About the job

ABOUT THE JOB

This is not a warehouse manager job with a bigger title. AtKorpack, the Materials Manager is one of the two seats that run a building - the Production Manager owns making the product; you own everything the materials do w h e n t h e y ' r e n o t b e i n g c o n v e r t e d. Every receipt, every put-away, every transfer, every work-order transaction, every shipment: if inventory moves or changes state inside your four walls, it's yours - and what the system says must match what's on the rack, in real time, because our customers see their inventory work-order by work-order and we've promised them no delay.

Korpackis a food-grade (SQF) co-packer for leading consumer brands, doubling into350,000 sq ftacross two facilities. We are hiring one Materials Manager per building - Madsen runs multi-shift today; PR runs one shift and is ramping fast, so that seat is a build as much as a job. If owning inventory truth end to end - people, process, and numbers - is the jobyou'vebeen building toward, keep reading.

THE JOURNEY

Own Inventory Truth

• Every inventory transaction in the building - receiving, shipping, material movements, WO transactions, adjustments -accurate, same-day, real-time. The floor and the system reconcile both directions, every day.
• Our customers get per-work-order, real-time inventory visibility. That promise runs through your team.

Lead Four Functions

• Receiving and Shipping Supervisors (one each, all shifts), Material Handling Supervisors across shifts, and Production Control Supervisors with their coordinators - the materials-management side of the production process.
• A team ofroughly 25-30 across all shifts. You develop supervisors who own their shift whenyou'renot standing there.

Run the Standards

• Cross-site standards are set once (by the Director and our functional standards owner); your building executes them exactly - SQF inbound inspection, seal integrity, outbound verification, reason codes, catch-weight conversions.
• 24/7 ownership from a day-based seat: M-F on-site with on-call for escalations - but the real job is putting supervisors in place so capable that the show runs without you. If your phone rings every night, the systemisn'tbuilt yet.

Work the Production Seam

• Your PC Supervisors areshiftpeers to the Production Managers - the floor makesit,your team makes it official. You keep that partnership productive at themanagerlevel.
• Line-feed priority is absolute: a production line waiting on materials is the most expensive problem in the building.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• The dock, the racks, and the system reconcile both directions daily - zero ghost inventory, zero invisible product
• Cycle counts (run independently by Finance) confirm your accuracy instead of correcting it
• Production never waits on materials; customers never wait on inventory truth
• SQF inbound records, seals, and outbound verification audit-ready any day, unannounced

• Health Insurance
• 401(k)
• Paid Time Off (PTO)
• Paid Holidays
