    The average base salary for supply chain managers is $86,085, according to the MH&L 2015 Salary Survey. This slideshow accompanies Working Hard for the Money, MH&L’s 2015 special report on executive compensation and workforce issues.

He is in a corporate/senior executive management role, has a Bachelor’s degree, and has been with his current company for 6-10 years.
