In this role, you will be the critical link between our physical production floor in Virginia and our remote Supply Chain Management team. You will be responsible for the daily execution of inventory accuracy, material readiness, and logistical coordination.

- Remote Team Liaison: Provide daily updates to remote management on material status, potential shortages (OOS), and receiving discrepancies.
- Inventory Integrity: Conduct weekly cycle counts and "Mass Balance" audits to ensure the system matches the physical shelf for all materials.
- Receiving & Quality Flow: Oversee the intake of ingredients, packaging materials, and other items. Coordinate with QC and production team to ensure "Identity Testing" is prioritized for urgent production needs.
- Spill & Loss Tracking: Document and report production floor "spills" during receiving and quarantine phases to the remote team to ensure accurate re-ordering and financial reporting.
