Leading the supply chain team as part of MachineQ Operations, the Senior Manager will be responsible for all activities, processes, resources and third-party suppliers involved in the procurement, production, inventorying, distribution, and return of MachineQ hardware and related products.
This position will also contribute meaningfully to comprehensive operational process improvement, expanding the capabilities and reach of the team by overhauling existing workflows, and implementing new tools and procedures with scalability as a core focus.

This position requires a creative, autonomous and self-starter approach to driving organizational growth. Critical thinking and attention to detail, a willingness to challenge the status quo, and experience with business process improvement in a fast-paced environment are all key requirements for success.
An extremely keen attention to detail, and an ability to manage large volumes of information from disparate systems and sources, are essential requirements.
