Supply Chain and Logistics Manager

Solarcore is an advanced materials technology company that develops the most scientifically innovative thermal solutions on the planet. We are on a mission to solve the world’s largest thermal efficiency problems by revolutionizing the antiquated world of thermal insulation.

We're looking for a hands-on Supply Chain and Logistics Manager to own day-to-day supply chain execution, product coordination, material availability, inventory, warehouse operations, and domestic and international freight. This role turns approved customer requirements into reliable fulfillment plans, keeps costs and delivery risks visible, and improves the processes that support a growing B2B materials business.

This is an individual contributor role today. There will be no direct reports initially, and the person in this role must be willing and able to personally execute the work, including receiving, inventory organization, picking, packing, staging, and shipping. Team leadership may be added in the future as Solarcore grows towards main plant operations, currently anticipated withing 18 months.

• Supplier and production execution: Place and manage supplier orders based on approved customer requirements. Coordinate manufacturing and converting partners on capacity, schedules, specifications, quantities, release dates, and changes.
• Samples and evaluation fulfillment: Fulfill sample and evaluation requests referred by Sales Operations. Confirm material or production availability, coordinate sourcing or pull from stock, and provide shipment, cost, and tracking details back to Sales Operations.
• Material and inventory visibility: Confirm material availability and maintain visibility to inventory, allocations, and replenishment needs at partner and storage locations. Reconcile sheets, rolls, and square meters against product rules and production requirements.
• Converting and supporting materials: Coordinate lamination, converting, packaging, cartons, and hangtags. Align material transfers and finished-goods pickups across suppliers, converters, and freight providers.
• Freight and delivery execution: Arrange parcel, LTL, air, and ocean shipments or customer-forwarder pickups. Coordinate shipping documentation, agreed Incoterms, tracking, and delivery exceptions with carriers, forwarders, and partners.
• Cost and financial inputs: Validate supplier, converting, packaging, and freight costs. Compare transport options and provide cost and shipment records to finance and Sales Operations for quoting, invoicing, and margin visibility.
• Quality and exceptions: Work with suppliers and technical teams to resolve defects, shortages, production delays, and shipping issues. Track corrective actions and provide credible recovery plans and revised dates.
• Reporting and improvement: Maintain production and shipment status in shared order records. Track on-time performance, lead time, defects, freight cost, and order profitability; improve supplier workflows, SOPs, and reporting.
• Warehouse & Inventory Management: Personally own warehouse operations, inventory accuracy, and material flow across Solarcore storage locations. Execute and manage receiving, inspection, labeling, storage, picking, packing, staging, and shipping of raw materials, work-in-process, samples, and finished goods. Maintain accurate inventory by product, lot/batch, quantity, and unit of measure; establish cycle-count and reconciliation processes; and ensure materials are properly identified, traceable, and available to support production and customer commitments.
• Hand-on operating ownership: Operate comfortably in a growing environment where the role is responsible for both planning and execution. Step directly into day-to-day logistics and warehouse needs.
