Job Description

Title: Production Control Manager (Manufacturing | Inventory + Production Flow)
Location: Braselton, GA 30517 (On-site)
Type: Full-time | Benefits

Build the engine that keeps production moving.

If you’re the kind of leader who loves turning complexity into a clean, reliable process—and you take pride in getting the right material to the floor at the right time—this role is a chance to grow your manufacturing leadership while making a visible impact every day.

As our Production Control Manager for the sports production division , you’ll own the flow of materials and production orders that keep schedules on track, customers satisfied, and inventory accurate. You’ll lead a small team, partner cross-functionally (Manufacturing, Supply Chain, IT, DC, Accounting, Customer Support), and become a go-to operator for how work gets done.

What You’ll Own (and get better at fast)

Production & Materials Control

• Ensure timely movement of materials to manufacturing while maintaining strong inventory accuracy
• Process and manage order types including WO, WC (custom), and SI to maintain current ATP dates
• Print and manage production orders based on priority, ATP reports, and inventory availability
• Resolve backorder situations by adjusting request dates/shipment numbers and escalating where needed

Inventory Accuracy & Controls

• Maintain accurate inventory between JD Edwards and physical on-hand counts
• Reconcile discrepancies between physical and system quantities
• Maintain secure inventory practices and internal controls to protect against loss/theft
• Ensure in-process inventory accuracy, including scrap documentation and related procedures

Team Leadership

• Recruit, interview, hire, and train employees
• Direct day-to-day workflow in the raw material area and Golf Production Admin
• Provide coaching, timely feedback, performance evaluations, and accountability as needed

Custom Order Execution

• Print/process custom work orders and qualify orders based on specifications and BOM
• Make parts substitutions when required (tip cutting, stepping, frequency)
• Expedite custom orders when business priority demands it

Continuous Communication & Collaboration

• Build strong working relationships across internal teams to improve speed, accuracy, and service
• Attend and contribute to biweekly supply chain meetings
• Maintain quality expectations and support production schedule requirements
  

What Success Looks Like

• Materials hit the floor on time with minimal disruption
• Inventory is accurate, controlled, and audit-ready
• The production schedule is supported with clear prioritization and clean order flow
• Your team is organized, trained, and improving—because you lead with structure and urgency

What We’re Looking For

Experience & education

• 3–5 years of related experience (manufacturing / production control / materials / inventory)
• Minimum 3 years of managerial experience (or strong lead experience with clear ownership)
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent technical training + relevant experience

Skills that matter here

• Strong leadership, delegation, and prioritization in a fast-paced environment
• Analytical problem-solving with high attention to detail
• Excellent communication across operations and support functions
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and comfort working in JD Edwards (or similar ERP)

Work Environment & Physical Requirements

• On-site in a production environment (machinery noise; exposure to chemicals)
• Standing/walking at times; desk/computer work at times
• Lift up to 30 lbs occasionally
• Flexible schedule based on business needs; limited travel possible

Why this role is a great move

• High-visibility operations leadership : your work directly impacts output, quality, and customer satisfaction
• Skill expansion : deepen ERP/inventory controls, production prioritization, and cross-functional leadership
• Team ownership : lead, develop, and improve a critical function—not just “manage a list”
