Director of Supply Chain
Job Description
Core Responsibilities:
Own the monthly supply plan across our network of contract manufacturers and pack-out partners, working from demand down to purchase orders.
Take over supplier relationships directly and build a negotiation program on top of them: pricing tiers, capacity commitments, and quarterly business reviews backed by scorecards on delivery, yield, quality, and cost.
Publish and own our fully burdened cost per unit, partner with Finance to track it, and find the levers to bring it down through smarter allocation and procurement.
Build and run demand planning and a monthly S&OP cycle that gets Finance, Marketing, and Retail committed to one number.
Design and de-risk our logistics and 3PL network, including routing and freight decisions that affect landed cost.
Manage and develop your team, staying hands-on in the model while building the leadership the function needs as scope grows.
Move our planning process off spreadsheets and onto a system built for it.
Key Qualifications:
- Has 8-12 years in CPG supply chain, with at least 3 years owning a function or a major end-to-end scope.
- Has run an asset-light contract manufacturing network: allocating volume across multiple co-manufacturers or co-packers, working within MOQs and capacity ceilings, and managing long lead times.
- Has a strong track record negotiating supplier agreements directly.
- Has owned a cost-per-unit or COGS number and can explain the baseline, actions taken, and results achieved.
- Has built a supply plan themselves in a model: net requirements, safety stock, on-hand, and open POs.
- Has run or stood up an S&OP process and gotten cross-functional teams to commit to a number, including an unpopular one.
Approach to the Role:
- Views a working system as a foundation, not a finish line, and is excited to build on top of it.
- Stays hands-on in the model and brings recommendations, not just data.
- Is decisive with incomplete information, makes calls, names assumptions, and states what would change their mind.
- Is commercially aggressive and relationally durable: pushes hard on price while maintaining strong relationships.
- Communicates with brevity, ensuring stakeholders get what they need without unnecessary details.
- Moves with urgency and low ego, requiring minimal infrastructure to get started.
