Vice President of Supply Chain Strategy

Title: VP, Supply Chain Strategy

Reports to: Chief Operating Officer

Job Type: Full Time, Exempt

Location: IOS Office (Preference: Naples Office)

At IOS™, we're not just another supplier. We're a Commercial Openings System Integrator. We own it all: estimating, budgeting, project management, fabrication, installation, integration, and service, with solving customer problems as our guiding light. That "one team, zero finger-pointing" mindset shapes how we work, and how we hire. Our people move across four modes:
Build, Fix, Upgrade, Maintain, so no two days look the same. From doors and frames to millwork, building specialties (Division 10), gate access, and access control: built to code, built to last, no shortcuts. And we're growing our national footprint, with real opportunity for people who want to grow with us.
