Logistic Inventory Manager Jobs in Arizona (NOW HIRING)

Sr. Inventory Manager

Own the Inventory. Protect the Business. Drive Global Performance.

The Role

At Plexus, inventory is more than products on a shelf; it's the foundation of delivering an exceptional experience to our Brand Ambassadors and customers around the world.

As the Senior Inventory Manager, you will own the global inventory control framework, governance, and performance across our internal distribution network and third-party logistics partners. You'll establish the standards, processes, and discipline that ensure inventory can be trusted, from receiving through fulfillment, transfers, and financial reporting.

This is a highly visible leadership role for someone who thrives on solving complex operational challenges, building scalable processes, and influencing cross-functional teams. You'll partner closely with Supply Chain, Distribution, Finance, Quality, Technology, Buyers, and our global 3PL partners, serving as the organization's subject-matter expert on inventory management and NetSuite.

If you're the type of leader who enjoys rolling up your sleeves, digging into data, identifying root causes, and building better systems that scale, we'd love to meet you.

Employee Value Proposition

This is an opportunity to build and elevate the global inventory management capability of an established gut health company operating across multiple international markets.
