Supply Chain Manager - Fortune 500 Metal Supplier for over 100 years

Why join us

Be the supply chain leader at a flagship U.S. manufacturing site — with direct accountability for planning, materials, inventory, and performance.

Own the strategy and execution across end-to-end supply chain operations including backlog, scheduling, material flow, and inventory optimization.

Enjoy executive visibility — this role reports directly to the Plant Manager and is highly visible to the CEO and corporate leadership.

Collaborate across North America with Supply Chain leaders at other plants to align on material flow, production schedules, and distribution.

Job Details

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.

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

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
