Director of Supply Chain

We're so happy you're here! Thank you for checking our job out and we hope to have the chance to meet you in our interview process! About the role 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, and growing a small team as the work scales. You'll inherit something that runs, and you'll have the room to make it even better. This role reports directly into our VP of Operations. This role 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 We're looking for someone who: • 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 tell us the baseline, what they did, and the result • 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: • 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 make the call, name the assumption you're carrying, and say what would change your mind • You're commercially aggressive and relationally durable: you push hard on price and still get the call answered when you need a favor six months later • You communicate with brevity. Whether it's Finance, the CEO, or a cross-functional partner, they get what they need and nothing extra. • You move with urgency and low ego, and you don't need a lot of infrastructure to get going Compensation & Benefits: At Grüns, we're committed to providing a competitive total compensation package — grounded in market data that considers our size, stage, industry, and location. For this role, the base salary range is $180,000-$200,000 plus incentive compensation depending on experience, paired with a comprehensive benefits package designed to support the well-being and growth of our team. A bit about us... At Grüns, we believe that foundational nutrition should be simple and convenient for everyone. We're dedicated to bringing comprehensive and real nutrition to you through our gummies, formulated from 60 nutrient-dense and whole-food ingredients. Simply enjoy a grab-and-go snack pack of gummies daily whenever fits best in your schedule and wherever life takes you. Like you, we were disappointed. There’s an infinite number of “nutrition” companies, all focused on what’s best for them — not what’s best for you. Hundreds of products to sell you on, low-quality ingredients, and small nutrient doses. We’ve seen it all. So we decided it was time to fix it. No more choking on and popping pills like a pharmacy. No more clean-up and disgust from gross powders. And no more cobbling together handfuls to dozens of supplements. Grüns is comprehensive nutrition, made convenient and delicious. What we care about... Be the Best: We hold ourselves, our teams, and our partners to an incredibly high standard - and we raise the bar constantly. "We've never done this before" isn't an excuse here. It's an invitation. Own It: We act like our name is on the door. That means taking complete ownership of outcomes, collaborating deeply, working through roadblocks - not around them - and never waiting for someone else to solve the problem. Great owners are great partners. Drive Impact, Urgently: We measure impact, not effort. We work smart and hard, move fast, and use every tool at our disposal - including AI - to focus our energy where it matters most. Compensation & Perks: For every role, we aim to have highly competitive compensation and opportunity for impact and career growth. Everyone at Grüns works hard, but we believe in wellness and balance too. We have super strong benefits coverage -- for you and your family, generous PTO, free Grüns, and a few more perks centered around health and well-being that we can't wait to tell you about!
