Current positions in the electrical industry

Head of Supply Chain & Logistics
Location: Texas, Illinois, Georgia, or North Carolina (Final location TBD)

Are you ready to build a world-class supply chain from the ground up?

This is a rare opportunity to become the founding Supply Chain & Logistics leader for a brand-new cable manufacturing facility. You’ll have the opportunity to design, implement, and lead every aspect of the supply chain—from strategic sourcing of raw materials through production planning, warehousing, logistics, and customer delivery. This is joining a $1B global electrical component manufacturer who is building a new low voltage wire & cable plant.

If you’ve successfully built supply chain operations in a startup, greenfield, or major plant expansion environment and enjoy creating processes where none exist, this is your chance to leave a lasting impact.

Salary: Open for the right candidate – base + bonus with benefits and relocation available

What You’ll Do

As Head of Supply Chain & Logistics, you will build and lead the complete supply chain organization, including:

• Develop and execute the end-to-end supply chain strategy for a new manufacturing operation.
• Build procurement processes, purchasing systems, SOPs, and approval workflows.
• Establish a reliable supplier network for key raw materials including copper rod, stranded copper, PVC, PE, and other cable manufacturing materials.
• Negotiate long-term supplier agreements that balance cost, quality, delivery, and commodity price risk.
• Lead supplier qualification, onboarding, and performance management programs.
• Implement ERP/MRP procurement and planning modules while developing material and vendor master data.
• Develop demand planning, material planning, inventory management, and production scheduling processes.
• Build warehouse operations, inventory controls, shipping, and logistics functions.
• Create customer service processes supporting order management, shipment scheduling, expediting, and customer satisfaction.
• Develop risk mitigation strategies through multi-source supply networks to ensure uninterrupted production.
• Partner closely with manufacturing, engineering, finance, and operations to support a successful plant launch and future growth.

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years of progressive supply chain, procurement, logistics, or operations leadership within manufacturing.
• Experience launching a greenfield facility, startup operation, or major plant expansion preferred.
• Strong background in cable, wire & cable manufacturing, copper products, plastics, extrusion, wire drawing, or related manufacturing industries.
• Deep knowledge of procurement, production planning, inventory management, warehousing, and logistics.
• Demonstrated success negotiating high-value commodity contracts.
• Experience implementing or leading ERP/MRP systems such as SAP, Epicor, Oracle, Advaris, or similar.
• Proven ability to build teams, processes, and scalable systems in fast-moving environments.
• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, Business, or related discipline; CPSM, CPP, APICS/ASCM, or similar certifications are a plus.

What Makes You Successful

• Strategic thinker who enjoys building organizations from the ground up.
• Strong business and operational acumen.
• Excellent communication and leadership skills.
• Analytical, data-driven decision maker.
• Agile, adaptable, and comfortable working in ambiguity.
• Skilled at balancing long-term strategy with day-to-day execution.
• Collaborative leader who thrives in cross-functional environments.

Why This Opportunity?

This isn’t simply another supply chain leadership position—it’s an opportunity to create the foundation of an entirely new manufacturing operation. You’ll shape supplier partnerships, implement world-class systems, hire and develop your team, and play a critical role in launching a state-of-the-art cable manufacturing facility that will support the company’s long-term growth.
