YOUR ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of warehouse personnel; own performance management, training plans, and employee development to build a high-performing, safety-first team.
• Direct all warehouse operations — receiving, inspection, storage, material handling, inventory control, and shipping — ensuring accuracy, compliance, and efficiency across all shifts.
• Maintain inventory integrity through disciplined cycle counting, audits, reconciliations, and root-cause resolution of discrepancies; target and sustain best-in-class inventory accuracy.
• Oversee Kanban and replenishment systems to guarantee uninterrupted material availability for production; proactively identify and resolve supply gaps before they impact the line.
• Manage inbound and outbound logistics activities, coordinating with carriers and internal stakeholders to meet delivery commitments and customer requirements.
• Ensure timely and accurate SAP transactions for all inventory movements, receipts, and shipments; champion data integrity as a foundation for operational decision-making.
• Develop, track, and report warehouse KPIs — including inventory accuracy, on-time shipment, receiving performance, and labor productivity — and drive continuous improvement actions.
• Lead 5S, Lean, and continuous improvement initiatives to optimize warehouse layout, material flow, storage utilization, and overall operational efficiency.
• Ensure full compliance with safety regulations, hazardous material handling requirements, OSHA standards, and company policies; support internal and external audits and maintain accurate documentation and records for all warehouse and logistics activities.
• Perform other duties and special projects as assigned to support overall warehouse, logistics, and Supply Chain objectives.

WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR THE ROLE

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Business Administration, or Operations Management preferred. Equivalent combination of relevant work experience and education will be considered — candidates with college coursework (completed or in progress) alongside strong operational experience are encouraged to apply. Relevant industry certifications such as APICS CSCP or CPIM are a plus.
• Typically requires 5+ years of warehouse, logistics, and inventory management experience in a manufacturing, semiconductor, or advanced materials environment, with 2+ years in a supervisory or team leadership role managing direct reports.
• Strong working knowledge of warehouse operations, inventory control methodologies (cycle counting, ABC analysis), material flow, receiving, and shipping processes.
• ERP system proficiency required; SAP experience required, with SAP EWM (Extended Warehouse Management) highly preferred.
• Hands-on experience with Lean Manufacturing principles, Kanban systems, 5S, and continuous improvement methodologies in a production environment.
• Demonstrated ability to analyze operational data, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions that measurably improve inventory accuracy and logistics performance.
• Strong leadership, problem-solving, and organizational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced manufacturing setting.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel; comfortable building and maintaining performance dashboards and operational reports.
• Forklift certification and material handling equipment experience preferred; commitment to safety, quality, and operational excellence in all activities.
