Head of Fulfillment Network & Logistics

Hybrid role based out of our Sonoma, CA or Denver, CO office Our purpose? Glad you ask. In a nutshell, we’re all about making the world of wine a better place. We fund and source directly from independent winemakers to bring customers better quality wine for a better price. No thirsty middlemen as far as the eye can see. It’s a different way of doing things, sure. But it works. We’re currently the largest online direct-to-consumer winery in the USA, shipping over 1 million packs a year to curious wine lovers. And with an ambitious road ahead, we’ve got no plans on plugging the cork on growth. Our global team (we have offices in the UK and Australia, too) is entrepreneurial by nature, obsessive about customer experience and driven by performance. All things that make Naked a great place to grow both personally and professionally. And yes, we like wine. A lot. Your Purpose This is not a traditional warehousing role.
