About Allied Components International:

Allied Components International is a private label distributor of electronic components, specializing in magnetic components, inductors, transformers, and RJ45 connectors. We are committed to delivering high-quality products and reliable service to our customers worldwide. As we continue to grow, we are focused on expanding our product offerings and improving operational efficiency. We are seeking a strong, capable General Manager with a solid operational and engineering background to lead our company to new heights

About the Role:

The Operations Manager will oversee Allied’s end-to-end supply-chain and fulfillment engine. Reporting to the Managing Director, you will manage daily order processing, inventory control, logistics, quality, and customer support—ensuring smooth coordination across procurement, warehouse, finance, and sales. This role is perfect for an execution-oriented leader who loves data, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and continuous improvement initiatives.

Key Responsibilities:

• Operational Oversight: Lead daily order-to-cash activities—order entry, procurement, inventory management, and outbound logistics—to hit service-level targets.
• Process Improvement: Develop, document, and refine SOPs that shorten cycle times, reduce errors, and scale efficiently; champion ISO-9001 best practices.
• Inventory & Supply-Chain Management: Optimize inventory turns, maintain accurate stock levels, and manage vendor relationships to ensure on-time product availability.
• 3PL & Logistics Coordination: Manage relationships with 3PL partners in California and Hong Kong; monitor freight performance, costs, and delivery reliability.
• Quality & Compliance: Maintain ISO documentation, spearhead corrective actions, and ensure compliance with industry standards, trade regulations, and company policies.
• Data & Reporting: Track KPIs (OTD, inventory turns, order cycle time, RMA rate), analyze root causes, and present actionable insights to leadership.
• Team Development: Coach and develop staff across operations, procurement, warehouse, and customer service to foster accountability and continuous improvement.
• AI & Automation Initiatives: Identify and pilot RPA/AI opportunities (e.g., automated quoting, demand forecasting) to reduce manual touches and boost scalability.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as the bridge between operations, sales, marketing, and finance to ensure alignment with company objectives and customer commitments.

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience: 5+ years in operations management, supply chain, or logistics, ideally within the electronics or industrial components industry.
• Leadership: Proven experience managing cross-functional teams with an ability to lead through influence and direct management.
• Operational Expertise: Deep knowledge of order processing, procurement, supplier negotiation, inventory management, and logistics.
• Tools: Proficient with QuickBooks Enterprise or similar ERP systems; familiarity with order management and shipping software.
• Analytical Skills: Strong Excel/Sheets and BI tool proficiency; ability to turn data into process improvements and cost savings.
• Problem-Solving: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a proactive, solutions-oriented approach.
• Communication: Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to collaborate across global teams and vendors.
• Adaptability: Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities.
• Bonus Points: Six Sigma Green Belt, experience deploying RPA/AI automations, or background in magnetic components/electronics.
  

Why Join Allied?

• Impactful Role: Directly manage the daily operations and lead a team in delivering exceptional customer experiences.
• Growth Opportunity: Play a key role in a growing organization, with potential for expanded responsibilities over time.
• Collaborative Team: Work closely with a leadership team that values accountability, efficiency, and continuous improvement.
• Remote Flexibility: Work remotely while managing a global team and supply chain.
