Job Description

Opportunity: Inventory & Procurement Leader

Are you a strategic thinker who thrives at the intersection of inventory precision, supplier strategy, and operational growth ? This is an opportunity to step into a high-impact role where your decisions directly influence efficiency, scalability, and the ability to meet evolving customer demand.

We're seeking a leader who can bring structure to complexity-someone who ensures the right materials are in the right place at the right time, without tying up unnecessary capital. This role is critical in building a high-performing, scalable warehouse operation while driving forecasting accuracy and demand alignment across the business.

What You'll Own

• Inventory Accuracy & Control:
  Champion best-in-class inventory management practices, ensuring alignment between physical stock and system data through audits, cycle counts, and process improvements.
• Warehouse Growth & Optimization:
  Support and scale warehouse operations to meet increasing demand, implementing systems and workflows that improve throughput, space utilization, and operational efficiency.
• Demand Planning & Forecasting:
  Partner cross-functionally to anticipate demand trends, align purchasing strategies, and prevent stockouts or excess inventory.
• Procurement Strategy:
  Develop and execute sourcing strategies that balance cost, quality, and reliability while supporting long-term business growth.
• Supplier Relationship Management:
  Build and maintain strong vendor partnerships to ensure consistent supply, competitive pricing, and flexibility in a dynamic environment.
• Contract Negotiation:
  Lead negotiations to secure favorable terms, mitigate risk, and drive measurable cost savings.
• ERP & Systems Utilization:
  Leverage ERP platforms to enhance visibility, reporting, and decision-making across inventory and procurement functions.

What You Bring

Core Experience

• Proven success in inventory control and accuracy improvement
• Strong background in procurement and sourcing strategies
• Demonstrated ability to manage and grow supplier relationships
• Experience negotiating contracts with measurable business impact
• Advanced proficiency with ERP systems for inventory and purchasing

Preferred Background

• Exposure to demand planning, forecasting, and budgeting
• Experience supporting warehouse expansion or operational scaling initiatives
• Degree in Supply Chain, Operations, or a related field

Why This Role Stands Out

• Direct impact on operational scalability and business growth
• Opportunity to build and refine processes that improve accuracy, efficiency, and cost control
• A highly visible role collaborating across operations, finance, and leadership
• The ability to shape how the organization plans, purchases, and performs

Success in This Role Looks Like

• Near-perfect inventory accuracy across systems and physical stock
• A proactive demand planning model that minimizes shortages and overstock
• Strong, reliable supplier partnerships with optimized pricing and terms
• Scalable warehouse processes that support continued growth and increased demand
