Why This Role Stands Out
This isn’t just another procurement job — it’s a high-visibility leadership role where you’ll oversee multimillion-dollar sourcing strategies, lead a talented team, and drive measurable cost savings while ensuring supply security and operational efficiency. If you thrive in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and love turning procurement strategy into tangible results, this position is for you.
Position Overview
Reporting directly to the Plant Manager, the Procurement Operations Manager will lead the plant’s Procurement and Supply Chain team in Denville, NJ. This role is responsible for implementing and executing procurement strategies that ensure security of supply, cost savings, process optimization, and supplier risk mitigation — all while maintaining compliance with corporate and regulatory requirements. You’ll collaborate with operations, engineering, quality, and finance to align procurement strategies with both plant and business unit objectives.
Key Responsibilities
Lead all plant procurement operations, including direct, indirect, and capital spend.
Provide leadership, guidance, and career development for Procurement Specialists and Supply Chain Planners.
Partner with stakeholders across the organization to ensure procurement strategies align with plant and business unit goals.
Establish and track savings targets for plant-specific spend.
Manage supplier sourcing, negotiations, contract development, and execution.
Monitor supplier performance and take corrective action as needed.
Review procurement metrics and act to meet performance targets.
Ensure compliance with all auditing and quality standards (AS9100, customer audits, regulatory requirements).
Oversee Oracle procurement processes, including system enhancements.
Manage raw material forecasting, inventory control, cost management, and resolution of BOM-related issues.
Maintain inventory accuracy through transactional oversight and cycle count programs.
Lead project teams and plant procurement initiatives.
Successfully balance competing priorities in a high-demand manufacturing environment.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain, Logistics, IT, Finance, Accounting, Data Analytics, Marketing, Economics, Mathematics, Engineering, or related field.
6+ years’ experience in Procurement or Supply Chain.
Knowledge of procurement and financial compliance, including Sarbanes-Oxley, UCC laws, and import/export regulations.
U.S. person status as defined by ITAR (U.S. Citizen, U.S. Permanent Resident, Political Asylee, or Refugee).
Authorized to work in the United States (no visa sponsorship available).
Preferred Qualifications
Procurement experience in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
