Are you ready to take your customer-service and order-management skills to the next level - while being part of a close-knit team with room to grow? A well-established manufacturing company is seeking a motivated Customer Service Manager to support a portfolio of customers and help build the next generation of leadership. What You'll Do Manage around 25-30 customers, focusing especially on the top 5 accounts: handle purchase orders (POs), order entry, order tracking, timeline communications, and overall customer support. Serve as primary contact for a major customer who requires daily attention - ensure clear communication, manage expectations, and handle issues patiently and professionally. Provide guidance to one direct report (customer forecaster), helping coordinate forecasts and production planning. Ensure all administrative tasks related to orders are completed accurately and on time. As you grow into the role, you'll have the opportunity to transition into inside sales, and - down the line - into other paths within the organization as senior staff retire. Who You Are You have 0.5 - 5 years of customer service or inside sales experience - but more importantly, you're a self-starter with a strong work ethic and a desire to grow. Comfortable and confident speaking with customers by phone - even if they're demanding or frustrated. Patience and clear communication are key. Proficient with computers, including PO entry, order entry, and basic production/forecast planning. Experience in manufacturing - preferably discrete manufacturing (e.g., welded components, metal fabrication, furniture parts, industrial products) - is a plus; however, a stable background in another manufacturing area will be considered. Bonus: prior inside sales experience or desire to move into sales, previous supervisory experience, and associate's or bachelor's degree (not required but a plus). Why This Role Is Exciting Small-company atmosphere (≈ 80 total employees; ~20 office staff) with the backing of a larger organization - meaning you'll get autonomy without bureaucracy. Leadership is focused on growth and innovation: this group is looking for “new blood” - energetic, ambitious individuals who want to build a career path, not just fill a seat. Real potential for career advancement: start in customer service - evolve into inside sales, and possibly into broader management roles as leadership retires in the next 2-5 years. Competitive compensation: Base salary $60,000-$80,000 + performance-based bonus. Typical hours: 7:00-4:00 or 8:00-5:00 (full-time, Monday-Friday). If you're energized by customer interaction, order management, and the opportunity to grow into sales and beyond - and you want to help shape the future of a stable, growing manufacturing business - we want to hear from you.
