What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Manager, Supply Chain position at Perry Weather?
Senior Manager, Supply Chain
Who We Are
At Perry Weather, we're at the forefront of providing innovative weather safety solutions. Thousands of users trust our fast-growing weather safety platform across various industries, including school districts, cities, universities, golf courses, professional sports and more. Our cutting-edge software and connected hardware empower organizations to make rapid decisions when faced with weather disruptions, ensuring the safety of individuals and the smooth operation of activities/events.
We're looking for a Senior Manager, Supply Chain to build and lead our supply chain function at a critical stage of growth. This is a hands-on leadership role that requires someone who has built supply chain processes before in a fast-moving, high-growth environment.
You will own the full supply chain cycle — from demand planning and procurement through manufacturing and fulfillment — and will be responsible for standing up a formal S&OP process from the ground up. That means leveraging existing foundational tools and processes while developing new ones, ultimately creating a cohesive, repeatable cycle that drives data-backed decision-making across the business.
This role reports directly to the VP of Hardware and manages a team that spans procurement and warehouse/production operations.
