Manufacturing Manager 1 - Material Plan & Execution

Job Description Summary About This Role

Great manufacturing doesn't happen by accident — it happens when the right materials arrive at the right time, production schedules are built on solid plans, and a team is empowered to execute with precision. As a Manufacturing Operations Manager focused on Material Planning & Execution, you'll be the engine behind that alignment. You'll lead a team, own the manufacturing planning processes, and drive the kind of operational discipline that keeps production moving and customers satisfied.

This is a role for someone who brings people together around a shared goal — and who finds genuine satisfaction in building systems, developing talent, and making the floor run better every day.

Job Description

What You'll Do

• Lead master planning and material execution processes, including production scheduling and purchasing needs, ensuring alignment with operational Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
• Partner cross-functionally to coordinate and expedite material flow — from supplier delivery through internal department handoffs — to keep production on schedule.
• Identify and implement process improvements that optimize inventory levels, reduce waste, and improve throughput.
• Hire, develop, and coach your team — setting clear performance expectations, supporting growth, and building a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
• Serve as a resource and mentor for less experienced colleagues, helping build team capability and consensus around operational decisions.
• Monitor production plan adherence and proactively surface risks, proposing practical solutions when manufacturing complexity or interdependent production cycles require it.

Who We're Looking For

You're a people-first leader with a solid procurement foundation — someone who brings both operational discipline and the interpersonal skills to bring a team together around shared goals.

Required:

• Bachelor's degree in a Supply Chain or related field, but we are most interested in your total experience and professional achievements

• Minimum 3 years of experience in sourcing, procurement and/or supply chain

• Alternatively, a high school diploma or General Educational Development (GED) credential with at least 6 years of relevant procurement or supply chain experience

• Demonstrated ability to manage supplier relationships and execute purchasing processes

• Experience working within an ERP system (e.g., SAP, Oracle)

• Ability to lead a small team and manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment

Preferred:

• Familiarity with sourcing policy application and category management

• Experience managing cross-functional stakeholders and driving alignment across teams

• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to propose practical solutions outside of standard parameters
