    Job Description

    This role owns the inventory planning and procurement decision-making that keeps the organization running smoothly. The focus is ensuring the right materials are available at the right time — without tying up capital in excess stock. The ideal candidate is analytical, proactive, and comfortable translating operational realities into clear, data-backed inventory strategies.

    This is not a logistics-heavy or sourcing-heavy role. The core work centers on usage analysis, lead-time management, and building the logic that drives smart replenishment.

    Inventory Strategy & Ownership

    • Owns the full inventory strategy: what to stock, how much, and when to reorder

    • Builds and maintains reorder point logic using historical usage, variability, and real-world lead times

    • Sets and adjusts safety stock and replenishment parameters to balance service levels and working capital

    • Identifies inventory risk (stockouts vs. overstock) and takes corrective action quickly

    Cross-Functional Partnership

    • Partners with internal teams to translate operational needs into actionable stocking plans

    • Communicates inventory decisions clearly and proactively to stakeholders

    Qualifications


    What You Bring

    • 5 years in supply chain, procurement, or materials management

    • Manufacturing or industrial environment experience (required)

    • Strong ERP experience (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, or similar)

    • Proven vendor negotiation and cost-control experience

    • Experience managing 500 SKUs

    • Detail-oriented, decisive, and operationally grounded

    Additional Information


    Additional Exposure

    • Light logistics exposure (e.g., inbound carriers) is helpful but not core to the role

    • People leadership is a plus but — this can sit at a lead level without direct reports
