Upon successful completion and mutual agreement, the role converts to a full-time salaried position with standard benefits.

Requirements

• Equivalent combination of education and experience is acceptable. Relevant work experience outweighs formal education — candidates with extensive hands-on supply chain experience will be strongly considered even without a college degree.
• 7+ years of progressive experience in supply chain, logistics, procurement, inventory management, or related operations (increased from previous 5+ to account for experience-heavy focus).
• At least 3+ years in a supervisory or leadership role, preferably in manufacturing, distribution, retail, or industrial environments.
• Proven track record of managing teams, improving processes, and achieving measurable KPIs.
• 5+ years of progressive experience in supply chain, logistics, procurement, or inventory management.
• At least 2–3 years in a supervisory or leadership role, preferably in a manufacturing, distribution, retail, or industrial environment.
• Proven track record managing teams, improving processes, and achieving KPIs.

Nice To Haves

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

• Monitor and optimize key performance indicators (KPIs) such as inventory accuracy, on-time delivery, cycle counts, supplier performance, freight costs, and inventory turns.
• Collaborate with procurement, production, sales, finance, and quality teams to align supply chain processes with business goals and resolve bottlenecks.
• Implement continuous improvement initiatives to reduce costs, minimize waste, improve efficiency, and enhance customer/supplier satisfaction.
• Oversee vendor relationships, contract negotiations, and compliance with regulations (e.g., safety, customs, quality standards).
• Manage inventory levels to balance service and cost; conduct cycle counts and address discrepancies.
• Analyze data and generate reports on supply chain performance; identify trends and recommend process improvements.
