Supply Chain & Logistics Manager

Supply Chain & Logistics Manager

Department: Aeris

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Hayward, CA

Compensation: $85,000 - $100,000 / year

Aeris Technologies is a leading manufacturer of laser gas analyzers serving critical applications in environmental monitoring, industrial process control, and emissions measurement. As part of the Project Canary family since 2022, we combine innovative optical sensing technology with precision manufacturing to deliver industry‑leading analytical instruments. We’re currently executing a comprehensive transformation to strengthen our operational foundation and accelerate growth.

We’re building the next phase of our manufacturing engine, and supply chain is the lever. We’re hiring a Supply Chain & Logistics Manager to own the systems, partners, and operating rhythm that keep parts and finished devices moving fast and predictably.

This role will have high autonomy and high visibility across Engineering, Production, and Finance. You’ll take what’s currently a mix of tribal knowledge and heroics and turn it into repeatable, scalable workflows in Net Suite, while keeping shipping, receiving, and international logistics running smoothly.

• Inventory accuracy improves (cycle counts run on cadence; discrepancies get resolved at the root cause)
• Fewer shortages and fewer expedites (planning + supplier follow-through gets tighter)
• International shipping becomes predictable (docs right, fewer holds, fewer surprises)
• Clear metrics exist and get used (inventory turns, OTIF, lead times, supplier performance)
• Net Suite data gets cleaner (item master/BOM governance and transaction discipline)
• Supply chain costs become more planned and controlled (fewer “only option is expedited” moments)

• Build and run a cycle count program (cadence, process, training, reconciliation) and drive root‑cause corrective actions
• Own inventory accuracy across raw materials, WIP, and finished goods; set targets and make progress visible
• Create and maintain inventory segmentation (ABC, consumption patterns) and stocking policies (min/max, reorder points)
• Own item master and BOM accuracy in Net Suite; partner with Engineering and Production to keep data clean through ECOs and build changes
• Establish and maintain SOPs for inventory transactions and controls (receiving, issuing, adjustments, transfers)

• Turn demand signals (sales pipeline + customer commitments + production plan) into a practical supply plan
• Own MRP inputs/parameters and material readiness to reduce shortages and last‑minute expedites
• Own the PO lifecycle end‑to‑end (create, confirm, follow up, receive/reconcile in Net Suite; support invoice matching as needed)
• Manage supplier relationships for optical components, electronics, and mechanical parts
• Negotiate pricing, lead times, and terms; define supplier KPIs; run regular business reviews
• Build supply continuity plans for critical parts (alternates, second sources, buffering strategy, escalation playbooks)

• Own the supply chain and logistics budget for your scope (materials planning inputs, freight/3PL spend, duties/fees where applicable, and expedite spend) in partnership with Finance
• Build and maintain a cost forecast and monthly variance view (actuals vs plan) and recommend corrective actions
• Set guardrails for expedites (what triggers an expedite, who approves, and how it’s tracked) and drive reduction through better planning and supplier management
• Identify and execute cost‑reduction opportunities (lane optimization, packaging improvements, MOQ/price breaks, supplier consolidation where appropriate) without creating downstream risk

• Own logistics operations and partner performance (3PLs, freight forwarders, customs brokers)
• Define shipping lanes and service levels; reduce cost and lead time while protecting customer delivery performance
• Own international shipment documentation workflows (commercial invoices, broker handoffs, Incoterms alignment, tracking, and exception resolution)
