The ideal candidate combines strong analytical capabilities with deep CPG supply chain expertise and the ability to lead S&OP processes across the organization.

• Build and refine forecasting models using advanced analytics tools; leverage data to guide executive decision-making.

2. S&OP Leadership

• Prepare data for and facilitate regular S&OP meetings, aligning sales forecasts with production and inventory plans.
• Communicate supply constraints, excess inventory, or plan changes to all relevant stakeholders in a timely manner.
• Drive cross-functional alignment between sales, operations, and finance on demand and supply decisions.

3. Beverage & Supplement Production Planning

• Own the end-to-end production planning processes, translating forecasts and inventory data into executable manufacturing schedules.
• Coordinate with manufacturing partners and internal stakeholders to ensure alignment on demand and production output.
• Monitor inventory levels and consumption rates to proactively manage production cycles and prevent stockouts or excess inventory.

4. Company-Wide Purchasing Leadership

• Lead all purchasing activities across raw materials, packaging, and finished goods.
• Develop and execute cost-effective procurement strategies; negotiate supplier pricing, terms, and agreements.
• Monitor supplier performance against quality, reliability, and contract compliance standards.
• Manage supplier qualification and onboarding in collaboration with quality and operations teams.
• Build and maintain strong vendor relationships to ensure supply continuity and long-term partnerships.

5. Offsite Inventory Reconciliation & Control

• Oversee inventory tracking and reconciliation across all third-party manufacturing and warehouse locations.
• Ensure timely and accurate transaction posting into internal systems to reflect true inventory positions.
• Develop and maintain SOPs to improve inventory visibility, traceability, and reporting integrity.
• Create inventory optimization models to reduce carrying costs while maintaining service levels.

6. Reporting & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Provide regular reporting to leadership on planning metrics, forecast accuracy, supplier performance, and purchasing activity.
• Partner with finance, logistics, and demand planning to drive integrated supply chain performance.
• Lead or support strategic sourcing initiatives and vendor rationalization projects.

7. Process Improvement & Innovation

• Continuously assess and improve purchasing, forecasting, and inventory workflows through process redesign or system enhancements.
• Stay current on CPG industry trends, market conditions, and emerging tools relevant to supply chain optimization.
