Job description

Lead the Engine Behind One of the Top 5 Amazon Sellers in the US

Role: VP, Supply Chain & Operations
Location: San Diego, CA 92101 (Onsite at Symphony Towers) | ~25% travel to DFW warehouse
Compensation: $250,000–$350,000+

We’re looking for a VP, Supply Chain & Operations who has built and scaled before — someone who thinks in systems, leads with conviction, and knows what world-class inventory execution looks like inside Amazon and FBA ecosystems. You’ll report directly to C-Suite, set the strategic direction, and have full ownership of the teams, budgets, and outcomes that fuel our growth.

We’re so excited to bring in someone who can step up and will fully own the outcome. If you’re a supply chain executive looking for real ownership, a seat at the table, and the chance to shape operations at scale — let’s talk.

What You’ll Own

• The complete supply chain lifecycle — from procurement and inbound logistics through warehousing, inventory deployment, and fulfillment
• Long-term supply chain and operations strategy tied directly to company growth, margin, and cash-flow objectives
• Core inventory KPIs: Days of Inventory, In-Stock Rate, Overstock Rate, Inventory Turns, and Warehouse Productivity
• Warehouse Operations in DFW — labor planning, throughput, safety, inventory accuracy, and cost control
• Procurement strategy, supplier negotiations, and contract management across the vendor base
• Supply chain and warehouse budgets with full accountability to profitability and working capital targets
• Cross-functional alignment with Brand Management, Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Commercial leadership
• Senior external relationships including Amazon/FBA and third-party logistics partners
• Building, mentoring, and scaling high-performing teams across Supply Chain, Procurement, and Warehouse Operations — including developing your leadership bench

What You Bring

• 10+ years of progressive experience in supply chain, procurement, and warehouse operations — with a track record of executive-level leadership and measurable results
• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Finance, or related field; MBA or advanced degree strongly preferred
• Deep experience managing warehouse operations and distributed inventory environments at scale
• Proven P&L or working capital ownership with demonstrated impact on margin and efficiency
• Strong command of inventory management within FBA or similar high-velocity fulfillment ecosystems
• Executive presence — the ability to influence at the C-suite level, negotiate with strategic partners, and lead through complexity
• A builder’s mindset — you’ve scaled teams, stood up processes, and created operational infrastructure that lasts
• Willingness to travel regularly to DFW (~25%)

You’ll be based in Symphony Towers, one of San Diego’s premier office spaces that offers:

• Stunning views of the city and coastline
• Free access to the building gym
• Discounts at restaurants and cafes in the tower
• Secure bike racks in the building and 24/7 paid parking in a nearby downtown structure
• Close walking distance to 100+ of the top bars, restaurants, and coffee shops

Our office is designed for comfort, productivity, and collaboration, featuring:

• Ergonomic standing desks and high-quality workstations
• A fully stocked snack bar, espresso machine, and cold drinks
• A welcoming team lounge area and sunny workspaces
• A clean, modern space where we can do our best work together

Benefits & Perks

Our people are our #1 priority. Our benefits include:

• Multiple medical plan options through Anthem Blue Cross
• Dental & vision insurance (including orthodontia and annual exams)
• Pet benefit program with savings on vet care, products, and services
• Paid vacation (accruing up to 120+ hours/year with rollover and cap)
• Paid holidays annually
• Coverage for spouses/domestic partners and dependents under 26
• Benefits begin on the first of the month after your hire date

Why Luminize

This isn’t a “keep the lights on” operations role. You’ll be building the infrastructure for a company in growth mode — with the executive authority and resources to do it right.

At Luminize, we offer clear career paths, promote from within, and invest in the people who drive results. You’ll have direct access to the CEO, cross-functional influence across the business, and the backing to make bold moves.

You’ll also benefit from:

• A leadership culture rooted in accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement
• Cross-functional exposure across brand management, software, advertising, catalog, and commercial strategy
• A team that moves fast, celebrates wins, and treats every brand like it’s our own
