About The Position
NPI Supply Chain Manager (Plymouth, MN): Drive the end-to-end supply chain strategy for New Product Introductions (NPI), ensuring successful product launches at the right cost, capacity, and capability. Your role: Lead the supply chain workstream for new product launches and product transfers, ensuring materials, capacity, and supply base readiness from development builds through commercialization. Serve as the primary supply chain point of contact at the Plymouth site, partnering cross-functionally with Marketing, Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP), Operations, Procurement Engineering, Quality, and Service teams. Develop and execute ramp-up and launch strategies that align demand, manufacturing capacity, and supplier capability to achieve cost of goods sold (COGS), service, and growth targets.

We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week.

We built our entire company around the belief that every human matters, and we won't stop until everybody everywhere has access to the quality healthcare that we all deserve. Do the work of your life to help improve the lives of others.
