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.
