Supply Chain Coordinator

Circor Careers•Warren, MA

About The Position

The Supply Chain Coordinator supports material readiness and supply chain execution for program and manufacturing requirements. The role pulls supply chain data from the ERP, gathers supplier updates from Procurement, ensures program demand is visible to Planning and Supply Chain teams, and escalates shortages. The coordinator participates in weekly Supply Chain reviews and supports customer and IPT reviews as the Supply Chain focal, preparing presentation materials and providing Operations and Program Management with accurate material status, risks, and recovery plans. The position aligns supplier material commitments with program schedules, manufacturing milestones, and material need-by dates. It supports prioritization and reallocation of material, leads IPT shortage and readiness reviews for purchased material, communicates risks, escalates unresolved constraints, and coordinates recovery actions and procurement direction with the IPT. The coordinator translates production priorities into supply chain execution priorities and partners with Buyers to monitor supplier commitments, past-due orders, expedites, and recovery plans. The role also supports supplier communications and reviews of supplier performance, capacity, and long-lead material. It reviews MRP/ERP planning information, supports inventory accuracy and discrepancy resolution, monitors critical inbound material through receiving and inspection, and coordinates priority receipts, returns, transfers, and expedited shipments. Working with the IPT, the coordinator maintains a rolling six-month material-readiness outlook aligned with program schedules and production needs. The role proactively identifies long-lead material, supplier capacity constraints, shortages, and emerging supply chain risks to enable early intervention and risk mitigation.
