Job Description

Director of Supply Chain

Lead supply chain strategy and execution for a financially strong, privately held manufacturer with a global footprint.

This isn’t your typical supply chain role. We’re looking for a forward-thinking leader who can operate strategically and tactically in a fast-paced manufacturing environment—ideally with plastics manufacturing experience (thermoforming strongly preferred). This role offers a clear executive track and the chance to make an immediate, measurable impact.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Executive succession plan — positioned as a successor role to VP of Operations.
  • High visibility — collaborate directly with senior decision-makers.
  • Strong team — lead and develop a group of 30 across planning, logistics, warehousing, and procurement (procurement is a small component).
  • Operational impact — own the full S&OP process for multi-site, high-growth operations.
  • Culture of improvement — work for a company that’s scaling and values hands-on leadership.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead and refine the Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process for North American operations.
  • Build alignment across manufacturing, sales, procurement, finance, and logistics.
  • Analyze and report on key supply chain metrics and KPIs.
  • Present performance insights and recommendations to the executive team.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives to support cost control, service levels, and scalability.
  • Mentor and develop a high-performing cross-functional team.

What You Bring

  • 7+ years in supply chain operations leadership within fast-paced manufacturing.
  • Plastics manufacturing or similar experience required; thermoforming strongly preferred.
  • Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and drive organizational change.
  • Strong presentation and communication skills with executive leadership.
  • Proficiency in ERP/MRP systems and data-driven planning.
  • Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree and certifications (CSCP, CPIM, CPSM) preferred.

Important Notes

  • This role is being posted in multiple locations and may not be in the area where it is listed. All candidates must be open to relocation if necessary.
  • Onsite only — no remote or hybrid option.
  • Relocation assistance available for the right candidate.
