About the job

The Role
We’re hiring a Senior Supply Chain Specialist who owns the full purchasing cycle — demand signal to PO to receipt, not just order placement. This isn’t a “run the existing process” role; it’s a “build the process” role, in a lean team where you’ll be able to craft outcomes. This role sits at the center of procurement, inventory, and vendor management.

• Tactical buyer — PO issuance, expediting, receipt tracking
• Demand planner — S&OP cadence, forecast-to-procurement translation
• Category/sourcing manager — single-source risk audits, dual-sourcing strategy, vendor negotiation

What You’ll Own

• Full purchasing cycle — demand signal, PO issuance, tracking, receipt
• PO discipline: approval workflows, dollar thresholds, vendor communication standards
• Multi-vendor, multi-component procurement for assembled capital equipment, including long-lead electro-mechanical parts (motors, drives, gearboxes, controls)
• Single-source risk audits, with dual-sourcing and alternative supplier development
• Translation of sales forecasts into procurement targets through S&OP cadence
• Vendor delivery performance, tracked through ERP data (open POs, promise vs. receipt dates, aging POs)
• Direct vendor accountability — escalation, renegotiation, performance conversations

What Good Looks Like

• You can build process from scratch, not just execute someone else’s
• You catch single-source exposure before it becomes a shortage
• You know the difference between a critical-path part and a buffer-stock part
• You manage vendors by data
• You don’t miss the seasonal demand window
• You hold suppliers accountable directly, without a manager running interference

Requirements

• Experience owning end-to-end procurement in a manufacturing environment
• Experience with multi-component, capital-equipment sourcing (electro-mechanical a plus)
• Demonstrated single-source risk management / dual-sourcing initiative
• Comfort with demand-driven, seasonal planning and SNOP cadence
• Proficiency in Acumatica or a comparable ERP
• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Operations, Business, or related field preferred

Bonus if you have:

• Experience in a sub-$200M manufacturing company
• Background in seasonal or variable-demand industries
• Direct vendor negotiation/escalation experience
• Strong Excel or data-tool proficiency

Why This Role

• Real ownership of a function that’s being built, not maintained
• Direct exposure to production, finance, and executive leadership
• High visibility in a company mid-scale-up
• Room to shape policy and best practices, not just follow them

Environment

• Mix of procurement work, vendor calls, and production-floor coordination
• Fast-paced, deadline-driven
• Hybrid schedule with some work-from-home flexibility
