Job Details

***WE ARE OPEN FOR CANDIDATES OPEN TO RELOCATION***

Are you a high-level supply chain leader who thrives at the intersection of planning and operations? Ready to own material flow, scheduling, and fulfillment across a complex, multi-site manufacturing environment — all with executive visibility?
We’re partnering with a global manufacturer that’s making big moves in the metals space — think steel, aluminum, and copper — and they need a Supply Chain Manager who operates more like a Superintendent: someone hands-on, forward-thinking, and ready to lead from the front.

What You’ll Own:
Lead all supply chain activities at a flagship U.S. manufacturing site — with full responsibility for planning, scheduling, inventory, and materials flow

Collaborate directly with other plants and corporate leadership across North America (RPNA) to ensure alignment, consistency, and results

Build, coach, and scale a team: 8 direct and ~16 indirect reports across planning and materials

Translate corporate SOPs and lean initiatives into on-the-ground execution

Monitor and improve KPIs tied to customer fulfillment, inventory turns, budget adherence, and process performance

Troubleshoot shortages, streamline material flow, and work cross-functionally to drive problem-solving at every level

What Sets This Role Apart:

Executive Visibility: This is a role the C-suite is watching, not just a back-office planning position.

Big Scope + Deep Impact: You’ll shape operations across multiple sites while directly influencing plant-level performance.

Metals Focus: If you\'ve worked with steel, aluminum, or copper, this is your edge.

Real Team Leadership: This isn’t a policy-writing desk job. You’ll be embedded with your teams, guiding, improving, and mentoring.

Tools That Matter: SAP is in place, or experience with other ERPs is a must.

What We’re Looking For:

5+ years of experience in supply chain management with multi-site experience preferred.

5+ years of experience in metals or industrial manufacturing — aluminum, steel, copper, etc.

B.S. degree in Business Administration, Supply Chain Management, Logistics, or another related.

Strong understanding of material flow, planning, inventory, and scheduling

Operations mindset — you know how to drive KPIs from the plant floor, not just from a spreadsheet

SAP or similar ERP experience

A proven leader who can align, develop, and execute within a high-performance team
