Supply Chain Manager

Supply Chain ManagerGORUCK builds gear that lasts, and our logistics need to match. We aren't looking for a passive manager; we're looking for an architect. Logistics at GORUCK isn't about tracking status updates—it's about engineering a system that moves products from factory to customer with zero manual friction. If you think spreadsheets are a substitute for an automated system, you won't fit here. If you're ready to build, optimize, and own the flow, keep reading.What You'll DoDrive Inbound Workflows: Design, automate, and execute shipment orchestration from global factories to distribution centers, taking direct ownership of the flow of goods to eliminate delays.Execute the PO Lifecycle: Build and run the framework for end-to-end purchase order execution, driving the process through automated validation, status tracking, and aggressive error-detection.Actively Steer the Supply Chain: Use the "Control Tower" data to make real-time decisions, resolve operational bottlenecks, and take direct action to keep goods moving, rather than just monitoring for passive status updates.Execute Exception Management: Develop and drive a "Management by Exception" system to replace manual intervention with decisive action triggers, ensuring standardized corrective responses to all delays.Scale Operational Visibility: Build and maintain the analytics infrastructure to provide real-time visibility into cost, quality, and transit data, driving automated decision-making.Eliminate Manual Processes: Continuously audit workflows to identify and replace manual data entry and spreadsheet-based tracking with integrated system solutions.Partner on Systems Strategy: Collaborate cross-functionally to integrate supply chain data with product launch roadmaps, ensuring technical scalability supports business growth.Who You AreYou've probably cut your teeth in complex logistics for high-growth brands—if you work at a big company where process trumps results, you're unlikely to fit our culture.Supply Chain & Logistics Foundation: 5+ years of hands-on experience in complex logistics and supply chain operations, with a proven track record of building systems, not just operating them.Technical & Analytics Proficiency: Proficient in translating complex supply chain data into actionable reporting.
