The RoleYou will be responsible for every material that enters Cosmo - what we buy, who we buy it from, what we pay, when it lands, and how much of it sits on our floor. Roughly 15% of our inputs come from Asia and Mexico, so you'll manage international vendors, import logistics, and customs brokers alongside a domestic supply base. You'll report to the EVP and be a core member of the operations leadership team.
What You'll Own Every Day- Materials. Full accountability for all materials used across Cosmo's production - plywood, particleboard, wood moldings, hardware, finishes, and packaging.
- Purchasing. Direct all buying of raw materials and production inputs - negotiate pricing, terms, and delivery commitments that hold up.
- Vendor development. Find, qualify, and develop suppliers who can keep pace with a 1,800-cabinet-a-day operation. Build second sources where we're exposed.
- Imports. Manage international vendors across Asia and Mexico - purchase terms, freight, customs, duties, and the lead-time realities of ocean freight.
- Demand planning. Read the demand plan as it moves and adjust buys accordingly. Not over-bought, not short - balanced.
- Technical acumen. Know the specs of what you're buying - material grades, finishes, hardware tolerances - well enough to challenge a vendor on quality.
- Inventory control. Set and hold inventory targets that account for vendor lead times and demand swings, keeping working capital tight without risking a line stoppage.
- Transportation. Control inbound and outbound trucking - carriers, rates, schedules - so material arrives on time and finished cabinets leave on time.
What You Bring- CPSM certification required.
- A bachelor's degree is a requirement for this position.
- Supply chain leadership experience in woodworking or a downstream wood products field - cabinets, furniture, millwork, or similar. You know the materials, the mills, and the market.
- Hands-on import experience: international sourcing, ocean and land freight, customs, and long-lead-time planning.
- A working command of demand planning and inventory management - you've balanced lead time against demand and been accountable for the result.
- The technical depth to read a spec sheet and hold vendors to it.
- Experience managing inbound and outbound freight and carrier relationships.
Location & TravelThis position is based in our Atlanta office. You'll spend one day a week at our Eatonton plant, about 75 minutes southeast - that's where the cabinets get built, and it's where a supply chain leader earns credibility.
Compensation$150,000-$190,000 base salary, depending on experience, plus benefits. This is a senior leadership seat with direct impact on the cost and reliability of everything we build.
