Gdańsk, Poland Full‑time | Employment Contract

At Lyten, we are building the future of energy through breakthrough battery technologies and advanced manufacturing. As we continue to scale our operations, we are looking for a Material Controlling Specialist who will play a key role in ensuring material accuracy, inventory integrity, and production order compliance across our manufacturing operations. This position is ideal for a hands‑on professional who enjoys solving operational challenges, improving processes, and serving as the link between physical material flow and system data accuracy.

Your responsibilities

Owning the accuracy of production order data throughout its entire lifecycle, from opening to closing.
Reconciling material consumption between the ERP system and the production floor, investigating and resolving discrepancies.
Ensuring full traceability of raw materials, work‑in‑progress (WIP), and finished goods throughout the production process.
Verifying the accuracy of finished goods reporting at the end of each shift.
Monitoring material shortages and excess stocks, coordinating corrective actions with Production, Planning, and Warehouse teams.
Driving compliance with material movement processes and enforcing the 'scan & move' discipline across production areas.
Performing regular physical‑to‑system inventory checks and initiating corrective actions when deviations occur.
Verifying scrap transactions and ensuring material scrapping processes are properly executed and recorded.
Supporting and documenting material movements related to rework activities.
Conducting material loss analyses and identifying root causes of consumption variances.
Supporting the accuracy of production and material‑related KPI reporting.
Acting as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for material control and ERP‑related material transactions on the shopfloor.
Supporting periodic and annual physical inventory counts.
Designing and implementing controls, safeguards, and process improvements that increase first‑time data accuracy and reduce manual reconciliation efforts.
Performing other duties assigned by management to support the company’s growth and operational needs.

What we’re looking for

Minimum 5 years of experience in production, logistics, inventory management, or material control within a manufacturing environment.
Hands‑on experience managing material transactions in ERP systems.
Secondary technical or vocational education required; a degree in Logistics, Supply Chain, Industrial Engineering, or a related field will be considered an advantage.
Proven experience maintaining inventory accuracy and resolving material discrepancies through root cause analysis.
Experience working in fast‑paced manufacturing environments; experience in start‑up or scale‑up operations will be highly valued.
Strong analytical skills and a data‑driven mindset.
Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively across functions.
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
Fluency in Polish; English will be an advantage for international collaboration.

Preferred qualifications

Experience in battery, electronics, automotive, or other highly regulated manufacturing environments.
Strong working knowledge of ERP and WMS systems such as Microsoft Dynamics 365, SAP, NetSuite, or equivalent.
Experience with inventory control, cycle counting, and stock reconciliation processes.
Knowledge of continuous improvement methodologies and tools such as PDCA, 5S, Visual Management, Standard Work, and Poka‑Yoke.
Exposure to World Class Manufacturing (WCM) or comparable operational excellence programs.
Experience training and supporting operators and supervisors in material control processes and ERP transactions.
Understanding of component criticality, handling requirements, and traceability in electronics or battery manufacturing environments.

What makes you successful in this role

You are highly organized, detail‑oriented, and results‑driven.
You take ownership and accountability for your work.
You are comfortable challenging non‑compliant processes, even under operational pressure.
You enjoy investigating discrepancies and identifying root causes rather than simply addressing symptoms.
What we offer
- Opportunity to join a rapidly growing, innovative technology company.
- Real impact on the development of manufacturing and material control processes.
- International and collaborative work environment.
- Training and professional development opportunities.
- Career growth within a scaling organization.
- MyBenefit cafeteria platform with the option to convert points into a MultiSport card.
