Reporting
This position will report to the Senior Director, Supply Chain.
Summary of Role
Palmetto's Safe Harbor program puts more than a billion dollars of customer-owned equipment into the field. Six OEMs build it, multiple distribution partners hold it on consignment, and more than 500 EPC partners install it across 32 states and Puerto Rico.
You will own the success of that program. That means the right equipment in the right branch at the right time, installs that keep pace with plan, and OEM and distributor relationships that hold up under pressure. You'll set the strategy, run the commercial relationships, and bring the program's trade-offs to executive leadership with a clear recommendation.
This is a leadership role. You'll lead the team, the process, and the tools, and you'll represent the program in front of OEM executives, distributor leadership, and Palmetto's executive team.
Strategic & Tactical
- Own the Safe Harbor program end to end, from OEM order to distributor branch to EPC install. Set priorities, targets and KPIs, spot risks to volume, timing and cash early, and run the issues and decisions log.
- Lead OEM relationships as the senior Palmetto contact for six programs. Negotiate volume commitments, lead times, payment terms and credit limits, manage escalations, develop supplier risk options, and build plans for new OEM programs through 2027-2030.
- Lead distribution strategy. Own distributor relationships and performance, set how OEM volume is allocated across distributors and branches, expand and onboard the network, and manage the fee structure and rate card with Finance.
