We’re partnering with a well-established manufacturing operation seeking a floor centric hands on working Materials Manager who operates closest to the production floor — owning material readiness, planning, and inventory execution in a high-mix / low-volume environment.

- Execute MRP within Microsoft Dynamics (Dynamics 365 or Dynamics AX)
- Anticipate material constraints and shortages before they impact production
- Partner closely with production and operations leadership to drive results
- Lead continuous improvement across materials, planning, and inventory processes
- Coach and develop a small materials / planning team (2 direct reports, very hands on)
- Manufacturing-based materials leadership experience (plant-level)
- Strong emphasis on materials planning, inventory management, and MRP
- Hands-on experience using Microsoft Dynamics 365, Dynamics AX, or Microsoft Dynamics in a manufacturing environment
- Demonstrated ability to balance execution with process improvement
If you’re a materials leader who thinks in terms of flow, readiness, and anticipation — and enjoys being closely connected to the production floor — this is a role worth exploring. Client is ready to hire their next plant leader.
