This is a critical leadership role for someone who thrives in high-growth environments.

* Manage relationships with manufacturing partners, 3PLs, and suppliers.
* Implement scalable systems and processes to support rapid growth.
* Drive continuous improvement in supply chain performance, sustainability, and resilience.
* Collaborate cross-functionally with Commercial, Finance, and Product teams.


What We’re Looking For:

* Proven experience leading supply chain and operations in a fast-paced FMCG environment (scale-up or challenger brand experience is a big plus).
* Strategic thinker with a strong analytical mindset and hands-on approach.
* Experience scaling operations through periods of rapid growth and complexity.
* Excellent negotiation, project management, and team leadership skills.
* A builder mentality – excited to shape the future of a high-potential brand.
* Strong understanding of ERP systems, inventory management, and logistics optimization.
* Passion for innovation, sustainability, and customer satisfaction.
