Supply Chain Manager
ML6 Search + Talent AdvisoryThe Opportunity: We are partnering with a highly successful, rapidly scaling North American aviation services, environmental remediation, and manufacturing conglomerate to find a Senior Supply Chain Manager. Operating across more than 60 airports and ramping up to 5,500 employees seasonally, our client is undergoing a massive transformation. They are shifting from a historically decentralized, reactive procurement model to a highly strategic, centralized national supply chain. This is a unique opportunity for a dynamic leader to drive vendor consolidation, establish enterprise-wide inventory controls, guide an upcoming Workday ERP implementation, and play a pivotal role in an organization aiming to double its size over the next five years. What You'll Be Doing: Lead the strategic shift from decentralized, day-to-day order auditing to a centralized, enterprise-wide strategic sourcing model. Manage, mentor, and develop a team of four supply chain professionals, actively coaching them to transition into strategic procurement mindsets. Establish lead times, reorder points, and optimal inventory levels across numerous dynamic, cross-border locations to ensure robust inventory control. Source specialized equipment and parts for capital-intensive manufacturing, vehicle refurbishing, and fleet/facilities maintenance programs. Consolidate vendors and negotiate optimal enterprise-wide contracts, managing freight logistics and international sourcing (including US and China). Partner with executive leadership to evaluate past performance, restructure processes, and successfully transition the organization to a new Workday ERP system. What You'll Need to Be Successful: 10+ years of progressive supply chain experience within a large, multi-location enterprise, including at least 5 years in a senior leadership capacity. Proven track record of transforming supply chain operations, with a strong emphasis on vendor negotiation and strategic, centralized sourcing. Broad operational background navigating complex, capital-intensive industries (such as heavy equipment, industrial engineering, or manufacturing). Demonstrated people leadership skills with a passion for coaching and elevating team performance rather than just maintaining established systems. Exceptional problem-solving abilities to thrive in an ambiguous environment and build scalable structures from the ground up. Compensation Range: $140,000 - $160,000
