Position Description: Materials Supervisor

The Materials Supervisor is responsible for owning day-to-day materials execution across inventory, warehouse operations, and shipping/receiving for two manufacturing facilities. This role will lead a team of materials personnel while helping design, standardize, and scale material flow processes to support continued growth.

This position is ideal for a hands-on leader who enjoys building structure, improving processes, and using data to drive better decisions — especially in an environment transitioning from manual tools (Google Sheets) to a formal ERP system.

The Materials Supervisor will play a critical role in shaping how materials operations scale as LayerZero continues to grow. The right candidate will have the opportunity to leave a lasting operational footprint and grow alongside the organization.

Primary Duties:

Leadership & Team Development

· Own the performance, engagement, and development of the materials team across both facilities

· Set clear expectations, coach daily performance, and address issues proactively

· Build bench strength through training, cross-training, and standard work

· Foster a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and safety

· Oversee stockroom, supermarket, material handling, and shipping/receiving activities

· Ensure materials are available to support production schedules and customer commitments

· Maintain inventory accuracy through disciplined processes and routine audits

· Coordinate closely with Production, Planning, Procurement, and Engineering

· Develop, document, and maintain standard work for all materials processes

· Implement visual management and operating rhythms to ensure process adherence

· Identify gaps, inefficiencies, and risks in material flow and inventory control

· Lead root cause analysis and corrective actions for shortages, discrepancies, and delays

· Track and analyze key operational indicators using available tools (primarily Google Sheets initially)

· Use data to identify trends, prioritize improvement opportunities, and support decisions

· Lead or support continuous improvement initiatives using lean concepts (Kanban, supermarkets, 5S, etc.)

· Serve as a key participant in ERP preparation, testing, and go-live activities

· Help translate current-state processes into future-state system workflows

· Support team training and adoption during the ERP transition

Skills & Experience:

· 5+ years of experience in materials, inventory, or warehouse operations within a manufacturing environment

· Strong working knowledge of inventory control and material flow concepts

· Comfortable using Excel or Google Sheets for tracking, analysis, and reporting

· Ability to lead through change in a growing, evolving organization

Preferred

· Prior experience leading hourly or frontline teams

· Experience in high-mix or engineered-to-order manufacturing environments

· Exposure to ERP implementations or system transitions

· Lean or continuous improvement experience

What We Offer:
