  • Maintain and update material planning and logistics master data to ensure system accuracy and visibility.
  • Proactively identify and resolve material shortages and out-of-stock risks.
  • Analyze supply chain variances, conduct root cause analysis, and implement corrective actions.
  • Monitor inventory health and manage risks related to excess or obsolete inventory.
  • Collaborate with Finance and Operations to support supplier payments, production goals, and cost control initiatives.
  • Travel up to 25%, including occasional international travel, as needed.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience in inventory management, logistics, or supply chain planning
  • Experience with purchasing, inventory control, and supplier coordination
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to identify process inefficiencies and implement improvements
  • General understanding of freight forwarding and international logistics
  • Experience working with ERP, TMS, or MRP systems
  • Ability to manage competing priorities in a dynamic environment
  • Willingness to travel up to 25%
  • A bachelor’s degree in logistics, supply chain management, or a related field is preferred

Bonus Qualifications:
  • Experience with SAP S/4HANA
  • Background in demand planning or forecasting
  • Experience working with third-party logistics (3PL) providers
  • Vendor and supplier negotiation experience
  • Knowledge of customs, brokerage, and export compliance
  • APICS CPIM certification

Benefits:
  • Pre-tax commuter benefits
  • Employer (HireArt) Subsidized healthcare benefits (eligibility begins on the first of the month following 60 days of service)
  • Flexible Spending Account for healthcare-related costs
  • HireArt covers all costs for short and long-term disability and life insurance
  • 401k package
