Job description

Inventory and Operations Process Leader
Sciton is a Silicon Valley based pioneer in laser, light, and energy technologies for aesthetic and medical applications. Our engineers helped bring laser products to market just a few years after lasers were first invented, and that same spirit of innovation still drives us today.
We are built on a strong set of values: Selflessness, Candor, Innovation, Execution, Objectivity, Excellence, Learning, Ownership, and Clarity. With more than 500 employees worldwide, Sciton has been recognized as a USA TODAY Top Workplace for three consecutive years from 2022 to 2025.
If you want to work on meaningful technology that directly improves patient outcomes and be part of a company that values curiosity, ownership, and excellence, we would love to meet you.
Position Summary
We are seeking a dynamic individual to drive world-class inventory and operations processes, streamline business operations, and support an efficient and compliant operations infrastructure.
This role is critical for enhancing our inventory and operations processes, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and compliance. The ideal candidate will bring a wealth of experience, strong leadership, and a proactive approach to streamline and optimize our business operations.
This role includes people management responsibility for our Material Handler team. To support a strong onboarding experience, Material Handlers will initially maintain a dotted-line relationship to this position, with full direct management transitioning once the new leader is established in the role.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Leadership in Operations amp; Inventory: Lead inventory control and operational improvement initiatives across the organization, driving accuracy, efficiency, and process discipline.
  • Inventory Cycle Counting: Develop and manage cycle count programs using industry best practices and enabling technologies (e.g., barcoding) to improve inventory accuracy and reduce reliance on full physical inventory counts.
  • Bill of Material (BOM) Integrity: Oversee ongoing audit and correction of BOMs, with focus on high-volume products, to eliminate inventory discrepancies (including negative inventory) and support accurate cost accounting.
  • Inventory Risk Mitigation: Identify and close process gaps within BOMs and operational workflows to ensure compliance and reduce inventory errors caused by manual or procedural issues.
  • Quarterly Physical Inventory: Lead quarterly physical inventory activities, including planning, execution, reconciliation, and continuous process improvement to reduce variances and improve cycle efficiency.
  • Direct COGS Accuracy: Analyze and improve Direct Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) accuracy through collaboration with Accounting and Operations.
  • Material Requirements Planning (MRP): Partner with Purchasing and Operations leadership to optimize and improve the effectiveness of the MRP system.
  • Inventory Cost Optimization: Collaborate cross-functionally with Operations, Accounting, and Purchasing to reduce total inventory costs, manage excess and obsolete inventory, and support accurate financial reporting (including scrap, salvage, reserves, and accruals).
  • Infor SyteLine Expertise: Serve as a subject matter expert in Infor SyteLine to improve data integrity, reporting, and inventory-related system processes supporting COGS and operational performance.
  • Scout (MES) Platform Enhancement: Support and enhance the internal Scout (MES) platform by identifying and implementing workflow and process improvements that increase manufacturing efficiency and usability.
Essential Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain, Operations Management, Accounting, Engineering, or a related field.
  • 7+ years of experience in inventory management, manufacturing operations, supply chain, or a related discipline; medical device industry experience preferred.
  • Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel and data analysis.
  • Experience working with ERP and MRP systems.
  • Willingness to work additional hours during peak business periods, including quarterly physical inventory activities, to ensure timely completion of counts and reconciliations.
Key Qualifications:
  • Proven leadership experience in inventory management and operational environments.
  • Strong understanding of Bills of Materials (BOMs), inventory transactions, and manufacturing processes.
  • Experience utilizing ERP systems, preferably Infor SyteLine, for reporting, analysis, and process improvement.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
  • Strong organizational and project management abilities.
  • Effective communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
  • Ability to identify opportunities for process improvement and drive change across the organization.
Compensation and Benefits
The compensation range for this position is $130k - $150k annually, with final compensation determined based on experience, qualifications, and overall fit for the role. In addition to a competitive market-based salary, Sciton provides an opportunity to participate in equity/stock incentive programs, a profit-sharing bonus, and a comprehensive benefits package, including 401(K) with matching
