Lila Sciences is building Scientific Superintelligence to solve major challenges in medicine, materials, and energy. They are establishing a supply chain function from the ground up, and this is the first hire into the discipline.
You will own the complete order lifecycle—from placement through confirmation, delivery, installation, and commissioning. This is a foundational role where you shape the supply chain discipline rather than inherit an existing one.
Key responsibilities include:
- Build an order tracking system from placement through install and commissioning, designed to migrate into a future ERP system
- Lead and coordinate the supply chain ERP proposal and selection process
- Own the long-lead item list and establish lead times the business can reliably plan around
- Work down aging open orders and provide Finance with a clean view of supply commitments
- Prioritize which product categories earn a demand plan and build consumption-based demand signals
- Size blanket orders to planned build activity and establish a parts-on-hand model with FP&A
- Run delivery and capacity cadence with strategic partners, escalating when dates shift
- Partner with Procurement, Facilities, Lab Operations, and Hardware & Controls on receiving and install readiness
You will work cross-functionally with Procurement, Category Managers, and the Procurement Specialist to create an integrated end-to-end view of supplier relationships, orders, and delivery rather than siloed functions.
Requirements:
- 3–6 years in supply chain, demand planning, materials planning, or order management
- Track record of owning delivery dates end-to-end
- Judgment to prioritize what gets planned and defend that order
- Strong spreadsheet and data skills, translating transactional data into supply chain insights
- Experience coordinating across suppliers, freight, and internal receiving
- Comfort with shifting priorities in an early-stage function
- Ability to build from nothing, starting simple rather than perfect
Bonus qualifications:
- Smartsheet or comparable workflow tools
- Capital equipment installation and commissioning coordination
- Scientific instruments, lab consumables, or regulated environment experience
- ERP planning module implementation (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Dynamics)
- Import, customs, or export control exposure
