• Experience with WMS/MES systems (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle) or building ops platforms at a high-growth startup.
• AI/ML experience in forecasting, anomaly detection, or decision support; fluency with Claude or other AI coding assistants.

Responsibilities

• Build and own a supply chain control tower, including multi-tier supplier visibility, clear-to-build detection, and real-time dashboards for production readiness and blocked orders.
