At a glance

This role sits at the point where inventory analysis, purchasing execution, and S&OP meet.
You will manage the purchase order lifecycle with contract manufacturers, rebalance inventory across global hubs before excess turns into write-off, and produce the numbers that planning decisions get made on.

Own inventory health across Everpure's global hubs; track position against DOH, turns, and safety stock targets, root-cause imbalances and slow-moving stock, and drive site-to-site balancing before material lands on the E&O report
Run the purchase order lifecycle end to end with contract manufacturers and suppliers: release POs against planning signals, hold suppliers to their commits, expedite and de-expedite as conditions change, and resolve delivery and quantity discrepancies so production is never waiting on parts
Supply the inventory position, risk, and gap analysis that S&OP and monthly inventory reviews are built on, and follow through on the actions those reviews generate
Keep dashboards, ERP records, and reporting accurate enough that Planning, Logistics, and Finance can act on them without re-checking the numbers, including PPV tracking and invoice discrepancy support for Finance
Spot where the process itself is the problem, i.e. recurring data issues, manual steps, gaps between systems, and drive the clean-up

Strong data fluency in Excel and BI tools (pivots, lookups, reconciliation) with the instinct to spot which variance actually matters and chase it to a root cause
Comfort working in an ERP system such as SAP to keep PO dates, quantities, and pricing clean at volume
A working command of core inventory and supply concepts, lead time, safety stock, turns, DOH, E&O
Experience coordinating directly with contract manufacturers and suppliers, and the communication skills to resolve delivery and quantity issues without escalation

Primarily an in-office environment working from the Houston, TX office in compliance with Everpure's policies
Exceptions to in-office work include PTO, work travel, or other approved leave
