Job description

Title: Production Control Manager (Manufacturing | Inventory + Production Flow)
Location: Braselton, GA 30517 (On-site)
Type: Full-time | Benefits


Build the engine that keeps production moving.

If you’re the kind of leader who loves turning complexity into a clean, reliable process—and you take pride in getting the right material to the floor at the right time—this role is a chance to grow your manufacturing leadership while making a visible impact every day.

As our Production Control Manager for the sports production division, you’ll own the flow of materials and production orders that keep schedules on track, customers satisfied, and inventory accurate. You’ll lead a small team, partner cross-functionally (Manufacturing, Supply Chain, IT, DC, Accounting, Customer Support), and become a go-to operator for how work gets done.


What You’ll Own (and get better at fast)

Production & Materials Control

  • Ensure timely movement of materials to manufacturing while maintaining strong inventory accuracy
  • Process and manage order types including WO, WC (custom), and SI to maintain current ATP dates
  • Print and manage production orders based on priority, ATP reports, and inventory availability
  • Resolve backorder situations by adjusting request dates/shipment numbers and escalating where needed

Inventory Accuracy & Controls

  • Maintain accurate inventory between JD Edwards and physical on-hand counts
  • Reconcile discrepancies between physical and system quantities
  • Maintain secure inventory practices and internal controls to protect against loss/theft
  • Ensure in-process inventory accuracy, including scrap documentation and related procedures

Team Leadership

  • Recruit, interview, hire, and train employees
  • Direct day-to-day workflow in the raw material area and Golf Production Admin
  • Provide coaching, timely feedback, performance evaluations, and accountability as needed

Custom Order Execution

  • Print/process custom work orders and qualify orders based on specifications and BOM
  • Make parts substitutions when required (tip cutting, stepping, frequency)
  • Expedite custom orders when business priority demands it

Continuous Communication & Collaboration

  • Build strong working relationships across internal teams to improve speed, accuracy, and service
  • Attend and contribute to biweekly supply chain meetings
  • Maintain quality expectations and support production schedule requirements

What Success Looks Like

  • Materials hit the floor on time with minimal disruption
  • Inventory is accurate, controlled, and audit-ready
  • The production schedule is supported with clear prioritization and clean order flow
  • Your team is organized, trained, and improving—because you lead with structure and urgency


What We’re Looking For

Experience & education

  • 3–5 years of related experience (manufacturing / production control / materials / inventory)
  • Minimum 3 years of managerial experience (or strong lead experience with clear ownership)
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent technical training + relevant experience

Skills that matter here

  • Strong leadership, delegation, and prioritization in a fast-paced environment
  • Analytical problem-solving with high attention to detail
  • Excellent communication across operations and support functions
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and comfort working in JD Edwards (or similar ERP)


Work Environment & Physical Requirements

  • On-site in a production environment (machinery noise; exposure to chemicals)
  • Standing/walking at times; desk/computer work at times
  • Lift up to 30 lbs occasionally
  • Flexible schedule based on business needs; limited travel possible


Why this role is a great move

  • High-visibility operations leadership: your work directly impacts output, quality, and customer satisfaction
  • Skill expansion: deepen ERP/inventory controls, production prioritization, and cross-functional leadership
  • Team ownership: lead, develop, and improve a critical function—not just “manage a list”

Ready to lead production flow and level up your ops leadership?

Apply today through ZipRecruiter. If you’ve got the drive to run clean processes, lead people well, and keep manufacturing moving—this is your seat at the table.
