Full Job Description
Core Responsibilities

As Operations Manager, you run end-to-end execution for order fulfillment at our Stockton site and ensure customers get accurate, on-time shipments. You lead cross-functional teams and own the Sage environment used to manage demand, materials, and inventory.

Key responsibilities:
- Lead Customer Service, Purchasing, Production, Stockroom, and Document Control through the full order cycle
- Own Sage transactions and controls: order entry, MRP, work orders, and inventory movements
- Drive performance on on-time delivery, paperwork accuracy, and inventory accuracy
- Maintain disciplined processes aligned to ISO 9001 and ISO 13485

Required qualifications:

- ERP systems expertise; Sage preferred
- Strong Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook skills
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience

Apply if you can take ownership, tighten execution, and deliver predictable results.
How Your Day Runs

You start by reviewing new customer POs and priorities, then confirm clean order entry in Sage before releasing sales orders and work orders. Midday is spent validating MRP signals, clearing material constraints with Purchasing, and making sure kitting packets are ready for the stockroom. You check floor status with Production, verify document readiness with Document Control, and resolve any exceptions that could impact ship dates. Late afternoon, you review shipments and invoicing flow, reconcile key inventory transactions, and close out open items so the next day starts with a controlled backlog and clear commitments.
What You Get

- Competitive salary ($135,000-$165,000)
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Life insurance
- 401(k)
