The ideal candidate is commercially minded, highly organized, detail-oriented and proactive, with the ability to balance strategic projects with day-to-day supplier management and urgent supply chain needs. You’re willing to be hands-on, in the weeds and comfortable rolling up your sleeves to get things done, whilst also able to flex to higher level strategy, too.

This role reports to our Operations Manager (whose role is focused on Procurement, Commercialization and Cost-Opt), and is ideally based in NYC, coming into the office 3 days a week.

• Support commercialization by sourcing and qualifying new ingredients and packaging in partnership with R&D and Innovation teams.
• Monitor commodity markets and supply chain trends to identify cost risks, disruptions, and savings opportunities.
• Support cost optimization projects through cost modeling, benchmarking or supplier and co-man outreach
• Maintain accurate procurement data, such as supplier contracts, pricing, and sourcing trackers.

Requirements

• 3–6 years of experience in procurement, sourcing, supply chain within CPG, food & beverage (ideal), if not, other consumer products.
