Supply Chain Manager

Supply Chain Manager

Location : Norcross, GA

Schedule : In Office with some hybrid flexibility

Compensation : $80,000-$120,000 + bonus



About the Opportunity
A well-established company with more than 100 years of history is seeking a Supply Chain Manager to oversee demand planning, inventory purchasing, and inbound logistics. This is a hands-on role within a growing $20M company where you will have significant ownership and visibility across the organization.


The ideal candidate is a thinker and problem solver who enjoys taking ownership, working with data, and making decisions that directly impact inventory investment and customer service. This is not a role where you can simply rely on other departments to provide the answers-you will be expected to understand the business, identify issues, and drive solutions.



What You'll Do

• Own demand planning, inventory purchasing, and inbound logistics from planning through delivery
• Develop purchasing plans 8-10 months in advance, balancing demand, lead times, inventory levels, and cash investment
• Manage approximately 75 purchase orders annually across international and domestic suppliers
• Analyze inventory levels, reorder points, safety stock, and product demand to ensure the right inventory is available at the right time
• Review safety stock approximately every other month and conduct product-line reviews every six weeks
• Build and analyze Excel models to evaluate purchasing and inventory scenarios
• Use ERP planning tools to identify purchasing needs and validate system recommendations
• Coordinate international ocean freight, customs documentation, brokerage, and inbound logistics
• Monitor purchase orders and ensure invoices, quantities, costs, and supporting documentation are accurate
• Work closely with Sales, Production, Accounting, Logistics, and the General Manager/CEO
• Support the company's transition to increased manufacturing in Norcross, including raw material purchasing and Bills of Material (BOMs)
• Help balance minimum order quantities, container capacity, vendor requirements, inventory investment, and customer demand
• Identify opportunities to prevent excess or obsolete inventory while maintaining appropriate safety stock
• Participate in tactical planning meetings and provide data-driven recommendations

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree required
• 5+ years of hands-on purchasing, supply chain, logistics, or inventory planning experience
• Experience with demand planning and purchase order management
• Strong Excel skills, including modeling, data validation, and scenario analysis
• Experience working with an ERP system; Microsoft Dynamics Business Central (BC) experience is a plus
• Strong understanding of inventory planning, reorder points, safety stock, and inventory investment
• Ocean freight and international purchasing experience required
• Experience with customs documentation and international brokerage
• Ability to understand and challenge ERP/system recommendations when the data or assumptions don't make sense
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Comfortable working in a smaller-company environment where you own your responsibilities from start to finish
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally

Backgrounds That Could Translate Well
Candidates with experience in distribution, manufacturing, inventory planning, purchasing, 3PL/logistics, or international supply chain may be a strong fit.
