You'll coordinate cross-functionally to track timelines, manage critical path activities, and resolve potential bottlenecks before they impact launch schedules. This position is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, has exceptional attention to detail, and can navigate complex operations with minimal guidance. By managing the behind-the-scenes supply chain activities, you'll directly contribute to our company's growth through successful and timely product introductions. This role reports directly to 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 bi-annual basis for amazing off-sites where we can connect IRL.
In this role, you will:
- Track and manage supply chain-related activities for new product launches, ensuring all operational requirements are met
- Execute critical supply chain actions for new SKUs, including setting up new item numbers, creating bills of materials (BOMs), and establishing finished goods in our systems
- Manage vendor relationships and maintain clear communication channels with co-packers, ensuring accurate transmission of product specifications, quality standards, and timeline requirements for new products
- Manage project schedules for new product launches, identifying opportunities to optimize timelines
- Problem-solve proactively to address potential delays and recover lost time in launch schedules
- Work cross-functionally with product development, marketing, and sales teams to ensure alignment on launch requirements and timelines
- Navigate ERP systems to set up new products, maintain accurate inventory records, and monitor stock levels, coordinating proactively with suppliers to ensure adequate inventory for successful launches
- Create and maintain documentation for launch processes to ensure consistency across products
- Identify opportunities for process improvement in the new product introduction workflow
We're looking for someone who:
- Brings 1-2 years of experience with supply chain systems, particularly setting up new items, creating bills of materials (BOMs), and establishing finished goods in ERP platforms
- Demonstrates strong vendor management and communication skills, with experience maintaining productive relationships with manufacturing partners, co-packers, or suppliers while effectively conveying technical specifications and quality requirements
- Experience monitoring inventory levels and coordinating with suppliers to maintain appropriate stock levels
- Is comfortable navigating ERP systems (experience with fulfil.io is a plus)
- Has proven experience supporting projects with well-defined timelines, tasks, and outcomes
- Is proficient with project management software (experience with Asana is a plus)
Approach to the work:
- Thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments as a self-starter who takes initiative, identifies potential issues proactively, and achieves independent results with minimal guidance
- Communicates effectively, knowing what information to share, with whom, when, and why, while collaborating across teams
- Demonstrates exceptional attention to detail with specifications and timelines, coupled with critical thinking to investigate when something seems off
- Adapts comfortably to changing priorities of a growing business while maintaining focus on key deliverables
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...
Autonomy: Only the best work at Grüns. We’re all confident, independent leaders. We are proactive. We find opportunities for improvement. Don’t ask; just do. When our actions impact other areas of the organization, we communicate with those functional leaders to ensure connectivity.
Growth: We love to take on new challenges, learn new things, and express interest in new functions. “I’ve never done this before” is not an excuse; it’s an opportunity.
Community: We care deeply about each other. We’re good humans and provide support wherever we can. We care, not just professionally but personally as well.
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 subscriptions, and a few more perks centered around health and well-being that we can't wait to tell you about!
