You will be Focus's primary point of contact with our network of contract manufacturers (CMOs). This is a hands-on individual-contributor role. You will partner closely with the Operations Analyst, who takes physical custody of product the moment it arrives at our warehouse, and you will work directly with the COO and sales team on monthly demand reviews and supplier strategy.

Produce a monthly demand plan and lead a forecast review with the COO. Purchase Order Management Generate purchase orders based on the demand plan and reorder points. Track open POs and expedite where needed to prevent stockouts. Confirm pricing, lead times, and ship dates with suppliers; reconcile PO variances with accounting. Hand off incoming shipment details to the Operations Analyst so receiving is ready. Sourcing & Vendor Management Identify, qualify, and onboard new suppliers and contract manufacturers. Maintain the approved vendor list and supplier scorecards (on-time delivery, quality, price). Assist with negotiating pricing, MOQs, lead times, and payment terms. Serve as the primary point of contact with all contract manufacturers (CMOs) for production planning, PO status, and quality/spec issues.
