Supply Chain Specialist

Scheels Company Goals:

We strive to be the best retailer in the USA in the eyes and minds of our customers, associates, and business partners. 

Overview: 

Scheels operates a growing warehouse network of four facilities totaling 750,000 square feet, a mix of Scheels-run and third-party logistics (3PL) operated facilities, all running on Scheels systems and technology.

The Supply Chain Specialist supports the daily execution of this network. This position serves as the primary Scheels point of contact for one of our facilities, making sure the systems are operational, purchase orders are set up correctly, the teams know the plan ahead of time, and the follow-up happens to confirm it's getting done.
