Responsibilities

We make things people actually use, and to do that, our operations teams need accurate data, clean reporting, and someone who knows their way around D365 without breaking into a cold sweat. That’s where you come in.This role sits right in the middle of production, sales, and quality — the person who keeps jobs moving, reports tidy, and paperwork (digital or otherwise) where it should be. If you enjoy making sense of transactions, solving small mysteries, and catching errors before they become “issues,” you’ll fit right in.

The Role

You’ll handle the day‑to‑day operational transactions that keep our production lines and reporting running smoothly. Think job movements, receipts, reports, and a healthy amount of “making sure things match.” You’ll also work closely with operations, sales, and quality teams to resolve discrepancies — and keep everyone honest about data accuracy.

Key Responsibilities

• Run job movements, issues, and receipts accurately in D365.
• Manage and update sales reports (the ones people actually read).
• Print and prep production orders.
• Process Defective Notes without breaking a sweat.
• Keep digital DGAs organized and up to date.
• Maintain the scrap report so we always know where we stand.
• Protect data integrity and follow internal controls.
• Team up with operations, quality, and sales to solve problems and clear roadblocks.

 

 

Qualifications

About You

• You’ve used Microsoft Dynamics 365 before, or you’re comfortable picking it up quickly.
• Detail‑oriented — you notice things other people miss.
• You understand how manufacturing or operations work (at least the basics).
• You can juggle multiple tasks without dropping them.
• Strong Excel skills and comfortable with reporting.
• Communicative, organized, and not easily flustered.

Nice to Have

• Experience in a production or quality‑focused environment.
• A knack for spotting inconsistencies and asking the right questions.

What You’ll Get

A steady, hands‑on role supporting teams that genuinely rely on you. You’ll work with people who appreciate accuracy, clear communication, and someone who keeps things moving. Plus, you’ll have access to standard company benefits, development opportunities, and the chance to become the go‑to person for all things D365 and reporting.
