prefer
- Experience in Supply Chain, Property, or Logistics.

- Familiarity with SAP, Fiori UX, or JIRA.
- Experience with Snowflake or advanced reporting tools.

Supply Chain Lead Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a supply chain lead in Virginia?
Virginia does not require a state-issued license to work as a supply chain lead. Most employers expect a bachelor's degree in supply chain management, business, or a related field, combined with several years of progressive supply chain experience. Professional certifications from APICS, such as the CSCP or CPIM, carry real weight with Virginia employers, particularly those working on federal and defense contracts. Gaining experience in procurement, inventory, or logistics coordination is the most direct path into a lead role.
How much do supply chain leads make in Virginia?
Supply chain leads in Virginia earn a median of about $98,920 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $64,000 for the lowest 10% to over $156,750 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire supply chain leads in Virginia?
Employers hiring supply chain leads in Virginia right now include Amazon, Booz Allen Hamilton, and HII, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Virginia's large defense contractor presence and federal agency ecosystem mean many of these employers require familiarity with government acquisition regulations and compliance standards.
Which Virginia cities have the most supply chain lead jobs?
Arlington, Richmond, and McLean have the most supply chain lead openings in Virginia. Northern Virginia drives the largest share of postings because of its dense concentration of federal agencies and defense contractors, while Richmond and Hampton Roads contribute steady volume through manufacturing, port logistics, and regional distribution operations anchored by major employers in those metros.
Are there remote supply chain lead jobs in Virginia?
Yes, but they are less common than in purely analytical roles because supply chain leads often oversee physical inventory, vendor sites, or warehouse operations that require on-site presence. About 31% of supply chain lead openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of September 2026. The parts of the role most likely to go remote are procurement analysis, supplier coordination, and reporting functions that do not require direct floor or warehouse oversight.
How can I get hired as a supply chain lead in Virginia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into a coordinator or analyst role first, then building toward a lead position. Large Virginia employers like Northrop Grumman and Amazon operate rotational supply chain programs and hire associates into procurement, inventory, and logistics support roles that feed into lead-level openings. Pursuing an APICS Certified in Logistics, Transportation and Distribution credential while in an entry role strengthens your candidacy. Lateral moves from roles like purchasing coordinator, warehouse supervisor, or operations analyst are the most common transitions Virginia hiring managers recognize.
Where can I find and apply to supply chain lead jobs in Virginia?
