Manager, Supply Chain

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Own production planning and material planning for the Quonset site, serving as the central point of accountability for master scheduling and demand/supply planning.
• Drive the day-to-day tactical planning rhythm, ensuring production has clear visibility into what is coming, what is needed, and when.
• Maintain accuracy across digital systems (Oracle on the supply side, Forge/Foundry on the production side), including rev rec verification and ensuring system data reflects reality on the floor.
• Partner directly with the Head of Production on daily battle rhythm, report-outs, and operational cadence to keep the site running smoothly.
• Identify planning gaps and build toward a scalable planning function over time, including informing future hiring needs such as a dedicated master scheduler.
• Provide oversight and monitoring of PO status across the procurement team, catching items that fall through the cracks and directing the team to triage effectively.
• Own visibility into supplier delivery performance, including on-time shipment tracking, inventory health, and escalation of shortages to Production Support Engineers (PSEs).
• Handle boots-on-the-ground procurement needs as they arise, including facilities-related purchases, COTS items, and miscellaneous material requirements that pop up outside standard production procurement flows.

Job requirements

• 5+ years of experience in supply chain with a strong emphasis on production planning, material planning, or master scheduling within a manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated ability to manage demand and supply planning processes and keep production teams informed and unblocked.
• Hands-on experience with ERP/MRP systems; familiarity with Oracle is a plus.
• Working knowledge of procurement processes, supplier management, and inventory management.
• Comfort operating as both a lead-level individual contributor and a people leader, with the ability to mentor and oversee small teams.
• Strong cross-functional communication skills with the ability to partner effectively with production, engineering, and finance stakeholders.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, unstructured environment where priorities shift quickly. Startup or high-growth experience preferred.
• Positive attitude, bias for action, and a no-task-too-small mentality.
