Remote Supply Chain Specialist
We need someone to own our supply chain end-to-end: procurement, production planning, logistics, inventory. Fully remote. $90,000 a year. If a shipment is late or a vendor drops the ball, this is the person who catches it first. The Role Sourcing materials, negotiating with vendors, scheduling production, getting finished goods out the door — all of it runs through this position. Nothing in a supply chain sits alone. A delayed shipment from one supplier pushes back a production run, which pushes back a delivery date, which lands on a customer's desk as a complaint. Part of this job is stopping that chain reaction before it starts. Responsibilities Evaluate and manage suppliers, and negotiate contracts that hold up. Set production schedules based on actual demand data. Handle logistics: carrier contracts, delivery routes, shipment tracking. Track inventory in our supply chain software. Overstock ties up cash; understock loses sales. Watch for risk — supplier delays, port slowdowns, material price spikes — and act on it early. Find real cost savings. Not the kind that shows up as a quality complaint two months later. Audit vendors against contract and compliance standards on a regular cycle. Build monthly reports on delivery times, cost trends, and inventory turnover for leadership. Check in with sales, finance, and customer service so nobody is caught off guard by a change in the supply chain. What You'll Need Bachelor's degree, minimum requirement. 3 years in supply chain, logistics, or a directly related role. A working understanding of the full process — procurement through inventory — not just one part of it. Daily comfort in ERP or supply chain management software. Ability to pull a decision out of a spreadsheet, not just a summary. Negotiation skills that hold up under pushback from vendors. Writing and speaking that don't need three rounds of clarification. A history of managing your own schedule well, since nobody here is watching over your shoulder. Also Helpful Background in lean manufacturing or Six Sigma. Experience running supply chains across more than one country. Direct use of demand forecasting software. Comfort presenting numbers and recommendations to leadership.
