Key Responsibilities:

Reporting to the VP of Planning and Inventory, you will lead the inventory team and warehouse operations for our manufacturing site ramp-up. You will own the full material lifecycle, including receiving, putaway, production order picking, and logistics; ensuring that as production volumes increase, our processes remain robust and the team stays aligned. This role requires a leader who understands the financial impact of inventory transactions, ensuring transactional integrity and ERP data accuracy to meet both financial compliance and service level targets.

Team Building & Process Leadership

• Team Development: Recruit, onboard, and stabilize a high-performing inventory team. You will be responsible for continuous training and mentoring to ensure the team is skilled in both physical handling and ERP system accuracy.
• Process-Driven Management: Establish and refine standard operating procedures (SOPs) to ensure consistent, repeatable results as volume scales.
• Performance Control: Set clear performance goals and conduct regular evaluations. You will provide the leadership necessary to foster a culture of accountability, safety, and transactional discipline.

Warehouse Operations & Problem Solving

• Operational Monitoring: Provide daily oversight of warehouse functions (Receiving, Shipping, Picking). You will actively monitor and control workflows to identify bottlenecks before they impact the production line.
• Active Problem Solving: Serve as the primary point of escalation for inventory discrepancies, logistics delays, or system errors, using data-driven insights to resolve root causes.
• Facility Optimization: Utilize 5S methodologies to optimize warehouse layout for maximum picking and putaway efficiency.

MRP & Data Integrity

• Supply/Demand Synchronization: Monitor MRP signals to ensure supply is synchronized with the master production schedule, proactively resolving gaps for internal production customers.

Inventory Integrity & Financial Compliance

• Audits & Cycle Counts: Lead a rigorous cycle count program and coordinate full inventory audits to reconcile physical stock with records, ensuring 100% integrity for financial reporting.
• Financial Impact: Ensure all physical movements are mirrored in the ERP in real-time. Maintain a deep understanding of how inventory transactions impact the General Ledger (COGS, WIP, and Valuation).
