Job Description

One of the fastest-growing brands in US snacking is seeking a VP, Supply Chain.




They’ve built a household-name brand in record time, and their vision goes well beyond their core snacking and confectionery range. The business runs entirely on a co-manufacturing model, is moving at real velocity, and needs a supply chain leader who can scale global infrastructure without slowing it down.




This is a rare chance to own the full end-to-end supply chain of a brand that’s changing how CPG is built, with genuine scope to shape the wider portfolio as it grows.




What you’ll be doing:



  • Owning global supply planning, contract manufacturing, and logistics & distribution

  • Building and managing an international co-manufacturing network, including drafting and negotiating short- and long-term agreements

  • Leading procurement with transportation and 3PL partners to drive cost-effective, KPI-led operations

  • Running S&OP and supply planning across forecasting, inventory, budgeting and deployment

  • Strengthening DTC and retail order management with carriers, 3PLs and internal teams

  • Partnering closely with Finance on costing, cash flow, payment terms and inventory reconciliation

  • Ensuring supply chain readiness for a fast-moving pipeline of new product launches

  • Championing ethical and responsible sourcing across the supply base

  • Building and leading a high-performing team while staying hands-on




What we’re looking for:



  • 12+ years of progressive supply chain leadership, ideally in food or CPG, with chocolate or confectionery a strong plus

  • Proven experience managing co-manufacturers, ideally at international scale

  • A track record of negotiating strategic manufacturing, co-packing and logistics agreements

  • Experience with ethical sourcing programs

  • A strong people leader who’s comfortable rolling up their sleeves

  • An entrepreneurial mindset: autonomous, decisive and energized by pace and ambiguity

  • Bachelor’s degree required; MBA, APICS or Six Sigma a plus




What’s on offer:



  • Competitive base salary plus bonus

  • Equity participation

  • 100% employer-paid medical, dental and vision option

  • 401(k) with company match

  • Unlimited PTO

  • The chance to help build an iconic global brand
