  • Reduce slow‑moving and excess inventory
  • Align stocking strategies with customer needs and growth goals

  • Implement second‑source strategies to reduce supply risk
  • Negotiate contracts, pricing, and performance expectations

Performance, Systems & Analytics

  • Track and report on key supply chain metrics
  • Leverage ERP tools (SAP Business One experience is a plus)
  • Use dashboards and data to drive decision‑making and continuous improvement

Cross‑Functional Leadership

  • Partner with Sales, Customer Service, Engineering, and Operations
  • Support company‑wide growth initiatives and process improvements
  • Influence stakeholders at all levels with clear communication and strong business acumen

🎯 What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Business, or related field
  • 5–10+ years of progressive experience in supply chain, procurement, or operations leadership
  • Background in industrial distribution or manufacturing is a plus
  • Proven success in scaling operations, optimizing inventory, and improving margins
  • Strong analytical skills and systems fluency (Excel, reporting tools, ERP)
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and cross‑functional collaboration skills
  • A continuous improvement mindset and a passion for operational excellence

💡 Why This Role Matters

You’ll be the architect of a supply chain built for scale—balancing service levels, working capital, and margin expansion while shaping the systems and strategies that fuel our next stage of growth.

If you want to make a measurable impact, lead with data, and build something exceptional, this is your opportunity.
