WHAT TO EXPECT
The Supply Chain Manager at Coldstream Clear is a key leadership role, one that defines how the business operates, scales, and succeeds. With a focus on continuous improvement, inventory strategy, logistics, warehouse performance, and team development, this role goes beyond execution.

This includes developing inventory management processes, protocols, and practices that ensure appropriate resilience for growth and demand spikes, maintaining a vendor roster, introducing improvements and upgrades, and ensuring alignment with scheduling and logistics.
What sets the right candidate apart is not only what they deliver, how they deliver it: with explicit communication, a collaborative approach, and a solutions-oriented mindset that keeps the business moving forward.
