Job Description

About the Role

A manufacturing company based in Reno is seeking a hands-on Supply Chain Manager to lead day-to-day operational execution across procurement, materials planning, vendor management, and site-level coordination. This role is not strategic by design—it is built for someone who thrives in the engine room of operations, driving throughput, accuracy, and supplier performance with discipline and urgency.

You will serve as the operational backbone for the Reno site while also supporting activities tied to a sister location within the region.

Key Responsibilities

Operational Execution

• Own end-to-end supply chain operations—procurement, purchasing, expediting, order tracking, and inventory flow.
• Maintain accurate data integrity in ERP systems; ensure timely PO creation, updates, and close-outs.
• Execute demand planning and materials scheduling to support uninterrupted production.
• Monitor supplier on-time delivery, lead times, pricing adherence, and quality compliance.
• Resolve day-to-day supply issues quickly—escalations, shortages, delays, shipment errors.

Vendor & Stakeholder Coordination

• Communicate with suppliers daily via email, phone, and meetings.
• Negotiate delivery schedules, expedite requests, and cost adjustments when required.
• Partner closely with production, logistics, and warehouse teams to ensure seamless materials flow.

Reporting & Administration

• Pull operational reports from ERP (inventory levels, PO status, delivery performance).
• Track cost, savings, and supply-related KPIs.
• Maintain documentation for audits, compliance, and internal tracking.

Leadership

• Supervise a Buyer and coordinate workload allocation.
• Build a culture of accuracy, urgency, and follow-through within the team.
• Coach junior supply chain talent on best practices, system usage, and vendor management.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of supply chain, materials, or procurement experience within a manufacturing environment.
• Strong operational execution mindset—organized, detail-driven, fast, and accurate.
• ERP experience required; ability to extract, analyze, and act on data.
• Proven ability to manage multiple moving parts without losing precision.
• Experience supervising Buyers or junior procurement staff preferred.

Ideal Candidate Profile

A grounded operator—not a strategist—who loves the rhythm of daily supply chain work. Someone who balances speed with accuracy, solves problems before they escalate, and keeps production running without disruption.
