Activate Talent is hiring a Supply Chain Operations Manager

Supply Chain Operations Manager Job Type: Part-Time Location: 100% Remote About the Role We're looking for a senior operations and supply chain resource to own logistics, procurement, and continuous improvement across our operations. This is not a task-based coordination role. I’m looking for someone who can operate with a high level of ownership, identify gaps, and improve how we run. Core responsibilities: - Own day-to-day logistics and 3PL coordination, including scheduling, shipment tracking, and issue resolution - Manage procurement workflows end-to-end, including PO creation, vendor follow-ups, and ensuring on time delivery - Proactively identify risks across supply chain and escalate with proposed solutions, not just problems - Build and maintain trackers, but also improve them over time to increase visibility and efficiency - Lead operational improvements. This includes refining processes, reducing delays, and identifying cost or service level opportunities - Support sourcing and onboarding of new logistics or trucking partners through research, outreach, and coordination - Own month end inventory reconciliation across 3PLs and internal records, including investigating discrepancies and ensuring alignment with accounting What success looks like: - Things do not need to be chased because you are already on top of them - Issues are flagged early with clear recommendations - Processes improve over time without being explicitly assigned - Inventory and operational data are accurate and reliable at month end - The operation becomes more organized and predictable because of your work Requirements: - Strong Excel skills and comfort working with operational data - Experience with ERP systems. Odoo experience is a plus - Excellent written and verbal English. You will be communicating directly with vendors and 3PLs, including calls when needed - Highly proactive with strong ownership mentality - Able to operate independently and make decisions within defined boundaries
