This is a high-impact leadership opportunity to build and scale an end-to-end supply chain for a rapidly growing omnichannel consumer brand.
The role spans demand and supply planning, procurement, manufacturing, inventory, supplier management, and cost optimization.

It is well suited to a hands-on strategic leader who thrives in fast-growth environments and enjoys turning operational complexity into scalable systems.

• Own inventory strategy across SKUs, channels, and locations, including safety stock, inventory turns, days/weeks of cover, aged inventory, excess inventory, and obsolescence prevention.
• Partner with Finance to improve inventory accuracy, working-capital management, product-cost visibility, and overall supply-chain financial performance.
• Drive continuous COGS optimization across manufacturing, materials, packaging, freight, and other upstream costs without compromising quality or customer experience.
• Ensure supply-chain readiness for major retail partners, including forecasts, replenishment, inventory availability, OTIF, fill rates, routing, case-pack, labeling, and compliance requirements.
• Lead supply-chain readiness for new product launches by securing materials, packaging, production capacity, finished goods, and replenishment plans against critical launch milestones.
• Develop supply-chain strategies for international expansion, including regional inventory, replenishment, lead-time, freight, capacity, packaging, labeling, and compliance considerations.
• Own supply-chain master-data integrity across SKU, vendor, BOM, MOQ, lead-time, cost, supplier, and inventory information, while supporting ERP implementation and optimization.
• Build, lead, and develop a high-performing supply-chain organization, establishing clear responsibilities, decision rights, KPIs, accountability, succession planning, and cross-training.
• Lead monthly supply-chain business reviews and recurring vendor QBRs, providing executive-level visibility into inventory, production, capacity, working capital, risks, and mitigation plans.
• Act as a strategic partner to executive leadership, escalating material risks early and presenting clear business impacts, options, recommendations, and required decisions.

• Strong financial acumen, including understanding of COGS, inventory investment, margins, cash requirements, and working-capital implications.
• Experience working with ERP and planning systems, with a strong focus on data integrity, planning discipline, and scalable processes.
• Strong strategic and analytical capabilities combined with a hands-on, execution-oriented approach.
• Excellent cross-functional communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to influence senior leaders and external partners.
• Demonstrated ability to build teams, establish operating rhythms, and create accountability in high-growth environments.
• Experience in beauty, haircare, personal care, or other consumer-product categories is preferred.
