Supply Chain Coordinator

As Supply Chain Coordinator, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth flow of products into and out of TAC Rockford.

This role will involve a diverse range of responsibilities including purchasing, managing incoming and outgoing shipments, and handling domestic and international shipping logistics.

This isn’t either your ordinary “office” -or- your ordinary “warehouse job.” The workday will involve a combination of office-based and hands-on responsibilities requiring multitasking, attention to detail, organizational skills, and excellent communication skills. You will not be bored.

We don’t anticipate you’ll know a lot about what we do or how we do it: extensive on-the-job training will be an ongoing part of the position. We need someone with the flexibility to handle the unusual and a desire to learn new things. Curiosity and questions are strongly encouraged.

Key Responsibilities

• Process customer orders
• Generate purchase orders
• Verify contents of incoming orders
• Prepare outgoing shipments
• Coordinate with shipping carriers
• Monitor inventory levels
• Collaborate with suppliers, customers, and team members to resolve discrepancies
• Maintain an organized and efficient work environment
• Work to fully understand customer needs
• Anything else that needs to get done (everyone needs to sweep the floor at some point)

Preferred Background/Qualifications

• A problem-solving and organized approach to the day’s challenges
• A strong customer service mindset
• Ability to work independently to complete tasks in a timely manner
• Computer proficiency
• Ability to lift and move products and packages of various sizes and weights
• Excellent organizational and time-management skills
• Effective communication skills: interpersonal, telephone, and written
• An appreciation for all things mechanical
• A positive attitude, a keen eye for detail, and a passion for making people smile
• Curiosity and ability to learn and apply new information quickly (this is super important)

Desirable Qualifications (preferred but not required)

• Prior experience in a similar role
• Familiarity with general office procedures and equipment
• Knowledge of common business documents (purchase orders, quotes, invoices, etc.)
• International awareness and foreign language skills
• QuickBooks accounting software experience
• Bachelor’s or associate degree
