At Senra Systems, we believe that the future of manufacturing lies not in automation, but in configuration.

We supercharge electrical wire harness manufacturing through software configuration, transforming skilled assembly tasks into high-throughput production lines. We enable customers to design what they want, when they want it and deliver harness builds at record-breaking speed.

Role Overview:

Senra is building a modern, scalable, software-enabled supply chain to support rapid growth across two sites. The Head of Supply Chain will define end-to-end processes, lead procurement and materials management functions, partner with internal Product & Software teams to encode workflows into our enterprise system, and build a high-performance organization that keeps product flowing and customers supported.

You’ll own all aspects of supply chain across both sites—material planning, procurement, shipping & receiving, inventory, and production coordination, with a mandate to build a high-accountability, high-performing organization that delivers both precision and scale.

The ideal candidate is a builder who can design clean processes, implement systems, set & uphold high standards, and develop a disciplined and accountable team.

• Partner with Product/Software to encode supply chain workflows into a simple, reliable enterprise system.
• Establish planning logic, min/max, safety stock, and S&OP materials rhythms.
• Align planning BOM, procurement BOM, and mBOM with Manufacturing Engineering.

Materials Management

• Direct receiving, inventory, kitting, production coordination, and shipping.
• Strengthen all materials workflows to ensure fast, accurate, compliant movement of parts.
• Implement best practices in inventory accuracy, cycle counting, traceability, and kit completeness.

• Track KPIs: inventory accuracy, receiving-to-stock time, kit completeness, shipping performance.

Leadership & Performance Management

• Build and develop a high-accountability team across procurement, planning, and materials.
• Set clear SLAs and metrics for responsiveness, accuracy, and throughput.
• Create a culture of urgency, ownership, and operational excellence.
• Develop and coach direct reports as the operation continues to scale.
• Drive continuous improvement and cross-functional alignment with Production, Engineering, Quality, and Finance.

Strategic & Financial Leadership

• Lead sourcing strategy, supply chain risk management, and long-term supplier partnerships.
• Support margin improvement through cost reduction, optimized order quantities, and waste reduction.
• Build a planning and forecasting approach that balances working capital with production continuity.
• Partner with Finance and Manufacturing to perform annual materials audits.
