For supply chain management, I know there are lots of reddit communities and threads you can research to see how to get into this industry. Here's one where people talk about their jobs: https://www.reddit.com/r/supplychain/comments/mhv7lf/what_is_your_job_like/

With your background I believe that a warehouse manager would be a suitable position, I recommend you to use Indeed there are many jobs related to the supply chain.
