Big Ass Who? We didn't set out to start a fan company. We set out to solve a problem-workplace discomfort. (Sorry, HR, not your kind.) Facilities become furnaces during the summer, but businesses still expect peak performance and productivity. Without providing the basic human right of comfort, that's just asinine. Seeing how overhead fans cooled California dairy cows begged a massive question for our founder. "Can a fan be made to revolutionize comfort for people?" he uttered. That's when the HVLS Fan Company was born-with the first-ever patented high-volume, low-speed fan. But that name? BOR-ing. And customers knew it. We kept getting calls asking, "Are you the guys who make those big ass fans?" Hell yeah, we are. And Big Ass Fans was born, complete with our own cheeky donkey mascot, Fanny. Today, we don't just move air, we transform experiences. Big Ass Fans deliver comfort where it counts. We build every product like lives depend on it. Because, turns out, they do. Our success is a result of the Big Ass Fans team's innovation. Are you seeking an opportunity to work with extraordinary people with an entrepreneurial spirit? Do you have something that sets you apart from the rest? With a bias for action, we want you to #livelifebigass and bring the next great BAF product to market. From our customers to our employees, we are passionate about what we can accomplish together. The successful candidate will bring passion, energy, and a "get it done" mentality to BAF and the industrial business and contribute in a meaningful way to realize the company's full potential in the market. Opportunity You're the maestro of movement, the architect of flow, the person who knows how to get a product from point A to point Z without breaking a sweat, don't worry we know how to keep you cool if you do! As a Purchasing (Supply Chain) Manager at Big Ass Fans, you'll orchestrate the dance between suppliers, warehouses, trucks and timelines turning chaos into choreography. We're looking for someone who sees supply chains not as a series of tasks, but as a living, breathing system that thrives on smart decisions, bold ideas and a little bit of magic. If you love spreadsheets and strategy, and you get a thrill on seeing the magic played out each day then this is your playground. What You'll Do * Monitor and optimize inventory levels, lead times and fulfillment rates. * Develop and implement supply chain strategies that align with business goals. * Manage the fully supply chain lifecycle for purchase order entry to final delivery. * Collaborate with sales and operations to align with SIOP plan. * Use data analytics to anticipate supply needs and prevent bottlenecks. * Adjust plans dynamically based on customer trends and business changes. * Identify inefficiencies and lead continuous improvement initiatives. * Standardize processes across departments and geographies. * Track KPI's such as stock outs, safety stock, inventory health and DIO/Inventory targets to forecast. * Prepare reports and dashboards for executive leadership. * Lead root cause analysis and corrective action planning. * Represent the Purchasing organization in daily operations updates. * Lead and mentor buyers through daily activities; ensuring adherence to process and supplier management. * Maintain departmental reports (i.e. open orders, vendor on-time delivery, safety stock, customer experience reporting). * Participate in sustaining engineering projects for material depletion. * Utilize ERP to its full potential to ensure best practices are carried out across the purchasing group. * Partner with plant manager to ensure timely delivery of inventory to the line. * Minimize freight costs. What You'll Bring * Bachelor's degree required; supply chain or related field preferred * 3+ years minimum experience preferred * Proven success leading and managing in a supply chain environment * Earn others' trust and respect through consistent honesty and professionalism in all interactions * Work cooperatively with others without regard to level or status to achieve results * Take personal responsibility for the quality and timeliness of work, and achieve results with little oversight * Good communication skills and ability to work in a cross-functional environment * Manage own time, priorities, and resources to achieve goals * Knowledge of and experience using Microsoft Office Think you have what it takes, but your background doesn't perfectly align with this role?
