Drive adoption of ERP (QAD) and related digital tools to unlock efficiency, accuracy, agility, and better decision-making.
Deliver measurable cost savings through supplier negotiations, value analysis, and smarter purchasing strategies — with a focus on reducing lead times.

A collaborative, strategic leader who can influence across functions and represent supply chain in customer-facing settings.
Why Join Us
Play a central role in scaling one of the most important supply chain operations in the KDC/one network.
Lead a team managing over $120M in annual spend across raw materials and packaging.

Join a culture that values transformation, agility, and continuous improvement.
Hybrid on-site model: 4 days per week required in Year 1, with potential adjustment to 3 days per week thereafter.
