Position Summary

The Senior Manager, Denver Operations & Supply Chain is fully accountable for the performance, reliability, and scalability of operations at the Denver site. This role leads customer service, planning, purchasing, supplier execution, inventory management, warehouse operations, logistics, and fulfillment in a life sciences environment. Denver supports a buy / relabel / resell business model with a small set of critical stocked products and a large, long‑tail of low‑velocity SKUs. Sustained success requires more than building and enforcing planning discipline, inventory controls, supplier accountability, and execution standards. The role is intended for a next‑level Senior Manager who can think strategically about what the site needs to succeed while also owning hands‑on execution. This leader is expected to build systems, processes, and operating cadence, and deliver measurable improvement in service, inventory health, supplier reliability, and execution consistency.

This role reports to the Senior Director, Global Supply Chain.

Core Accountabilities

• Total Site Operational Ownership & Strategic Execution Own end‑to‑end operational site performance, including OTD, backlog, inventory health, supplier reliability, and execution stability. Think strategically about what the site needs to succeed (processes, structure, capabilities, metrics) and translate that into executable action. Establish a disciplined operating cadence that connects daily execution to longer‑term improvement.
• Planning & Replenishment Execution Own planning execution at the site level, including replenishment accuracy, lead‑time adherence, backlog reduction, and stock availability. Build or strengthen planning processes and controls where gaps exist. Ensure demand signals are translated into reliable, executable supply and inventory plans.
• Inventory Discipline & Control Own inventory performance, including accuracy, turns, stockouts, and excess/obsolescence reduction. Build inventory controls, cycle‑count discipline, and accountability mechanisms where needed. Drive material improvements across both core SKUs and long‑tail items.
• Supplier Performance & Accountability Own supplier execution performance, including on‑time delivery, lead‑time reliability, and responsiveness. Build clear expectations, escalation paths, and corrective action processes with suppliers. Ensure purchasing decisions support execution reliability and inventory strategy.
• Warehouse, Shipping & Receiving Excellence Own warehouse and logistics execution with accountability for receiving timeliness, pick/pack accuracy, throughput, and compliance. Improve material flow, layout, labor utilization, and standard work to support growth and accuracy. Ensure relabeling, handling, and shipping meet quality and regulatory requirements.
• Metrics, Systems & Continuous Improvement Define, implement, and actively manage KPIs including OTD, supplier OTD, inventory accuracy, turns, stockouts, backlog, and lead‑time. Build visual management and reporting that drives accountability and action. Lead continuous improvement efforts to hard‑wire better processes and standards.
• People Leadership Build and lead high‑accountability teams across customer service, planning, purchasing, inventory, and warehouse operations. Develop leaders who can manage execution and problem‑solve, not just supervise tasks.

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Engineering, or related field required.
• 8+ years of experience in operations and/or supply chain leadership.
• 5+ years leading complex, execution‑heavy teams.
• Proven track record of building processes and stabilizing operations.
• Experience in buy/sell, distribution, or life‑sciences environments strongly preferred.
• Strong ERP, data, and operational problem‑solving skills.
• Lean / continuous improvement experience required.

Benefits

• Competitive insurance benefits starting on day one: medical, dental, vision, life, short‑term disability, long‑term disability, pet, and legal and ID shield.
• 401(k) plans with company match, employee stock purchase plan (ESPP), Health Savings Account (HSA), Flexible Spending Account (FSA), and Dependent Care FSA.
• Mentorship, promotional opportunities, training and development, tuition reimbursement, internship programs, and more.
• Employee resource groups, volunteer paid time off, employee events, and charity drives.
• Accrued leave policy with paid holidays, paid time off, and paid parental leave.
• Culture of empowerment, innovation, and belonging.
