Description

Do you want to be our VP of Supply Chain?

Are you obsessed with customer focus and meeting the end user's needs? Do you feel stifled by bureaucracy? Have an entrepreneurial drive? Do you refuse to let obstacles get in the way of achieving results?

At Autocar, we fight for the driver's needs. We are disrupting the industry by putting the driver's needs first. Every truck we make is custom-engineered, and custom-made, specifically for that customer-no mass production here. Because we engineer trucks differently, we deliver trucks faster than the competition, and they WORK. The truck has more up-time, is more comfortable for the driver, and is safer-40% fewer crashes with injury than the industry average. * For the life of the truck, we have around the clock support.

It takes a special person to be a part of this business. We are privately owned, and our team members act with an owner mindset: Relentless about creating value for the end user. Dogged about finding efficiencies and eliminating waste. Standing arm and arm with the rest of the team until the job is done.

It is not easy do things differently in this industry. But we do it-because we are passionate about improving the lives of the drivers that use our trucks.

Can you manage a supply chain that brings together 2600 parts from multiple suppliers from around the world at exactly the time they are required in order to build the world's toughest vocational trucks? Then this job is for you.

Build a strong team of professionals that can continue to improve supply chain objectives into the future.

Ensure that ERP scheduling is adhere to so that production demand is perfectly matched.

Manage the cashflow timing by reducing cash-to-cash cycle times.

Manage internal warehouse logistics across two manufacturing plants.

Ensure cost targets are met in alignment with strategic objectives.

Support change management.

The Skills you bring to the table:

Proven results in supply chain management in the automotive space.

The ability to build collaborative internal relationships with the procurement and production functions.
