Supply Chain Support Lead

Help the people and processes behind the work run smoothly.

At Interstates, great support helps teams do their best work. As a Supply Chain Support Lead, you’ll help coordinate daily operations, strengthen consistent processes, and connect the Support team with partners across the company. You’ll share knowledge, help resolve challenges, and create an organized, collaborative environment where people can stay focused on what matters.

What You’ll Do

• Must be proficient in the role of Support II and have a good understanding of Support III expectations.
• Identify, develop, and maintain departmental or process standards, including updates and recommendations for new standards as needed.
• Guide and support the supply chain team by coordinating day-to-day work, sharing knowledge, and helping resolve challenges so the team can meet its goals.
• Partner with other Interstates team leads to coordinate priorities, share information, and address cross-functional needs.
• Contribute to employee talent-card and performance-review processes by providing role-related observations and input to the appropriate manager.
• Provide support during 1-on-1 meetings, helping facilitate communication, follow-up, and action item tracking.
• Schedule, set agenda for, and lead weekly support team sync meetings, ensuring alignment on priorities, progress, and key initiatives.
• Serve as a liaison with Accounts Payable (AP) to resolve invoice or payment-related issues and ensure smooth coordination between departments.

  Team leads and partner departments receive timely information and coordinate smoothly on shared needs.
