Listing checked September 17, 2026 · pay as published by Micro1
Overview
micro1 is hiring Supply Chain Managers to contribute domain expertise on a customer project that trains next-generation AI systems. You will work with ERP platforms like SAP, Oracle, or NetSuite, build demand forecasts, and create supplier scorecards. This is a remote contractor role, and no AI background is needed. Your supply chain knowledge is what matters.
What You'll Do7
- 1Operate ERP systems such as SAP, Oracle, or NetSuite at a user level to support supply chain workflows and enter data.
- 2Create simple demand forecasts and supply plans from real or hypothetical inputs.
- 3Build and complete supplier evaluation scorecards that rate cost, quality, reliability, and service.
- 4Examine inventory and stock levels, then flag discrepancies, risks, or possible shortages.
- 5Produce clear reports using intermediate Excel functions like pivot tables, lookups, and basic formulas to aid supply chain decisions.
- 6Simulate end-to-end procurement scenarios by combining sourcing insights with purchasing knowledge.
- 7Document processes and share findings through concise written and verbal communication for technical and non-technical audiences.
Requirements7
- 15+ years of hands-on experience with leading ERP platforms (SAP, Oracle, or NetSuite) in a supply chain context.
- 2Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex supply chain concepts and analysis clearly.
- 3Solid background in demand planning or building supplier scorecards, ideally with direct responsibility for supplier performance monitoring.
- 4Proficiency in intermediate Excel functions relevant to supply chain analysis and reporting.
- 5Demonstrated ability to evaluate suppliers and manage supplier relationships using structured processes.
- 6Experience collaborating with Purchasing Agents or in roles combining sourcing with procurement responsibilities.
- 7Ability to work independently, organize tasks, and meet project deliverables in a remote setting.
Who Should Apply
This role fits supply chain professionals with at least five years of ERP experience, a knack for demand planning, and comfort building supplier scorecards. You should also be able to write and speak clearly about complex supply chain topics. The role is less suitable for someone who has only used ERP systems at a basic data-entry level or who lacks experience with supplier evaluation. Candidates often get rejected when they cannot show direct responsibility for supplier performance monitoring or when their Excel skills are limited to simple formulas. If you have not worked with purchasing agents or combined sourcing with procurement, your fit score may suffer.
