Accountabilities: Own and continuously evolve the end-to-end supply chain strategy across sourcing, procurement, manufacturing, inventory, and distribution, ensuring the infrastructure can support rapid domestic and international growth. Develop manufacturing and supplier network strategies, including sourcing decisions, dual-sourcing opportunities, manufacturing footprint, and make-versus-buy analysis. Identify and mitigate supply risks and single points of failure across manufacturers, suppliers, raw materials, components, and packaging. Lead consensus demand planning and supply planning across DTC, Amazon FBA/FBM, retail, wholesale, and international channels, translating commercial forecasts into SKU-level production, procurement, inventory, and capacity requirements. Lead the S&OP process and create strong alignment across Sales, E-Commerce, Marketing, Product, Finance, and Operations.

Lead contract manufacturer and supplier selection, onboarding, negotiations, relationship management, performance reviews, scorecards, and QBRs. Negotiate pricing, lead times, MOQs, payment terms, capacity reservations, and other commercial conditions while maintaining quality and service standards. 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.
