What You Will Do

Inventory Strategy & Working Capital

• Drive inventory turns improvement (target: 3.2 → 4+) by reviewing order quantities and ensuring consumption horizons stay within 6 months.


• Manage component-level inventory reduction initiatives; direct contract manufacturers (CMs) to consume available Opengear-owned excess material before purchasing new components.


• Oversee consignment inventory strategy across the Sandy facility and CM locations, including excess material management.


• Lead freight cost reduction strategy, shifting PO planning toward ocean freight (DHL, FedEx, Mainfreight, Quality SVC, Expeditors) wherever operationally feasible.


• Develop and execute tariff avoidance strategy leveraging USMCA and alternative sourcing to minimize tariff expense.


• Drive strategic sourcing and PPV (purchase price variance) savings initiatives across key commodities (e.g., memory, semiconductor components) through supplier negotiations and buydown programs.


• Identify and execute project-level cost savings opportunities, including manufacturing footprint and box-build sourcing strategies with external partners.

Customer Delivery & NPI Collaboration

• Own on-time delivery (OTD) performance through disciplined PO management using SourceDay or equivalent supplier collaboration platforms.


• Align contract manufacturer delivery commitments with customer requirements; proactively resolve delivery date conflicts.


• Partner with Engineering on New Product Introduction (NPI) readiness, ensuring component and supply chain survey results translate into on-time supply chain execution.


• Monitor and report supply chain performance metrics to leadership, highlighting risks and improvement opportunities.


• Lead material requirements planning (MRP) to ensure materials are available to support the master production schedule; proactively identify and resolve supply risks before they impact production.


• Manage supplier and subcontractor relationships domestically and internationally; negotiate pricing, lead times, and delivery commitments.


• Support export compliance activities including trade agreements, customs documentation, and import/export coordination.


• Maintain data integrity within ERP systems (Epicor or equivalent) for planning, inventory, and purchasing.

Data Analysis & Reporting

• Extract and manipulate data from the ERP system using Business Activity Queries (BAQs) to support inventory, purchasing, and supply chain reporting.


• Use Excel (including Power Query) to build, automate, and maintain recurring supply chain reports and dashboards.


• Translate raw ERP data into actionable insights for inventory turns, freight costs, PPV, and OTD performance tracking.


• Continuously improve reporting efficiency by automating manual data pulls and building repeatable Excel/Power Query workflows

Who You Are and What You Bring

• Demonstrated experience reducing inventory and driving working capital improvement in a manufacturing environment.


• Demonstrated experience with freight cost optimization, ocean vs. air/ground freight strategy, and carrier management.
