Vice President, Supply Chain

The Company is a private equity-backed semiconductor components business with approximately $75MM in revenue, serving customers in advanced electronics, industrial, communications, aerospace, and related technical markets. The business has built a strong reputation for engineered products, customer responsiveness, and reliability in demanding applications. As customer demand and supply chain complexity increase, the Company is investing in stronger sourcing, planning, inventory management, and supplier performance capabilities to support its next phase of growth. 

The Vice President of Supply Chain will lead all supply chain functions across the organization and serve as a strategic partner to the CEO and executive leadership team.

This individual will be responsible for improving operational scalability, enhancing supplier relationships, strengthening planning processes, and driving overall supply chain performance across a dynamic and increasingly complex operating environment.
