Supply Chain Director

Job description

Park Capital Search has been retained to identify a Director of Supply Chain on behalf of a confidential client — a rapidly growing physical security and remote video monitoring company headquartered in Atlanta, GA.

THE OPPORTUNITY

This is a rare, ground-floor opportunity to build and lead the end-to-end supply chain function for a rapidly scaling security and remote monitoring provider. Reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer, the Director of Supply Chain will own demand planning, procurement, vendor management, inventory strategy, warehousing, logistics, equipment availability, asset controls, and returns/RMA processes — ensuring the right equipment is available, configured, and delivered to the right location at the right time. This role is critical to the company’s ability to scale nationwide deployments efficiently while minimizing excess inventory, project delays, expedited freight, equipment shortages, and working-capital requirements.

KEY INITIATIVES

Establish clear visibility into company-wide inventory and material commitments

Implement a dependable demand-planning and forecasting process

Create measurable supplier-performance standards

Improve inventory accuracy and material availability

Reduce emergency purchases and expedited shipping

Establish appropriate safety-stock and reorder-point methodologies

Improve project material-readiness rates

Reduce inventory aging and obsolete inventory

Improve coordination among Supply Chain, Project Management, Field Operations, and Provisioning

Develop an executive supply-chain scorecard

Build a supply-chain organization capable of supporting the company’s continued nationwide growth

WHO YOU ARE

The ideal candidate for this role is a strategic yet hands-on supply chain leader with 8+ years of progressive experience in supply chain, procurement, inventory management, logistics, or operations, including 3+ years leading a supply-chain or procurement team. You combine strong analytical, negotiation, and financial-management skills with a bias toward execution — someone who takes ownership of outcomes, builds disciplined and repeatable processes, uses data to anticipate constraints, and works effectively across Sales, Finance, Operations, Engineering, Project Management, and Field Operations. Experience within electronic security, CCTV/video surveillance, remote video monitoring, access control, or related technology-hardware industries is highly desirable.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Develop and execute the company’s overall supply-chain strategy to support company growth, customer deployments, and recurring-revenue activation

Build a demand-planning process that incorporates sales pipeline, contracted project backlog, installation schedules, lead times, and safety-stock requirements

Lead sourcing and procurement of cameras, networking equipment, servers, mounting hardware, and other technology required for customer deployments; negotiate pricing, freight terms, and vendor service levels

Partner with Project Management and Field Operations to ensure equipment is available and ready before scheduled installations

Oversee receiving, storage, fulfillment, shipping, and warehouse operations, optimizing for cost, speed, and reliability

Partner with Provisioning and Technical Operations to ensure equipment moves efficiently from inventory through configuration and deployment

Develop and manage efficient processes for defective equipment, warranty replacements, vendor RMAs, and customer returns

Ensure supply-chain systems provide accurate, timely visibility into inventory, purchase orders, and material shortages, and build dashboards for executive leadership

Manage supply-chain operating expenses and inventory investment, partnering with Finance to optimize working capital and inventory turns

Establish and continuously improve KPIs including material readiness rate, supplier on-time delivery, inventory accuracy, inventory turns, and forecast accuracy

QUALIFICATIONS

8+ years of progressive experience in supply chain, procurement, inventory management, logistics, or operations

3+ years of leadership experience managing supply-chain or procurement teams
