Materials & Purchasing Manager - Oklahoma City, OK

Position Information Seat Summary: This seat owns materials and purchasing for one of CMP's manufacturing sites. The person in it is accountable for purchase orders, vendor performance, inventory health, and site logistics (receiving, shipping, and internal material movement) at our OK facility, and personally leads, manages, and holds accountable the people who do this work. This is a single-site seat. It coordinates with both where materials, cores, or shared vendors cross between sites.

Directly lead purchasing, receiving, shipping, warehouse, and material-handling staff. Own this seat's measurables in the weekly Operations L10 and bring issues forward to be solved. Inventory Health & Production Flow: Manage replenishment so production is never held for a production-critical part, while keeping raw material inventory within its ceiling. Own the data integrity behind inventory planning: Every material movement transacted, cycle counts run on schedule, and NetSuite on-hand matching what is on the shelf. Logistics Execution: Own Logistics: internal material movement, receiving and shipping, freight bill review and cost control, freight-damage claims, and dims and weights accuracy.

Understands that inventory decisions are only as good as the data behind them, and that the seat owns that data. Understands EOS components: One seat, one accountable owner, measurables reviewed weekly. Wants It: Is comfortable being the named, accountable owner for other people's work, including the people-management and reporting side of the seat. This is called out explicitly because the prior holder of this role was excellent at execution and vendor relationships but did not want the people-management side. That should be tested directly in interviews, not assumed. Wants to own a site's materials function end-to-end and be the go-to person on the floor when something is missing. Has the Capacity: Can be on site daily and responsive to production needs. Has the bandwidth for a hands-on data-validation effort in the first 60–90 days before the seat settles into a steady state.
