What you get to do – As the Supply Chain Manager, you will develop and implement procurement strategies that align with organizational goals, driving operational efficiency, inventory control, and timely availability of products and services. You will manage the Purchasing department, overseeing all purchased products and services, including raw materials, hardware, finished goods, outside processes, and miscellaneous supplies, while leading, training, coaching, and developing Purchasing personnel to support their career growth. Day-to-day, you’ll oversee procurement activities, providing support on sourcing decisions, tactical input, and problem-solving, and you’ll establish and maintain procurement processes, procedures, work instructions, and standard work, adapting them as the business grows and evolves. You will also oversee Shipping and Receiving operations, ensuring accurate, timely, and well-documented inbound and outbound material flow. This includes managing dock-to-stock processes, receiving inspection coordination with Quality, carrier and freight relationships, and outbound shipment scheduling and documentation to meet customer and production commitments. You’ll manage kitting operations to support production schedules and customer orders, ensuring kits are accurate, complete, and delivered on time. You’ll own inventory accuracy as a core performance metric, driving cycle counting programs, periodic physical inventories, and root-cause analysis/corrective action for discrepancies, in partnership with Production and Quality. You will serve as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for procurement functions and job transactions within the ERP system, with SyteLine experience strongly preferred, and you’ll oversee customs compliance and international trade activities, including import/export documentation, tariff classification, customs broker relationships, and adherence to applicable trade regulations. You’ll be responsible for managing the broader supply base through sourcing, evaluating, selecting, monitoring performance via KPIs, and coordinating supplier audits. You’ll also maintain the Approved Supplier List (ASL) in accordance with our AS9100 Quality Management System, and negotiate supplier contracts covering terms and conditions, pricing, payment terms, delivery standards, quality requirements, and performance metrics. Beyond core procurement functions, you’ll identify and implement opportunities for strategic sourcing and cost reduction, and support ecommerce operations by coordinating inventory availability, order fulfillment, and supply planning in alignment with ecommerce demand. You will collaborate with the broader management team in a leadership capacity, driving strategic initiatives, developing and implementing policy, and mentoring personnel, while championing a Lean / Continuous Improvement mindset both within Purchasing, shipping, receiving, warehouse operations and companywide. Finally, you’ll facilitate collaboration across functions, working closely with Production and Account Management on customer orders, Sales on quotes and new supplier prospects, Quality on supplier quality issues, and logistics/customs brokers on import/export shipments.
