Job description

Bring your Strategic Sourcing to FutureTech Labs and aim it at problems that move revenue, not just problems that move pixels on a dashboard. For the quick-to-ship Inventory Specialist with 5 years, FutureTech Labs answers with $69,000 - $106,000, a freelance setup, and a ladder built for climbing.

Key Responsibilities

• Argue the hands-on option even when the room already loves the safe one
• Own the relationship with the Blue Yonder vendor so it stops being a fire drill
• Carry the design-led idea through the gauntlet of finance, legal, and ops
• Catch the innovative risk in a contract before legal even opens it
• Spot the bottleneck nobody mentions in the standup and unclog it
• Turn messy S&OP data into an one-page story executives read before coffee
• Build relationships with key accounts to drive long-term value
• Spot when a senior initiative has quietly lost its sponsor

What You'll Bring

• Comfort with the freelance cadence of a Baton Rouge-based operation
• Senior mastery of Supplier Relationship Management, validated by people who'd hire you again
• A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
• The reliability that lets a manager stop checking in
• Roughly 5+ years operating in a similar Inventory Specialist position
• Working familiarity with freelance schedules and team norms at FutureTech Labs
• Working understanding of both Facilitation and Order Fulfillment in real-world settings

FutureTech Labs has made Baton Rouge, LA synonymous with slow-to-anger, dependable business work that outlasts the hype cycles. Disagreement is welcome here, but once we decide, the whole FutureTech Labs team rows in the same direction.

In return for your S&OP expertise, you'll earn $69,000 - $106,000 along with 401(k) matching and flexible remote options.
