Job Description:

The Role:

We're looking for an Order Management Specialist to own the purchase order lifecycle for hardware products. This role is the centralized point of accountability for all open orders across our supplier and retailer footprint - making sure POs accurately reflect our forecast, obligations are tracked, and orders are closed when they should be.
This is a hands-on role. You'll translate SKU-level cost and forecast data into purchase orders, manage mid-quarter adjustments, maintain visibility into inventory positioning and vendor performance, and manage our retail PO book, ensuring we have sufficient inventory on hand relative to other obligations and tracking retailer-owned inventory before approving the POs.
You'll also lead an immediate cleanup of our open PO backlog to free up committed funds.
The role sits within our SDM team, which owns the MPS (Master Production Schedule) and is driving PO automation.
You'll work closely with that automation effort - helping define requirements and transitioning tactical PO entry to automated weekly POs over time.

You will:

Own end-to-end purchase order management across the hardware supplier base and retail channel
Translate dollar costs by SKU into purchase orders based on forecast and MPS
Manage mid-quarter order adjustments as forecasts and volumes shift
Track POs received from retailers and collaborate closely with supply planners to recommend approval based on our and the retailers inventory positions
Audit and clean up open POs dating back to 2024 - 2025, while establishing a process to prevent backlog from recurring
Maintain a centralized view of all open orders, inventory positioning, and supplier commitments
Flag risks: orders tying up funds, suppliers shipping against stale POs, forecast misalignment
Partner with Hardware Business Systems (HBS) and SDM teams on PO automation (transition to weekly POs)
Identify manual processes that should be systematized or eliminated
Contribute to Oracle ERP process improvements, Automated reporting, and access provisioning)

You have:

3 to 5 years in order management, procurement operations, or supply chain planning
Experience managing purchase orders in an ERP system, Oracle preferred, SAP or similar acceptable)
Strong understanding of PO lifecycle: creation, modification, receipt, closure, reconciliation
Comfortable working with forecast data and translating demand signals into orders
Detail-oriented with the ability to manage a high volume of SKUs and suppliers simultaneously
Experience with supplier communication and order reconciliation
Proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets for data analysis and reporting
Excellent communication skills and ability to work across supply chain, finance, and operations teams
