  • Ensure material availability supports production schedules, launch milestones, customer commitments, and expedited delivery requirements while balancing inventory investment and service levels.
  • Drive escalation and recovery processes for supplier delays, material shortages, capacity constraints, backlog concerns, inventory discrepancies, and customer delivery risks.
  • Maintain and improve key supply chain performance metrics including supplier on-time delivery, schedule adherence, backlog management, inventory accuracy, inventory turns, and shipping performance.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Operations, Engineering, Quality, Sourcing, Finance, Logistics, and customer-facing teams to ensure production readiness, material flow optimization, and business continuity.
  • Support Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP), demand reviews, capacity planning, launch readiness activities, and site operating reviews while communicating supply chain risks and mitigation plans to leadership and stakeholders.

  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Operations, Logistics, Business, Engineering, or a related field.

  • Demonstrated leadership experience in a manufacturing and/or distribution supply chain environment.

  • Proven ability to lead teams and drive operational performance in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Master's degree in Supply Chain Management, Operations, Business Administration, or related discipline.

APICS/ASCM certification (CPIM, CSCP, or equivalent).

  • Experience supporting liquid cooling, thermal management, fluid conveyance, automotive, electronics, HVAC/R, industrial products, or high-mix manufacturing operations.

  • Experience with S&OP processes, shortage management, supplier escalations, new product introductions, and customer delivery recovery efforts.

Job Criteria:

  • Strong understanding of ERP/MRP planning logic, production scheduling, inventory control, purchasing execution, and material availability management.

  • Ability to analyze demand signals, inventory health, supplier performance, backlog conditions, capacity constraints, and delivery risk indicators to make effective business decisions.

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills with the ability to clearly communicate risks, priorities, and recovery plans across multiple organizational levels.

  • Proven ability to lead cross-functional problem-solving efforts involving Operations, Engineering, Quality, Finance, Logistics, and Sourcing teams.

  • Strong organizational, analytical, and decision-making skills with the ability to balance customer service, inventory investment, supplier constraints, and operational priorities.

  • Demonstrated success developing teams through coaching, cross-training, performance management, and continuous improvement initiatives.

  • Working knowledge of planning parameters, lead times, safety stock methodologies, warehouse operations, transportation processes, and business continuity planning.
