- 3PL & Logistics Coordination: Manage relationships with 3PL partners in California and Hong Kong; monitor freight performance, costs, and delivery reliability.
- Quality & Compliance: Maintain ISO documentation, spearhead corrective actions, and ensure compliance with industry standards, trade regulations, and company policies.
- Data & Reporting: Track KPIs (OTD, inventory turns, order cycle time, RMA rate), analyze root causes, and present actionable insights to leadership.
- Team Development: Coach and develop staff across operations, procurement, warehouse, and customer service to foster accountability and continuous improvement.
- AI & Automation Initiatives: Identify and pilot RPA/AI opportunities (e.g., automated quoting, demand forecasting) to reduce manual touches and boost scalability.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as the bridge between operations, sales, marketing, and finance to ensure alignment with company objectives and customer commitments.
What We’re Looking For:
- Experience: 5+ years in operations management, supply chain, or logistics, ideally within the electronics or industrial components industry.
- Leadership: Proven experience managing cross-functional teams with an ability to lead through influence and direct management.
- Operational Expertise: Deep knowledge of order processing, procurement, supplier negotiation, inventory management, and logistics.
- Tools: Proficient with QuickBooks Enterprise or similar ERP systems; familiarity with order management and shipping software.
- Analytical Skills: Strong Excel/Sheets and BI tool proficiency; ability to turn data into process improvements and cost savings.
- Problem-Solving: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a proactive, solutions-oriented approach.
- Communication: Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to collaborate across global teams and vendors.
- Adaptability: Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities.
- Bonus Points: Six Sigma Green Belt, experience deploying RPA/AI automations, or background in magnetic components/electronics.
