[job_card.job_description]

Our client designs and manufactures cutting-edge electronics that power the future. Their battery management systems (BMS) are used in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems like solar. The organization is a tight-knit, collaborative team that thrives on innovation, precision, and continuous improvement.

They seek a proactive, detail-obsessed, and systems-savvy Project Manager of Inventory & Operations to lead inventory management and operational coordination. This is a hybrid role that blends hands-on inventory oversight with cross-functional collaboration, purchasing, and process optimization. You’ll be stepping into a well-organized transition as a long-time team member retires but you will have the ability to bring your own ideas to evolve and enhance systems as the company grows.

This is the perfect opportunity for someone who loves spreadsheets, thrives on structure, and enjoys building processes that make a company run like a well-oiled machine.

What You’ll Do

Inventory & Production Management

  • Monitor inventory levels, adjust reorder points, and forecast demand based on sales history and known orders
  • Submit and manage purchase orders; reconcile incoming inventory and resolve discrepancies
  • Maintain emergency stock and coordinate customer-supplied parts to contract manufacturers
  • Schedule production based on inventory availability, priorities, and due dates
  • Run quarterly inventory reports and evolve inventory systems for efficiency
  • Ensure all operational supplies (hardware, packaging, janitorial, office) are stocked and ordered as needed
  • Liaise with IT, sales, and office teams to align systems with business needs

Vendor & Purchasing Coordination

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with suppliers
  • Track order status, lead times, and arrange inbound shipments
  • Participate in regular vendor meetings and manage PRR / RMA shipments
  • Research and recommend new vendors as needed
  • Reconcile credit memos and update inventory systems accordingly
  • Cross-Functional Support

  • Collaborate with production, customer service, and accounting to ensure timely order fulfillment
  • Enter and manage large-volume customer orders with future ship dates
  • Verify invoices, match credit card charges, and resolve discrepancies with suppliers
  • Support ad hoc reporting needs across departments
  • What You Bring

  • Strong organizational and planning skills
  • Advanced Excel and spreadsheet proficiency
  • Inventory management and scheduling experience
  • A “numbers-first” mindset with sharp attention to detail
  • Ability to prioritize, multitask, and solve problems independently
  • Outgoing, proactive personality with a positive attitude
  • Excellent written and verbal English communication skills
  • Associate degree required; Bachelor’s degree preferred
  • International shipping paperwork
