About The Position

The Sr Professional Supply Management role is a senior-level Supply Chain Operations position accountable for the continuous flow of purchased materials to support manufacturing and customer demand. The role independently manages an assigned supplier and material portfolio, translating production requirements, forecasts, inventory signals, and supplier commitments into executable supply plans. It anticipates delivery, capacity, quality, logistics, and change-related risks; leads shortage recovery and root-cause resolution; and improves supplier performance, material readiness, and inventory health. As a senior individual contributor, the position exercises independent judgment, influences cross-functional partners, and guides less-experienced team members. The position is based at Harley-Davidson Motor Company’s York Vehicle Operations facility, a final assembly plant that also performs manufacturing operations such as fabrication, welding, polishing, and painting, and produces current and replacement parts. The role is full time, requires 0–10% travel, and is not eligible for visa sponsorship or transfer. Domestic relocation assistance is available.
