[Hiring] Director of Supply Chain @Grüns

Role Description

Our supply chain team has built something solid. We're looking for a Director of Supply Chain to take it over and take it further:

• Leveling up how we negotiate with suppliers
• Building out demand planning and a real S&OP cadence
• Taking ownership of our logistics network end to end
• Growing a small team as the work scales

This role reports directly into our VP of Operations and is part of our remote HQ. We have a fully remote, high-trust work environment, and also come together on a biannual basis for amazing off-sites where we can connect IRL.

In this role, you will:

• 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

Qualifications

• 8-12 years in CPG supply chain, with at least 3 years owning a function or a major end to end scope
• Experience running an asset-light contract manufacturing network
• Strong track record negotiating supplier agreements directly
• Experience owning a cost-per-unit or COGS number
• Experience building a supply plan in a model: net requirements, safety stock, on-hand, and open POs
• Experience running or standing up an S&OP process

Requirements

• You see a working system as a foundation, not a finish line, and you're excited to build on top of it rather than around it
• You stay in the model yourself and bring recommendations, not just data
• You're decisive with incomplete information
• You're commercially aggressive and relationally durable
• You communicate with brevity
• You move with urgency and low ego

Benefits

• Base salary range of $180,000-$200,000 plus incentive compensation depending on experience
• Comprehensive benefits package designed to support the well-being and growth of our team
