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.
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
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
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]
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.
