## Job description

As Lead Supply Chain Specialist, you'll be one of the architects behind how material moves through our operation: how it's received, stocked, kitted, consumed, and ultimately shipped as finished product. You'll design these flows in NetSuite, document them into clear work instructions, and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the team on the floor to bring them to life.

This is a builder's role. It sits at the intersection of supply chain operations, manufacturing systems, and continuous improvement — ideal for someone who thinks in process maps, speaks fluent ERP, and gets genuine satisfaction from watching a well-designed workflow hum.

## WHAT YOU'LL DO

ERP Implementation & Manufacturing Systems (~50%)

- Lead the development and implementation of manufacturing ERP functionality (NetSuite) for our new manufacturing line, including:
- Material inbounding — receiving, inspection routing, and putaway processes
- Stocking and distribution — bin management, inventory accuracy, and material distribution to the line
- Stockroom operations — end-to-end stockroom process flows, cycle counting, and kitting
- Work order processing — assembly work order release, material issuance, backflushing, and completion
- Sales order fulfillment — pick, pack, ship workflows and order-to-cash process alignment
- Configure, test, and validate ERP workflows against real-world production scenarios before go-live
- Build ERP reports and dashboards (saved searches, custom reports) that give Operations, Finance, and leadership real-time visibility
- Support and optimize barcode/mobile scanning workflows (RF-SMART) for transaction accuracy on the floor

Process Design & Continuous Improvement (~30%)

- Create clear, visual work instructions, process flow maps, and standard work documentation
- Design highly efficient workstreams from a blank page — then implement, measure, and refine them
- Apply Lean / Six Sigma principles (value stream mapping, 5S, root cause analysis, waste elimination) to drive cycle time, quality, and inventory accuracy improvements
- Help establish the KPI framework for the operation — e.g., inventory accuracy, on-time delivery, work order cycle time, stockroom throughput, and fill rate — and own the reporting cadence
- Train operators, stockroom personnel, and leads on new processes and system transactions

Cross-Functional Collaboration (~20%)

- Partner with Sales, Finance, and IT to align processes end to end — ensuring order flow, inventory valuation, and system data stay clean across departments
- Work with IT on system enhancements, integrations, and troubleshooting; act as the Operations voice in system change decisions
- Provide periodic coverage across other operations disciplines (receiving, stockroom, planning) as business needs require
- Serve as a go-to resource and informal mentor for ERP and process questions across the operation

## WHAT YOU BRING

Required

- 5+ years of progressive supply chain / manufacturing operations experience, with demonstrated leadership of systems or process initiatives
- Strong ERP experience — NetSuite required; RF-SMART experience highly preferred
- Fluency in Lean and/or Six Sigma methodologies and thought processes
- Strong understanding of standard manufacturing flows in an aerospace or medical device environment, specifically electro-mechanical assembly operations
- Proven ability to create work instructions, process flows, and visual work standards
- Expert-level computer systems skills: Excel (pivot tables, lookups, data modeling), databases, project management tools, and ERP report writing
- Strong communication skills — comfortable working with everyone from assembly operators to executives

## Preferred

- Lean or Six Sigma certification (Green Belt or higher)
- Experience supporting a new manufacturing line launch, facility startup, or ERP implementation/go-live
- Familiarity with regulated manufacturing and quality systems (AS9100, ISO 13485, ITAR, or FDA QSR environments)
- Experience with material traceability and lot/serial control requirements

## WORKING ENVIRONMENT & PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS

- Split between office and manufacturing floor/stockroom environments
- Occasional lifting of materials up to [35] lbs; standing and walking for extended periods during floor support
- [On-site role; some flexibility for remote administrative work as appropriate]

## WHY JOIN US

Most supply chain roles ask you to maintain someone else's system. This one asks you to build your own. You'll have real ownership over how material flows, how work gets done, and how performance gets measured — on a brand-new line, with leadership support and cross-functional visibility from day one. The processes you design will become the foundation this operation scales on.
