Supply Chain Operations Manager

Supply Chain Operations ManagerAt OleumTech, we design and build the wireless instrumentation that keeps the world's most critical industrial operations running — from remote oilfields to water treatment facilities. As a pioneer of the wireless digital oilfield with in-house R&D and manufacturing right here in Foothill Ranch, California, our supply chain isn't a back-office function — it's the backbone of our promise to customers. We're looking for a Supply Chain Operations Manager who will own that promise end to end: sourcing, planning, and delivering with the precision our ISO 9001 certification demands and our customers expect.What You'll AccomplishWithin 90 days, map our full supply chain — suppliers, lead times, inventory positions, and risk points — and deliver a prioritized improvement roadmap to leadership.Build a demand planning and S&OP process that aligns sales forecasts with production schedules, improving forecast accuracy and reducing expedite costs within the first year.Reduce component lead-time risk by qualifying secondary sources for critical electronic and mechanical components, targeting dual-source coverage on our top-risk parts.Optimize inventory levels to improve turns while maintaining on-time delivery above 95% — balancing cash efficiency against the availability our customers rely on.Negotiate supplier agreements that deliver measurable cost savings on annual direct material spend without compromising quality or continuity.Strengthen supplier quality performance in partnership with our Quality team, driving corrective actions and scorecard reviews that support our ISO 9001 system.Lead and develop the planning, purchasing, and logistics team, establishing clear KPIs and a cadence of continuous improvement.Environment & ResourcesYou'll report to executive leadership and work steps away from our engineering, production, and quality teams — all under one roof in Foothill Ranch. You'll manage a small, capable team spanning purchasing, planning, and logistics, with direct access to R&D and manufacturing leadership. At a company of our size, your decisions move fast and your impact is visible immediately.What You Bring5+ years leading supply chain, procurement, or operations in electronics or industrial hardware manufacturing.Proven results reducing costs and lead times while sustaining high on-time delivery in a low-to-mid-volume, high-mix environment.Hands-on experience with electronic component sourcing, including navigating allocation and obsolescence challenges.Working knowledge of ERP/MRP systems and demand planning; you build the process, not just run it.Familiarity with ISO 9001 quality systems and supplier quality management.A builder's mindset — comfortable being strategic and hands-on in equal measure.Why OleumTechMade in the USA, end to end: Own a supply chain where design, sourcing, and manufacturing happen under one roof — rare in our industry.Real ownership: This is a build-and-lead role, not a maintain-the-machine role.
