A manufacturing company based in Reno is seeking a hands-on Supply Chain Manager to lead day-to-day operational execution across procurement, materials planning, vendor management, and site-level coordination.

You will serve as the operational backbone for the Reno site while also supporting activities tied to a sister location within the region.

<li>Communicate with suppliers daily via email, phone, and meetings.</li>
<li>Negotiate delivery schedules, expedite requests, and cost adjustments when required.</li>
<li>Partner closely with production, logistics, and warehouse teams to ensure seamless materials flow.</li>

Reporting &amp; Administration
<ul>
<li>Pull operational reports from ERP (inventory levels, PO status, delivery performance).</li>

<li>Coach junior supply chain talent on best practices, system usage, and vendor management.</li>
</ul>
Qualifications
<ul>
<li>5+ years of supply chain, materials, or procurement experience within a manufacturing environment.</li>
<li>Strong operational execution mindset—organized, detail-driven, fast, and accurate.</li>
<li>ERP experience required; ability to extract, analyze, and act on data.</li>
<li>Proven ability to manage multiple moving parts without losing precision.</li>
<li>Experience supervising Buyers or junior procurement staff preferred.</li>
</ul>

A grounded operator—not a strategist—who loves the rhythm of daily supply chain work. Someone who balances speed with accuracy, solves problems before they escalate, and keeps production running without disruption.

<h3>Job Description</h3>
We are seeking a technology-driven, hands-on Supply Chain Manager who excels at both leading a team and personally executing critical purchasing activities.

You will oversee Purchasing, Inventory, and Logistics while also functioning as the primary buyer for critical, technical, or long-lead materials. We serve aerospace, electronics, automotive, and the rapidly expanding global battery industry, working with companies such as Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, Meta, Google, and Harley-Davidson.

<li>Resolve supply shortages, delivery issues, engineering changes, and material disruptions quickly and effectively.</li>
</ul>
 
Leadership &amp; Supply Chain Management
<ul>
<li>Lead and develop a lean, high-performing Supply Chain Team including Purchasing, Inventory, and Logistics.</li>
<li>Collaborate with engineering, production, and planning to ensure material availability aligns with build schedules.</li>
<li>Partner closely with the Production Planner to optimize MRP integration and execution.</li>
<li>Establish and monitor KPIs for purchasing, inventory turns, supplier performance, and on-time delivery.</li>
<li>Analyze inventory health and recommend strategies to reduce working capital and improve cycle times.</li>
<li>Conduct timely and constructive performance evaluations.</li>
</ul>
 
Technology, AI, and Process Improvement
<ul>
<li>Use AI-powered forecasting, analytics, and supplier performance tools to enhance planning and risk management.</li>
<li>Identify bottlenecks, propose continuous improvement initiatives, and streamline procurement workflows.</li>
<li>Utilize data-driven insights to improve supplier scoring, accuracy, and long-term sourcing strategies.</li>
</ul>
 
Education &amp; Experience
<ul>
<li>APICS, CPIM, and/or CSCP certification strongly preferred.</li>
<li>6–8 years of supply chain or purchasing experience, including at least 4 years in a managerial or supervisory role.</li>
