Supervisor, Inventory Operations

What we’re building

Our vision is to electrify all waterborne vessels, and we're starting with electric water sport boats.

Gas boats dominate today’s marine industry not because of great product offerings but because of a lack of better alternatives. Boaters have grown accustomed to vehicles that feel stuck in the 1980s: unreliable, expensive, loud, noxious, and a nightmare to own and operate. They’re also awful for the water and air they reside in.

By contrast, electric boats are superior in nearly every way: not only are they far more reliable and less costly to operate, but they’re also quieter, quicker, and cleaner, with no fumes or pollutants. However, they’ve been held back by both the technology and the talent to make them truly competitive with gas alternatives. That’s Arc’s opportunity.

Using modern, aerospace- and automotive-inspired techniques, we’re building our hulls, batteries, cooling systems, firmware, and software together to deliver the next generation of watercraft.

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who is excited by our vision, eager for a challenge, and willing to learn on the job. We pride ourselves on transparency and operate in a lean, high-trust environment that encourages everyone to take ownership over their domain.

As a full-time member of Supply Chain you will work from our manufacturing facility in Los Angeles. Given that we’re a startup, you will be working in a fast-moving, dynamic environment that requires adaptability. Still, there are some responsibilities and qualifications we expect to stay relatively constant in this role.

Core responsibilities

• Leading and optimizing end-to-end material handling operations including receiving, stocking, kitting, shipping, and physical inventory management.
• Driving continuous improvement in inventory processes and tools, identifying inefficiencies and implementing scalable solutions with strong reporting and tracking capabilities.
• Building, managing, and supporting a high-performing inventory team with a strong, collaborative culture
• Aligning inventory planning with production and delivery schedules while maintaining agility for urgent needs
• Collaborating cross-functionally to reconcile data, support audits, and deliver insights.

Basic qualifications 

• 3–5 years of experience in inventory management, warehouse operations, or materials handling, preferably in a manufacturing or production environment
• Strong understanding of inventory systems (ERP, WMS) and proficiency in data analysis (Excel, Google Sheets, or similar) to track inventory trends and generate performance reports
• Clear communication skills, with experience collaborating cross-functionally with teams such as production, logistics, and finance
• Ability to stand for four to six hours per day and lift up to 50 pounds

Bonus qualifications 

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Operations, Industrial Engineering, or a related field
• Experience implementing ERP/WMS systems or leading system transitions
• Lean Six Sigma certification or formal training in continuous improvement methodologies
• Experience scaling material operations in a high-growth startup or new production launch environment
• Enthusiasm for boating and clean energy

Our values

We value these five things above all else:

• Ownership over both your work and the company’s success
• Empathy for colleagues and for customers
• Humility in problem solving and collaboration
• Pragmatism for navigating ambiguity quickly and sensibly
• Inclusion of different backgrounds, opinions, cultures, etc.

Given that we work in a sometimes intense or stressful environment, it’s vital that our values align. We’d be happy to elaborate on any or all of these during the interview process.

What we offer

• Talented teammates that challenge you to be better
• Access and ability to provide input on a wide range of business activities
• Salary between $90,000 - $110,000 per year
• Semi-annual bonuses tied to impact
• A meaningful equity stake
• An opportunity to have an outsized impact on industry-defining vehicles
• The ability to drive positive environmental change through your work
• Nearly free health insurance (we cover 99%) and 401k access
• Generous parental leave
• Daily lunches at our office in LA, plenty of snacks, lots of swag, and more
• Boat rides!

Hope to hear from you soon!
