- Strengthen demand planning, material planning, MRP, and inventory-management processes
- Reduce shortages, excess inventory, obsolescence, and unnecessary working-capital investment

- Translate complex or imperfect data into clear conclusions and actionable recommendations
- Lead and develop the Supply Chain and Purchasing team

What We're Looking For
- Five to seven years of progressive supply chain, procurement, purchasing, sourcing, or material-planning experience
- Manufacturing experience required
- Leadership or management experience preferred
- Experience sourcing chemicals, packaging components, or technically specified materials strongly preferred
- Strong inventory-management, supplier-negotiation, and financial-analysis skills
- Advanced Excel and data-analysis capabilities
- Demonstrated ability to pull, clean, manipulate, and interpret data and use it to draw sound business conclusions
- ERP experience required; Microsoft Dynamics 365 experience preferred
- Power BI, Power Query, SQL, or similar analytics experience is a plus
- Experience in chemical, aerosol, packaging, consumer products, industrial products, or contract manufacturing is preferred
The right candidate will be curious, commercially minded, comfortable working with imperfect information, and capable of connecting data, supplier performance, inventory, operations, and customer requirements into sound business decisions.
