Job Title: Offering Manager – Operations/Supply

Trystar is a leader in power solutions. We are looking for an Offering Manager – Operations/Supply to own the interface between our solution portfolio and operational execution — setting the fulfillment, cost, and supply requirements that enable Trystar to deliver on its customer commitments.

• Define the fulfillment model requirements across the enterprise portfolio, setting lead time targets and cost expectations that align to customer and market requirements and Trystar’s strategy.
• Set cost-out requirements and priorities across the portfolio, working with ETO Engineering, Manufacturing, and Sourcing to drive measurable gross margin improvement.
• Partner with our sourcing team to develop sourcing requirements and derisk critical solution components, ensuring Trystar can sustain delivery commitments under demand variability.
• Define the operational readiness requirements for new solution introductions and M&A integrations, ensuring our operations team is prepared before commercial launch.
• Provide SIOP with broad market context, new solution launch timing, and forward‑looking demand requirements — informing the process without owning cycle execution, which remains with Sales Ops and Planning.
• Identify and escape capacity constraints, make‑buy risks, and fulfillment bottlenecks that threaten delivery commitments or growth objectives; set resolution requirements for Manufacturing and Sourcing.
• Set cost reduction requirements and priorities across the portfolio by solution family and lifecycle stage; work with ETO Engineering, Manufacturing, and Sourcing to achieve them.
• Consume Finance’s margin reporting and translate it into specific cost‑out targets, design‑to‑cost requirements, and make‑buy direction for the operational teams.
• Participate in EQR Performance reviews, identifying systemic cost overruns and poor‑margin configurations — and setting the requirements to address them.
• Build business cases for platform consolidations, tooling investments, and fulfillment model shifts that improve Trystar’s cost competitiveness and scalability.
• Establish dual‑source and supply risk standards for critical components, working with Sourcing to develop mitigation plans against single points of failure.
• Define operational go‑live requirements for new solution introductions — Manufacturing, Sourcing, Quality, and Planning own the execution against those requirements.
• Set the operational integration requirements for M&A transactions, including manufacturing footprint, supplier rationalization, and inventory strategy; coordinate across functions to ensure execution.

• On‑time delivery (OTD) performance against customer commitments.
• Cost‑out targets achieved by solution family and fulfillment model.
• Cycle time reductions that deliver meaningful lead time improvements.

• 7+ years of experience in operations strategy, supply chain management, product operations, or offering management in a B2B manufacturing or industrial technology business.
• Demonstrated experience with SIOP or S&OP processes and their commercial implications — contributing to the process without owning its execution.
• Strong understanding of CTO vs. ETO fulfillment model tradeoffs and their impact on lead time, margin, and customer experience.
• Experience driving cost‑out programs across manufactured solution portfolios with measurable gross margin outcomes.
• Ability to build supply chain resilience frameworks, including dual sourcing standards and supply risk assessments.
• Cross‑functional credibility with Manufacturing, Sourcing, Planning, Engineering, and Finance — able to set requirements and hold teams accountable without direct authority.
• Proven ability to integrate AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot) into core workflows — research, modeling, communications, synthesis — with demonstrated examples of how AI accelerated output quality or speed.
• Monthly travel required for candidates not based in Minnesota.
• Bachelor’s degree in Operations, Supply Chain, Industrial Engineering, or related field.

• Experience in electrical power systems, capital equipment manufacturing, or adjacent industrial markets.
• Familiarity with ERP systems (Oracle, SAP, or equivalent) and operational data environments.
• APICS CPIM, CSCP, or equivalent supply chain certification a plus.
• MBA a plus.
