Supply Chain Director

Our client is a privately owned manufacturing company in the Greater Atlanta looking for local candidates only that are still early on in their logistics and supply chain career.

Reporting directly to the COO, this newly created role offers the opportunity to own the company's transportation and logistics strategy while leading the broader end-to-end supply chain. If you're looking for a role where you can make decisions, implement new ideas quickly, and have a direct impact on the business, we'd like to talk.

This is not a large corporate environment where you're responsible for one function. You'll wear multiple hats, partner closely with Operations, and help build a scalable supply chain capable of supporting the company's continued growth.
