Associate Supply Chain Project Manager - New York, NY (Hybrid/Remote)

Role Overview

We are seeking an analytical and detail-oriented Associate Supply Chain Project Manager to support cross-functional supply chain initiatives across logistics, procurement, warehousing, systems, and commercial operations.

This role will work closely with senior leaders and project owners to help coordinate timelines, track milestones, organize data, and maintain visibility across multiple workstreams. The Associate will support project structure and reporting while building a strong foundation in supply chain operations and project execution.

This is an active, hands-on role ideal for an early-career professional who is comfortable working with data, asking thoughtful questions, and learning to manage initiatives from planning through implementation in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Key Responsibilities

Program & Project Execution

• End-to-end delivery of multi-workstream supply chain initiatives (logistics optimization, network design, vendor consolidation, inventory alignment, systems rollout, compliance readiness).

• Translate strategic objectives into executable project plans, timelines, dependencies, and milestones.

• Proactively identify risks, blockers, and interdependencies across functions and regions; drive resolution without escalation where possible.

Cross-Functional & Global Coordination

• Act as the central coordination point between Supply Chain, Operations, Finance, Legal, Procurement, IT, and Commercial teams.

• Prepare executive-level updates that are concise, data-backed, and decision-oriented (no filler).

Analytics & Decision Support

• Work directly with data sets related to inventory, lead times, MOQs, pallet locations, inbound/outbound flows, and cost drivers.

• Support development and maintenance of dashboards, scorecards, and KPI tracking (vendor scoreboards, pallet utilization, service levels, cost leakage).

• Validate assumptions and outputs used in financial models, sourcing decisions, and operational trade-offs.

Vendor & Partner Enablement

• Coordinate vendor data collection efforts (LT, MOQ, pricing, capacity, compliance).

• Support sourcing and RFQ initiatives (packaging, logistics services, parts, consumables).

• Track contractual obligations vs. operational reality (e.g., billable storage, SLAs, throughput commitments).

Process & Systems Enablement

• Support rollout and adoption of supply chain tools, real-time catalogs, and reporting systems.

• Document processes, define ownership models, and help institutionalize operating cadence.

• Identify opportunities to reduce manual work, improve data accuracy, and eliminate process debt.

What Success Looks Like (First 6-12 Months)

• Projects move faster with fewer follow-ups from leadership.

• Clear visibility into status, risks, and next actions across all major initiatives.

• Stakeholders are aligned, accountable, and working off a single source of truth.

• Leadership time shifts from coordination to decision-making.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in Business, Project Management, Supply Chian, or Engineering fields

• 2+ years of experience in supply chain, operations, logistics, or project management.

• Experience supporting cross-functional initiatives

• Analytical skills; comfortable working with large, imperfect data sets.

• Experience & strong knowledge of Microsoft Excel & Google Sheets

• Exceptional written and verbal communication - able to synthesize complexity into clarity.
