Power Monitors, Inc.•Virginia, VA

About The Position

Power Monitors, Inc. (PMI) designs, develops, and manufactures industry-leading power quality tools used by electrical professionals worldwide. For nearly 40 years, we have built every product at our Mt. Crawford, VA facility in the heart of Virginia's beautiful Shenandoah Valley - and we are growing, with two major product launches underway and a manufacturing operation that is scaling to meet demand. That growth is why we are creating a new leadership role. We are not hiring a buyer to process purchase orders. We are hiring the owner of our supply chain - a member of our management team who will be accountable for materials, suppliers, inventory strategy, and procurement results across the company, reporting directly to our Vice President of Operations. If you have spent years executing someone else's purchasing system and believe you could design a better one, this is the opportunity to prove it. PMI Builds precision electronic Instruments in a component market defined by volatile lead times, allocation risk, and engineering-driven substitutions. Supply chain is not a back-office function here. It determines whether production runs and whether product launches ship on schedule. We have concluded this responsibility belongs at the management table with real authority, not delegated to a clerical role. You will have a direct hand in how PMI stocks, sources, and spends, and your decisions will be visible in company results. You will also work with modern tools. PMI runs its entire operation on NetSuite - Purchasing, MRP, inventory, and financials - and we use AI extensively across the company, from analytics and live dashboards to daily workflows. You will be expected to put both to work: querying live data, building dashboards that track supplier performance and inventory health in real time, automating routine purchasing tasks, and using AI to find the patterns in usage, lead times, and supplier performance that a spreadsheet alone would miss.

Requirements

5+ years in procurement, materials management, or supply chain within manufacturing-electronics manufacturing strongly preferred

The temperament of an owner: you investigate root causes, prevent problems before they occur, and finish what you start
