• Plan & manage inventory: Coordinate production planning to ensure material availability; monitor inventory levels and develop replenishment strategies that support production while minimizing working capital; analyze demand trends to optimize inventory investment and turns.
• Own purchasing & procurement: Manage sourcing for direct and indirect materials; build supplier relationships around quality, cost, delivery, and service; negotiate pricing, terms, and supply agreements; drive cost reduction and manage supplier risk; support sourcing for new product launches and engineering changes.
• Oversee logistics & material handling: Manage inbound/outbound logistics, receiving, storage, and shipping; improve warehouse organization, material flow, and inventory accuracy; coordinate freight and transportation providers.
• Drive continuous improvement: Support Lean initiatives facility-wide; track KPIs including supplier on-time delivery, inventory accuracy and turns, material availability, freight cost, supplier quality, and on-time shipment performance.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Align priorities with Operations, Engineering, Customer Service, and Finance; support new product launches and capacity/sourcing planning; contribute to corporate supply chain initiatives.
• Maintain compliance: Ensure adherence to company policy, safety standards, and regulations; maintain accurate data and system integrity in ERP/MRP systems.

What You Bring

• Strong knowledge of purchasing, procurement, supplier management, inventory control, and logistics; working knowledge of production planning and manufacturing scheduling.
• Proven ability to lead and develop teams in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
• Strong negotiation, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Experience with ERP/MRP systems; knowledge of Lean Manufacturing and continuous improvement methodologies.
• Excellent communication skills and advanced Microsoft Excel proficiency.
• Ability to prioritize, adapt, and influence cross-functional teams without direct authority.

Education & Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Operations Management, Business Administration, Engineering, Logistics, or related field.
• 7+ years of progressive supply chain experience in a manufacturing environment, including purchasing, supplier management, logistics, and inventory management.
• Prior leadership experience with direct reports; experience supporting new product introductions and production ramp-ups.
• ERP/MRP experience (JD Edwards a plus); APICS certification (CPIM, CSCP, or equivalent) preferred.
• Experience in heavy equipment, industrial equipment, automotive, agricultural, or similar manufacturing industries preferred.
