Job description

LHH Recruitment Solutions has partnered with a growing organization, and they are seeking a motivated Supply Chain Manager – Replenishment & Customer Inventory Strategy to join their team. This is a high‑impact leadership role for someone who thrives in growth environments, enjoys building proactive inventory strategies, and wants to be part of a business where opportunity, visibility, and advancement are real. This role is ideal for a hands‑on, forward‑thinking supply chain leader who is energized by improving service levels, reducing shortages, and developing talent—while navigating the realities of rapid organizational growth.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Significant growth and career progression potential as the organization continues to expand.
• High visibility role with direct customer interaction and leadership impact.
• Opportunity to shape inventory strategy, improve service levels, and leave a lasting operational footprint.
• Collaborative environment that values initiative, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own and lead replenishment‑driven inventory management, ensuring inventory aligns with customer forecasts and demand signals.
• Partner directly with customers to understand forecasts, consumption patterns, and service expectations—shifting the organization from reactive to proactive inventory management.
• Address ongoing challenges such as long lead times, inventory shortages, and service disruptions, driving continuous improvement and better customer outcomes.
• Lead and mentor a small team of supply chain professionals.
• Develop and manage inventory strategies that ensure the right product is available at the right time, balancing service levels, cost, and working capital.
• Leverage advanced Excel skills to analyze inventory data, build reporting tools, support forecasting conversations, and drive decision‑making.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with internal teams to align inventory policies, processes, and execution.
• Support and participate in customer meetings, both virtual and onsite, as needed.
• Travel domestically approximately 10% to customer locations or internal meetings.

Qualifications and Skills:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Supply Chain, Business, Operations, or a related field.
• Proven experience in replenishment inventory management within a supply chain, distribution, or customer‑focused environment.
• Strong background working directly with customers to manage inventory against forecasts and demand.
• Demonstrated ability to lead and develop teams, particularly in environments undergoing change or transformation.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (data analysis, reporting, and inventory modeling).
• A self‑starter and go‑getter mindset—someone who wants to be best‑in‑class while remaining flexible as priorities evolve.
• Comfortable operating in a high‑growth, fast‑changing organization where processes are being built, refined, and improved.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence both internal stakeholders and external customers.

Compensation Range:

$85,000 - $110,000

Benefits Offered:

2 weeks of vacation, paid sick leave where applicable by state law, Medical Insurance, Dental Insurance Vision Insurance, 401K, and Life Insurance.
