Supply Chain Manager
Location: Norcross, GA
Schedule: In Office with some hybrid flexibility
Compensation: $80,000–$120,000 + bonus
About the Opportunity
A well-established company with more than 100 years of history is seeking a Supply Chain Manager to oversee demand planning, inventory purchasing, and inbound logistics. This is a hands-on role within a growing $20M company where you will have significant ownership and visibility across the organization.
The ideal candidate is a thinker and problem solver who enjoys taking ownership, working with data, and making decisions that directly impact inventory investment and customer service. This is not a role where you can simply rely on other departments to provide the answers—you will be expected to understand the business, identify issues, and drive solutions.
What You'll Do
Candidates with experience in distribution, manufacturing, inventory planning, purchasing, 3PL/logistics, or international supply chain may be a strong fit.
The Right Person
This company is looking for someone who wants to own the supply chain function, not simply manage a list of tasks. You should be comfortable making decisions with imperfect information, thinking several months ahead, and understanding how purchasing decisions affect inventory, cash, production, and customer service.
The company currently manages approximately $4M in inventory, including roughly $1.5M in safety stock, making thoughtful planning and inventory management critical to the role.
This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys being hands-on, analytical, accountable, and closely involved in the business.
