ABOUT YOU
You are a strategic, proactive supply chain leader who knows that great supply chain management is about more than placing purchase orders. You build strong vendor relationships, anticipate risk, negotiate effectively, use data to make decisions, and create the structure needed to keep production moving. You bring a strong sense of urgency, take ownership, and are comfortable working in a lean, fast-moving environment where you can make a visible impact. You are equally comfortable analyzing ERP data, meeting with suppliers, collaborating across internal departments, mentoring a small team, and stepping onto the warehouse floor when needed.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Reporting to the Director of Operations, you will take ownership of purchasing, supplier relationships, inventory, logistics, and supply chain planning. You will lead a small team while partnering closely with Production, Engineering, Sales, Customer Service, and Finance. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys solving problems before they become emergencies, using data to make better decisions, negotiating with suppliers, and building processes that make a growing operation more predictable and resilient.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Lead and develop a team across purchasing, inventory, and shipping/receiving.
- Own supplier relationships, sourcing, qualification, performance, and negotiations.
- Manage contract manufacturers and suppliers across PCB assembly, box-build, injection molding, machine shops, and electronics components.
- Develop supply, inventory, demand, and material plans that support production and customer commitments.
- Identify and mitigate supply chain risks, including shortages, long-lead and single-source components, supplier capacity, end-of-life parts, tariffs, and market disruptions.
- Partner cross-functionally to proactively resolve material, production, and logistics issues before they impact customers.
- Track supplier KPIs including on-time delivery, quality, cost, lead-time reliability, and responsiveness, driving corrective action where needed.
- Use Odoo ERP and Excel to analyze supply chain data, improve visibility, and support decision-making.
- Oversee inventory planning and control, including replenishment, cycle counts, accuracy, inventory turns, and obsolete stock.
- Oversee domestic, international, and cross-border logistics, including freight, customs, import/export, and carrier relationships.
- Improve SOPs, reporting, processes, and tools that strengthen visibility, accountability, and scalability.
- Support warehouse operations when needed.
WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE
- 7+ years of progressive experience in supply chain, procurement, purchasing, materials, inventory, or logistics management, ideally in manufacturing or a technical environment.
- Strong vendor management and negotiation experience is essential.
- Experience with sourcing, supplier qualification, RFQs purchasing, inventory, and supplier performance.
- Strong knowledge of material planning, forecasting, inventory management, and supply chain risk.
- ERP proficiency and a data-driven approach; Odoo experience is strongly preferred.
- Experience with domestic/international freight, customs, import/export, HS codes, tariffs, and Canada-US shipping.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and relationship-building skills.
- Experience leading, mentoring, or developing a team.
- A hands-on, proactive, collaborative approach with urgency and ownership to solve problems before they affect production or customers.
NICE TO HAVE
- Experience in electronics, electromechanical products, industrial hardware, or technical manufacturing.
- Experience with PCB assembly, box-build manufacturing, injection molding, machine shops, contract manufacturers, or electronics distributors.
- Supply Chain Management, Engineering, or related education, or equivalent experience.
- APICS or related professional designation.
- Experience navigating major supply disruptions while improving cost and inventory performance.
WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE:
- No production line-down events caused by supply chain or material availability issues.
- Reliable, on-time material availability supporting production and customer commitments.
- Stronger supplier performance across delivery, quality, cost, and lead times.
- Meaningful contribution to Aarcomm's operational cost-reduction goals.
- Progress toward reducing standard customer lead times.
- Improved inventory turns, accuracy, control, and reduced obsolete stock.
- Proactive supplier engagement and supply chain risk mitigation.
- Accurate ERP data and reporting that enable better decisions.
- A capable, accountable, and well-developed supply chain team.
