Position Overview:


As the Production and Supply Chain Manager at Teton Outfitters, you will lead the demand and supply planning, global sourcing, production, compliance, and quality functions that support hard- and soft-line products manufactured across international markets. You will establish a structured sales and operations planning (S&OP) process, strengthen supplier performance, and use data to align inventory and production with business demand. You will lead a small team that includes on-site, remote, and international employees and contractors, and partner with Product, Development, Finance, Logistics, Distribution, and Sales. This role offers a compelling opportunity to build effective supply chain processes, improve product availability, and shape the structure and capabilities of a developing team.


Key Responsibilities:


+ Develop and lead the S&OP process, aligning demand forecasts, supply plans, production capacity, inventory strategies, and business priorities.

+ Create and execute global sourcing and production strategies that improve supplier performance, product availability, cost competitiveness, lead times, and production capacity.

+ Lead and develop a team of on-site, remote, and international employees and contractors across supply planning, sourcing, production, quality, and compliance.

+ Analyze supply, demand, inventory, spend, pricing, and operational data using NetSuite, business intelligence tools, and performance dashboards to guide decisions and establish appropriate safety stock levels to deliver service improvements.

+ Establish supplier performance metrics and scorecards, hold vendors accountable for service and quality expectations, and address delivery, capacity, and production risks.

+ Negotiate supplier pricing, lead times, delivery terms, contracts, and service expectations while maintaining product quality and supply continuity.

+ Oversee the development, implementation, and maintenance of quality management processes, documentation, training, reporting, and vendor social compliance programs.

+ Evaluate product specifications, material tolerances, quality data, and customer feedback to identify trends, resolve issues, and improve finished-product quality.

+ Partner cross-functionally with Product, Finance, Logistics, Distribution, and Sales to improve planning, product development, process flows, and operational performance.

+ Lead continuous improvement initiatives using Lean methods, root cause analysis, Kaizen events, process documentation, and key performance indicators.

+ Actively participate and prepare the organization for an SAP ERP transition in a few years.


Desired Competencies:


+ Leadership: You inspire, guide, and empower others to achieve their best by setting clear direction, fostering trust, and creating an environment where people feel supported, motivated, and accountable for delivering results.

+ Data & Analytical Literacy: You interpret data, metrics, or reporting to inform decisions, identify trends, and measure outcomes relevant to your role.

+ Planning & Organization: You manage time, resources, and priorities effectively to meet deadlines and deliver consistent results.

+ Decision Making: You are able to make informed and calculated decisions using qualitative and quantitative insights, but at times operating with some ambiguity


Qualifications:


+ Bachelor’s degree required.

+ Minimum of 10 years of supply chain experience in the apparel or consumer products industry, including exposure to overseas contract manufacturing.

+ Minimum of 5 years of experience building, leading, and developing teams.

+ Demonstrated experience leading the SIOP process to balance demand forecasts, inventory investments, and supply capabilities to support service, revenue, and profitability targets.

+ Experience managing global sourcing, overseas production, supplier relationships, and contract manufacturing operations.

+ Strong understanding of quality assurance and quality control principles and their application within a supplier or manufacturing environment.

+ Experience analyzing supply chain and inventory data using enterprise systems and business intelligence tools; NetSuite and/or SAP experience is beneficial.

+ Demonstrated ability to negotiate supplier costs, lead times, terms, contracts, and performance expectations.

+ Ability to travel occasionally, including internationally.
