Job DescriptionJob Description Summary

Are you a natural problem-solver who thrives in fast-paced environments-and someone who believes that great leadership means building people as much as processes?
We're looking for a Supply Chain Flow Cell Leader to take full ownership of our material flow operations. In this critical role, you'll lead cross-functional logistics teams, ensure flawless movement of materials from receipt to production, and coach your team toward continuous improvement. You won't just keep things running-you'll make them run better every day.
This is your chance to lead from the front, shape scalable systems, and build a high-performance culture rooted in accountability, collaboration, and growth.

Job Description

What You'll Lead, Improve, and Coach:

• End-to-End Material Flow - Oversee the complete journey of materials-from incoming inspection to final accumulation-ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and availability for production.
• Team Leadership & Coaching - Manage and mentor our Receipt Inspection, Stores, and Accumulation teams, empowering them through structured coaching and continuous improvement methods.
• Process Optimization - Use GE's FLIGHTDECK system to monitor material flow, detect bottlenecks, and implement smart, sustainable improvements that enhance productivity.
• Visibility & Accountability - Maintain real-time tracking and transparent reporting of all material movements across departments and storage areas.
• Collaborative Communication - Act as a central point of contact across departments, resolving flow issues quickly and proactively.
• Continuous Improvement Culture - Drive a culture of excellence by encouraging problem-solving at the source, developing standard work, and embedding lean principles into daily operations.
• Inventory Integrity - Champion initiatives to improve inventory accuracy, ownership, and site-wide material availability.
• Safety & Compliance - Ensure that all team activities follow internal procedures and safety regulations to the letter.

What You Bring to the Role:

• Proven Supply Chain Experience - A background in logistics, warehousing, or material flow management, ideally within a manufacturing or repair setting.
• Leadership That Inspires - A hands-on leader who motivates, coaches, and grows high-performing teams.
• Continuous Improvement Mindset - Skilled in lean principles, root cause analysis, and driving measurable operational improvements.
• Detail-Focused, Outcome-Oriented - You know how to zoom in on the details without losing sight of what matters most.
• Tech-Savvy & Data-Driven - Comfortable using logistics systems, inventory software, and tools like Excel and Power BI to analyze and act.
• Excellent Communication Skills - Capable of building alignment across teams and clearly reporting on challenges, solutions, and progress.

Ready to Lead What's Next?

This is your opportunity to lead not just operations-but people, progress, and potential. If you're ready to shape the future of supply chain performance and build a culture of continuous improvement, we'd love to hear from you.
