Who We're Looking For
Are you obsessed with staying one step ahead and making the impossible happen for customers?
We're looking for a Supply Chain Manager who thrives on making things move-literally. At Merit Manufacturing, our ability to exceed customer expectations depends on having the right raw materials and components in place, every time. This role is perfect for someone with a sixth sense for anticipating challenges, navigating disruptions, and keeping operations humming.

You'll also analyze gross margin performance by brand and product, and fight for profitability in every negotiation.
This role is about foresight, agility, and unrelenting customer focus.
Lead Our Supply Chain Operations: Manage the procurement and inbound logistics of raw materials and packaging components to ensure production never misses a beat.
Manage a Team of Buyers: Guide, support, and develop a team responsible for creating and tracking supplier purchase orders.
Champion Customer Satisfaction: Work cross-functionally with production and sales teams to stay aligned on timelines and needs. You'll ensure our materials arrive on time and help us always surpass expectations.
Own Supplier Relationships: Build and maintain collaborative, mutually beneficial partnerships with key suppliers-while always protecting our company's interests.
Track and Drive Profitability: Regularly review and report gross margin performance by brand and product. You'll identify cost-saving opportunities and fight for the financial health of the company.
Anticipate and Prevent Disruptions: Identify delays, breakdowns, or risks in the supply chain before they hit. You'll find solutions, expedite materials, and act fast to keep production on track.
Stay Ahead of the Curve: Monitor market trends, anticipate component shortages, and proactively plan so we're never caught off guard.
At Merit, you won't just manage a process-you'll lead a critical function that keeps our promises to our customers.
Are you Qualified?
5+ years of experience in supply chain management, procurement, or materials planning-ideally in the personal care, cosmetics, or consumer goods industry.
Experience managing a procurement team and overseeing vendor relationships.
Strong negotiation skills and a proven ability to balance cost, quality, and timing.
Deep understanding of gross margin analysis and product-level profitability.
Excellent problem-solving instincts and ability to thrive in a fast-paced, customer-driven environment.
