Are you a high‑level supply chain leader who thrives at the intersection of planning and operations? Ready to own material flow, scheduling, and fulfillment across a complex, multi‑site manufacturing environment — all with executive visibility?

We’re partnering with a global manufacturer that’s making big moves in the metals space — think steel, aluminum, and copper — and they need a Supply Chain Manager who operates more like a Superintendent: someone hands‑on, forward‑thinking, and ready to lead from the front.

• Lead all supply chain activities at a flagship U.S. manufacturing site — full responsibility for planning, scheduling, inventory, and materials flow
• Collaborate directly with other plants and corporate leadership across North America (RPNA) to ensure alignment, consistency, and results
• Build, coach, and scale a team: 8 direct and ~16 indirect reports across planning and materials
• Translate corporate SOPs and lean initiatives into on‑the‑ground execution
• Monitor and improve KPIs tied to customer fulfillment, inventory turns, budget adherence, and process performance
• Troubleshoot shortages, streamline material flow, and work cross‑functionally to drive problem‑solving at every level

• Executive Visibility:
  This is a role the C‑suite is watching, not just a back‑office planning position.
• Big Scope + Deep Impact:
  You’ll shape operations across multiple sites while directly influencing plant‑level performance.
• Metals Focus:
  If you’ve worked with steel, aluminum, or copper, this is your edge.
• Real Team Leadership:
  This isn’t a policy‑writing desk job. You’ll be embedded with your teams, guiding, improving, and mentoring.
• Tools That Matter: SAP is in place, or experience with other ERPs is a must.

• 5+ years of experience in supply chain management with multi‑site experience preferred.
• 5+ years of experience in metals or industrial manufacturing — aluminum, steel, copper, etc.
• B.S. degree in Business Administration, Supply Chain Management, Logistics, or another related.
• Strong understanding of material flow, planning, inventory, and scheduling
• Operations mindset — you know how to drive KPIs from the plant floor, not just from a spreadsheet
• SAP or similar ERP experience
• A proven leader who can align, develop, and execute within a high‑performance team
