Job Overview
Step into a Materials Manager, Warehouse & Inventory role with ILC Dover, an Ingersoll Rand brand company blending NASA-born innovation with critical life science impact. As part of our Chemicals team, you’ll support the manufacture of high-quality materials and media used in GLP-1 production, upstream bioreactors, custom chemical solutions, complex formulations, and WFI-quality water—all within a regulated, quality-driven environment where precision, compliance, and operational excellence matter.
The Materials Manager leads daily materials flow across the site, with primary ownership of warehouse operations, inventory control, receiving, shipping, replenishment, and material availability to support production and customer commitments. While the role includes planning and purchasing coordination, the core focus is ensuring inventory is accurate, available, properly transacted, and aligned with business needs. This role partners closely with production, planning, procurement, quality, engineering, finance, and sales to support materials from BOM setup and planning through final shipment. The ideal candidate brings strong warehouse and materials management experience in a regulated manufacturing environment, ideally medical device, drug product, API, excipients, or related pharmaceutical settings.
This is a hands-on leadership opportunity for someone who values inventory accuracy, traceability, compliance, and process discipline—and wants meaningful ownership, team leadership, and the ability to make a visible impact in a nimble, collaborative operation.
Responsibilities:
- Lead a small team responsible for warehouse operations, inventory control, receiving, shipping, replenishment, and material flow to support production and customer commitments.
- Oversee end-to-end materials flow across the site, ensuring materials are available, accurately transacted, and properly controlled from receipt through shipment.
- Manage inventory accuracy and inventory-related processes, including replenishment, transaction discipline, cycle count support, and aging inventory control.
- Partner with planning, purchasing, production, quality, engineering, finance, and sales to support material availability, cost alignment, and operational execution.
- Help balance inventory levels and purchasing activity to support service, cost, and production requirements while avoiding overstock and shortages.
- Maintain and improve processes related to receiving, warehouse movement, storage, inventory control, and outbound shipping.
- Support new products, projects, and material setup activities by helping ensure bills of material, costing inputs, and material readiness are aligned for execution.
- Monitor key materials metrics and transaction accuracy, helping ensure process flow, reporting integrity, and performance against operational goals.
- Work with quality and operations teams to support timely material release, compliance, and execution in a regulated manufacturing environment.
- Drive continuous improvement in warehouse processes, systems, and supporting tools to improve efficiency, visibility, and overall materials performance.

Tips for Your Materials Manager Job Search
Quantify your inventory and cost results
Hiring managers want to see measurable outcomes on your resume. Replace vague duties with numbers: how much inventory carrying cost you reduced, fill rates you maintained, or supplier lead times you cut. Exact figures make your impact concrete and hard to overlook.
List your ERP and WMS systems explicitly
Many applicant tracking systems filter by software name before a human reads anything. Call out every system you've used, including SAP, Oracle, JD Edwards, NetSuite, or Manhattan, in a dedicated skills section so your application clears the first automated screen.
Target openings by industry vertical
Materials manager roles in aerospace carry different compliance expectations than those in consumer packaged goods or medical devices. Search by industry keyword alongside the job title so you're applying to roles where your sector experience is directly transferable rather than a stretch.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists materials manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a supplier negotiation story for interviews
Interviewers for this role almost always ask for a specific example of how you handled a supplier failure or renegotiated terms under pressure. Prepare a concise account with a clear situation, your actions, and the measurable result before your first round.
Follow up with a supply chain context note
After an interview, your thank-you message lands harder if it references a specific operational challenge the hiring manager mentioned. Tying your follow-up to their current inventory or sourcing pain point shows you were listening and can connect dots immediately.
Materials Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most materials managers?
The companies hiring the most materials managers right now include Applied Materials, ECS Limited, and Carlisle Construction Materials, with the largest share of openings in California, Texas, and North Carolina, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Manufacturing, defense, and medical device companies tend to post the highest volume of these roles consistently.
How many materials manager jobs are remote?
About 7% of materials manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most materials operations. The sub-areas most likely to offer remote flexibility are demand planning, procurement analytics, and supplier coordination roles that don't require daily presence on a plant or warehouse floor.
How do you become a materials manager?
Start with a bachelor's degree in supply chain, operations, or business, then build hands-on experience in inventory control, purchasing, or production planning roles. Earning an APICS certification such as CPIM or CSCP strengthens your candidacy significantly. Progressively taking ownership of supplier relationships and cross-functional projects is what moves candidates from coordinator to manager level.
Can you get a materials manager job with little experience?
Yes, but you'll need to make your adjacent experience explicit. Roles in purchasing, inventory analysis, logistics coordination, or production scheduling all translate directly. Highlight any experience with ERP systems, supplier communication, or inventory accuracy projects. Targeting smaller manufacturers or distribution companies is often more practical than pursuing enterprise roles before you have a dedicated materials management title on your resume.
What does the materials manager interview process look like?
Most hiring processes start with a recruiter or HR screen focused on your ERP experience and industry background. A second round typically involves a functional interview with the supply chain or operations director where you'll walk through specific scenarios involving supplier disruptions, inventory shortfalls, or cost reduction projects. Some companies add a case exercise or a plant walkthrough before extending an offer.
Where can I find and apply to materials manager jobs?
You can find and apply to materials manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience, industry background, and location preference, then apply directly to each one that fits.
