Job Overview:
Are you a supply chain leader who enjoys owning the full picture—people, materials, suppliers, schedules, inventory, and customer delivery?

This role offers the opportunity to lead a buyer/planner/scheduler team supporting a defined value stream within the Southern Pines manufacturing operation. You’ll have the autonomy to run your portion of the business, partner closely with operations and supply chain peers, and directly impact on-time shipment, inventory performance, supplier accountability, and production execution.

You’ll lead a team of buyers, planners, and schedulers responsible for material availability, production scheduling, supplier follow-up, inventory management, and customer shipment commitments.

The ideal candidate will bring strong buying, planning, scheduling, or materials experience within a manufacturing environment—preferably assembly-based—with exposure to bills of material, ERP systems, supplier constraints, production schedules, and customer delivery requirements.

Success will also require strong communication, organization, follow-through, and the ability to build effective relationships with direct reports and cross-functional partners.

For a supply chain professional seeking autonomy, team leadership, and visible impact, this is an opportunity to strengthen performance and drive meaningful improvement within an established business.
