The Role

The Supply Chain Coordinator owns the day-to-day flow of materials in and out of the facility: receiving raw materials and lab supplies, maintaining inventory, and processing outbound customer shipments. Most outbound shipments are temperature-sensitive protein products moving on dry ice to domestic and international customers. The role works closely with the production and sales teams, with carriers and with suppliers.

Inventory

• Reconcile physical inventory against system records on a defined cadence.
• Keep storage areas organized, labeled, and clean.

Outbound

• Pull, kit, label, and pack customer orders, including cold-chain shipments on dry ice.
• Prepare bills of lading, commercial invoices, and export documentation.
• Schedule pickups with domestic and international carriers and track shipments through delivery.

Quality and Compliance

• Follow ISO 9001:2015 QMS procedures for receiving, inventory, and order fulfillment.
