A supply chain project manager oversees projects that deal with manufacturing operations and raw materials procurement. In this role, you develop plans for the purchase of goods, monitor tasks pertaining to supply issues on behalf of the company, and oversee the implementation of new technologies for inventory management. Many supply chain project managers also negotiate with wholesalers and other suppliers to ensure their company gets the best quality materials at a fair price. You also need to ensure you receive the correct amount of materials you order and examine the quality of the items to make sure they meet company standards.
