## Description

🤖 Ready to build the supply chain powering the future of edge AI? 🤖

At AI-Blox, we design and build high-performance, modular hardware for edge AI applications. As we scale, supply chain excellence becomes mission-critical to deliver innovative products reliably and efficiently.

That’s why we’re looking for a **Supply Chain Manager** to own and optimize our end-to-end supply chain operations — from demand planning and procurement to inventory management, supplier performance, and production readiness.

You’ll play a key role in ensuring our teams have the right materials, at the right time, in the right quantity and quality — enabling AI-Blox to scale production and bring cutting-edge hardware solutions to market.

### Your Mission

-   Own the end-to-end supply chain for electronic and hardware components — from sourcing to delivery
-   Select, negotiate, and develop suppliers, building long-term partnerships that ensure quality, competitiveness, and continuity
-   Place and oversee purchase orders, keeping purchasing, stock, and supplier data accurate in our ERP
-   Run MRP processes to keep material availability aligned with production planning at all times
-   Collaborate with Sales to translate demand forecasts into procurement decisions
-   Define inventory policies — safety stock, reorder points, min/max levels — balancing availability and working capital
-   Anticipate and manage long lead time components through forward-buying, buffers, and component standardisation with Engineering
-   Drive cost reduction initiatives and track total cost of ownership across the supply base
-   Control all logistics flows — inbound, outbound, and intra-company — managing 3PLs, freight forwarders, and customs compliance
-   Build supply chain dashboards and reporting to provide full visibility to leadership
-   Ensure quality compliance, structured documentation, and robust internal processes
