Join Riverbend Energetics — a specialized 150-person defense contractor — as a Material/Inventory Analyst supporting critical U.S. defense programs from our Supply Chain team. If you're a data-driven supply chain professional who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, this is your opportunity to make a visible, meaningful impact at a company where your work directly supports national defense.
What you'll do:
- Leverage ERP systems and advanced Excel skills to analyze inventory data, forecast material needs, and deliver actionable supply chain insights
- Develop and execute material plans aligned with production schedules, coordinating with procurement to ensure on-time supplier delivery
- Monitor and control inventory levels to minimize costs while protecting production continuity
- Proactively identify and resolve supply chain disruptions — shortages, delays, and bottlenecks — before they impact program schedules
- Collaborate cross-functionally with procurement, manufacturing, logistics, and program management teams to keep operations aligned
What you'll bring: A bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business, Industrial Engineering, or a related field, plus 3 years of experience in materials management or inventory control. Strong ERP proficiency, advanced Excel skills, and the ability to translate complex data into clear recommendations are essential. Experience with Deltek Costpoint or a defense/aerospace manufacturing environment is a plus. APICS CPIM or CSCP certification is preferred. Candidates must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents; the role may require a security clearance. Local candidates preferred — no relocation assistance available.
