• Lead sourcing, procurement, and supplier management (focus in year one)
• Build scalable supply chain operations across planning, fulfilment, and logistics
• Own systems, processes, and performance metrics from the ground up
• Help launch a brand that’s set to redefine personal care

About you:

• Strong supply chain experience in consumer goods/beauty industry, ideally experience working in fast-growing SMEs
• Strong sourcing/procurement track record and supplier negotiation skills
• Comfortable operating independently, hands-on, solutions-driven, and excited to build from scratch
