    • Support and co-own supplier relationships in China in close partnership with the VP Supply Chain and leadership team.
    • Help negotiate and manage commercial terms, including pricing, payment terms, and Incoterms.
    • Serve as the primary point of contact for supplier-related topics.
    • Drive supplier performance across cost, lead time, quality, and reliability.
    • Identify and onboard new suppliers when needed.
  • Purchase Order Management & Replenishment
    • Prepare and issue accurate purchase orders based on business requirements.
    • Propose replenishment plans based on demand, inventory levels, and lead times.
    • Monitor order confirmations and ensure alignment with agreed commercial terms.
    • Track purchase order progress from placement through shipment.
    • Proactively identify supply risks and drive corrective actions.
    • Define and manage the spare parts strategy together with Operations and Customer Support, including forecasting, replenishment, and inventory optimization.
  • Production Planning & Lead Time Optimization
    • Coordinate production schedules with suppliers to support business needs.
    • Monitor timelines and drive on-time production completion.
    • Work closely with suppliers to reduce lead times and improve flexibility.
    • Anticipate delays early and implement mitigation plans.
    • Ensure a smooth handoff from production completion into logistics execution.
  • Quality Control & Inbound Readiness
    • Oversee and continuously improve quality control processes for inbound shipments from China.
    • Coordinate pre-shipment inspections and quality checks with suppliers and third parties.
    • Review inspection reports and take action on non-conformities.
    • Work with suppliers to resolve quality issues and implement corrective actions.
    • Ensure shipments meet quality standards before departure.
    • Manage and oversee product compliance-related topics.
  • Cross-Functional Coordination
    • Partner closely with Finance on payment planning, cash flow timing, and supplier terms.
    • Align with Logistics teams to ensure a smooth transition from factory to freight.
    • Coordinate with Warehouse and Operations teams on inbound planning requirements.
    • Ensure accurate, timely information flow across all key stakeholders.
  • Systems & Data Management
    • Use Cin7 Core to manage purchase orders, supplier data, and inventory flows.
    • Maintain accurate system data across orders, lead times, costs, and supplier performance.
    • Ensure strong data integrity across procurement and inventory processes.
    • Use system insights to improve planning and decision-making.
  • Performance & Continuous Improvement
    • Track and report on key KPIs, including OTIF, lead times, supplier performance, and quality.
    • Identify cost-saving and efficiency opportunities across the supply chain.
    • Drive continuous improvement initiatives with suppliers and internal teams.
    • Help build scalable sourcing and upstream supply chain processes for the next stage of growth.

Qualifications

  • Understanding of production planning and upstream supply chain flows in a practical, hands-on way.
  • Direct experience creating and managing purchase orders and replenishment cycles.
  • Knowledge of payment terms, Incoterms, and international shipping processes.
  • Experience overseeing quality control and supplier compliance.
  • Experience with Cin7 Core or a similar ERP / inventory system.
  • Highly analytical, organized, and structured in problem-solving.
  • Clear and confident communication with suppliers and internal stakeholders.
  • Ability to balance detail, urgency, and long-term process improvement.

What Makes You Successful in This Role

  • Strong ownership and proactive approach.
  • Detail-oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture.
  • Sound commercial judgment and negotiation instincts.
  • Technically curious and interested in product construction.
  • Ability to manage multiple moving parts without losing control.
  • Build trust with suppliers while maintaining high performance standards.
  • Calm under pressure with proactive problem-solving skills.

What Success Looks Like

  • Strong supplier relationships with clear accountability and follow-through.
  • High-quality inbound shipments with minimal defects.
  • Full visibility and control from PO creation to delivery at U.S. ports.

  • Fast-moving environment β€” no heavy bureaucracy, just smart people building quickly.
  • Meaningful impact β€” your work will directly affect availability, margin, quality, and customer experience.
