The ideal candidate is hands-on, understands how planning and purchasing work in a manufacturing environment, and enjoys working closely with planners, buyers, and operations to make the system work better - not just maintain it.

• Lead system reconfiguration efforts to support process improvements and growth
• Ensure data accuracy and integrity across items, BOMs, routings, and vendors
• Support testing, training, and documentation for system changes
• Act as the in-house SyteLine expert for planning and purchasing questions
• Coordinate with IT and external vendors/consultants when needed

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of SyteLine (Infor CSI) experience in a manufacturing environment
• Strong, hands-on expertise in Planning, MRP, and Purchasing
• Experience configuring SyteLine planning and purchasing settings - not just using them
• Solid understanding of manufacturing supply chain fundamentals:
• MRP logic and planning strategies
• Make-to-order / make-to-stock environments
• Lead times, safety stock, and inventory control
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of system outcomes
• Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally on-site

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in a small-to-midsize manufacturing company
• Background in materials management, planning, or purchasing
• Experience with SyteLine upgrades, re-implementations, or major reconfigurations
• Familiarity with APS, forecasting, or demand management in SyteLine
• SQL or SyteLine reporting experience

Why Join Us

• High-impact role with real ownership of the ERP system
• Direct access to decision-makers and operational teams
• Opportunity to shape planning and purchasing processes as the business grows

Stable, long-term position in a collaborative manufacturing environment
