Supply Chain Manager Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• 5+ years of supply chain, inventory, purchasing, or materials management experience, preferably in a manufacturing or hardware-assembly environment.
• Hands-on experience managing inventory and build assemblies in QuickBooks Enterprise (this is essential, not "nice to have").
• Demonstrated experience managing a high volume of small parts and components.
• Proven track record establishing par levels, running cycle counts, and maintaining high inventory accuracy.
• Direct experience working with and negotiating with vendors, and managing purchase orders and lead times.
• Strong Excel skills and comfort working with data to forecast and report.
• Able to work fully on-site in Buford, GA every business day.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in supply chain within a small public company, with first-hand familiarity implementing and enforcing internal controls (e.g., SOX-style controls, segregation of duties, audit support).
• Experience with electronic components, contract manufacturing, or low-to-mid-volume hardware assembly.
• Familiarity with shipping/logistics platforms and carrier management.
• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Business, or a related field or commensurate experience

Responsibilities

• Own inventory accuracy for hundreds of SKUs, with particular focus on small electronic parts and components used in device assembly.
• Establish, monitor, and adjust par/reorder quantities and safety-stock levels based on demand, lead times, and historical usage.
• Design and run a recurring cycle-count program; investigate and resolve variances and report on inventory accuracy metrics.
• Manage build assemblies (BOMs) in QuickBooks Enterprise — creating, updating, and reconciling assembly builds so that component consumption and finished-goods counts stay accurate.
• Identify QuickBooks Enterprise plugins, add-ons, or third-party packages that can be integrated to automate manual inventory, purchasing, receiving, and fulfillment procedures.
• Identify and implement AI tools to manage inventory more effectively — leveraging them to improve demand forecasting, reorder-point optimization, cycle-count prioritization, and overall inventory accuracy.
• Source, negotiate with, and manage relationships with component and contract vendors.
• Place and track purchase orders, monitor supplier performance, and proactively manage lead times and shortages.
• Forecast and predict order timelines, communicating realistic availability dates to sales, production, and leadership.
• Identify and qualify alternate or second-source suppliers to reduce single-source risk.
• Oversee outbound shipping and fulfillment to dealers, distributors, and end users, ensuring accuracy and on-time delivery.
• Coordinate carriers, shipping methods, and costs; resolve shipping exceptions.
• Align fulfillment capacity with order volume and production schedules.
• Implement, document, and enforce internal controls over inventory, purchasing, receiving, and shipping.
• Maintain proper segregation of duties and approval thresholds across the procure-to-pay and inventory cycles.
• Support internal and external audit requests with accurate records, reconciliations, and documentation.
• Maintain written procedures and ensure consistent adherence across the operations team.
• Partner with leadership to forecast demand and align purchasing and inventory investment with production plans.
• Track and report key metrics: inventory accuracy, turns, fill rate, on-time delivery, lead times, and excess/obsolete inventory.
• Recommend and drive process improvements that reduce cost, waste, and stockouts.

Benefits

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience.
• Bonus opportunity at management discretion based on company financial performance and individual contribution.
• Potential for stock option grant(s) from parent company, Acorn Energy (ACFN).
• Health/dental/vision, 401(k), PTO, and other benefits.
• The opportunity to own the supply chain function at an established, growing industry leader.
