Salary Range: $ To $ Annually

JOB SUMMARY

The Director, Supply Chain, leads all supply chain and planning activities at Marki Microwave, delivering a reliable, high-quality, and cost-optimized flow of materials and products in support of Marki's portfolio of best-in-class RF products.

This is a hands-on leadership role: you will set strategic direction and drive continuous improvement across the organization while staying close enough to the business to step directly into tactical issues when they arise. You will drive alignment with Engineering, Operations, Sales and Marketing, Finance, and HR to meet near-term goals while building toward a long-term vision.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own and lead Marki's supply chain organization — sourcing and procurement, inventory, shipping and logistics, and supply planning — ensuring a reliable, high-quality, and cost-optimized flow of materials and products that supports Marki's growth.
• Establish the long-term vision and near-term goals for the organization; evaluate performance against those goals and course correct as needed.
• Proactively identify and mitigate enterprise-level supply chain risks, including single-source exposure, geopolitical and tariff exposure, and capacity constraints. Build resilience through dual-sourcing, strategic inventory build, and contingency planning across the organization.
• Oversee Supply Chain activities, including capacity planning, inventory positioning, make/buy decisions and vertical-integration strategy, to ensure Marki's RF product lines are supported through every stage of their lifecycle, whether built internally or through external partners. Be hands-on enough to step into tactical issues and escalations when needed.
• Own Key Performance Indicators and operational metrics across supply chain and planning; provide regular updates to the VP, Operations and executive leadership.
• Drive continuous improvement in supply chain and planning processes, procedures, and systems — including ERP, APS, P2P, and MES — and champion the use of data analytics and AI-enabled tools to strengthen forecasting, planning, and risk visibility.
• Manage key relationships with internal and external stakeholders, including senior leaders, functional peers, suppliers, and customers. Focus on building lasting partnerships with key suppliers and drive supplier pricing and quality improvements through regular business reviews and personal influence.
• Develop and manage budgets for the supply chain organization, including staffing, training, equipment, and material purchases.
• Lead talent acquisition and organizational design as the team scales. Partner with HR to identify staffing needs, source and interview candidates, and make hiring recommendations that build a qualified, high-performing team.
• Set clear goals and priorities for the team, delegate effectively, and hold direct reports accountable for quality, productivity, and deadlines.
• Conduct regular check-ins and formal reviews. Manage performance and workplace issues promptly and fairly in accordance with company policy.
• Build capability through training and mentoring. Coach and mentor direct reports, identify growth opportunities and training needs, and support career development to build bench strength and retain talent.
• Promote an ethics-based, collaborative culture across the organization.
