Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, supply chain, or another technical field.
• 5-10+ years of progressive supply chain or operations experience in manufacturing companies.
• Hands-on, execution-focused leader, a player-coach who stays close to the work.
• Strong commercial instincts: supplier management, negotiation, cost and lead-time analysis, and supply agreements.
• Comfortable with data, systems and AI tools; experience with ERP/MRP platforms (familiarity with Odoo, Snowflake or similar is a plus).
• Curiosity, ownership mindset, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.

Nice To Haves

• Master’s degree a plus.
• Experience in medical devices or other regulated manufacturing environments (e.g., ISO 13485) is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end supply chain strategy and execution across sourcing, planning, inventory, logistics, and supplier management, staying hands-on and close to the details.
• Lead, coach, and develop a lean, high-performing team, setting clear priorities and raising the bar on execution.
• Make AI and automation core to how the function operates, applying modern tools to improve forecasting, inventory positioning, procurement, traceability, and reporting, and building leverage into a small team rather than adding headcount.
• Own sourcing and supplier relationships for both ongoing production and new product introduction (NPI), partnering with Engineering and Quality to qualify suppliers and materials.
• Drive inventory accuracy, supply continuity, and ERP/MRP data integrity across Lexington Medical, third-party partners, value-added service providers, and sterilization facilities.
• Establish scalable processes, KPIs, and supplier agreements that improve cost, lead time, quality, and speed as the company grows.
• Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Operations to anticipate needs and remove bottlenecks.
• Resolve supply chain issues and escalations directly, driving corrective actions and preventing recurrence.
