Position Overview

We are currently seeking a Supply Chain Manager – Factory Feeding to join our San Antonio Manufacturing Plant team.

The Supply Chain Manager – Factory Feeding is responsible for leading factory material handling and material flow operations, ensuring the right material is delivered to the right location at the right time to support uninterrupted production. This position leads multiple supervisors and their hourly teams, with responsibility for lineside material availability, warehouse-to-line material flow, labor efficiency, inventory accuracy, safety, and continuous improvement.

This role works closely with Manufacturing, Materials Planning, Quality, Engineering, and other cross‑functional teams to identify and resolve material flow constraints, improve operational performance, and support production requirements. The manager will also play a key role in new product introductions, ensuring material handling processes, systems, equipment, and resources are ready to support successful production launches.

As International Motors continues to grow in San Antonio, we are expanding our production operations with the introduction of a night production shift. The night shift is Monday through Thursday from 5:30 PM to 4:00 AM, with production planned to begin in early 2027.

Shift Differential: 10% differential upon transitioning to Night Shift work schedule.

• These teams work across multiple shifts, ensuring materials are where they need to be, when they need to be there, on the line.
• Drive lean manufacturing initiatives to reduce waste, focus on JIT deliverables and an on‑going focus on reducing process waste.
• Manage introduction of new product to ensure systems are ready to receive and deliver to appropriate work stations.
• Partner with Manufacturing, Quality, corporate functions and work with cross‑functional teams
