Vice President of Supply Chain

The Company is seeking a Vice President of Supply Chain to lead enterprise-wide supply chain performance in a complex manufacturing environment. The role oversees procurement, strategic sourcing, supply planning, inventory, material requirements, supplier performance, and material availability. The successful candidate will improve availability and customer service while reducing inventory, working capital, and total costs. Responsibilities include leading sourcing and supplier negotiations, translating approved demand into executable supply plans, strengthening supplier accountability, and developing the supply chain organization. This is a hands-on leadership role that combines strategic direction with direct involvement in operational issues and manufacturing-floor problem solving. Candidates should have progressive leadership experience across supply chain, procurement, sourcing, materials, and planning, along with direct experience managing manufacturing or production operations. They should have managed substantial external spend, complex supplier negotiations, and inventory performance, and demonstrate strong financial acumen in areas such as working capital, cost, cash, and total cost of ownership. The role requires executive communication skills, sound judgment, a data-driven approach, and the ability to build accountable teams and collaborate across functions. Strong supplier-management and negotiation capabilities, a bias for action, and a visible, hands-on leadership style are essential.
