Full Job Description
About The Role

The Procurement & Logistics Manager owns how Thesis products are sourced, made, and delivered. You'll manage suppliers, contract manufacturers, packaging partners, freight, 3PL performance, inventory, and landed cost-with direct accountability for margin and customer experience.

This is a hands-on role with real P&L impact. You'll reduce COGS, run demand planning and S&OP, prevent inventory issues, and build the supply chain needed to support DTC, retail, Amazon, and wholesale growth.

How You'll Make an Impact:
  • Own sourcing and negotiation across ingredients, manufacturing, packaging, and freight, including RFQs, pricing, MOQs, lead times, and payment terms.
  • Deliver measurable COGS savings through negotiation, alternate sourcing, packaging optimization, volume commitments, and freight consolidation.
  • Run demand planning and S&OP, translating growth forecasts into purchase orders and inventory targets.
  • Set safety stock and reorder policies to prevent stockouts and overstocks.
  • Manage 3PL performance against clear SLAs for speed, accuracy, damage rates, and cost per order.
  • Build supply chain capabilities for retail, wholesale, and Amazon, including EDI, routing guides, chargeback prevention, and inventory allocation.
  • Own inbound logistics and landed cost, including freight forwarders, customs brokers, and import documentation.
  • Partner with Quality and Regulatory on supplier qualification, COAs, lot traceability, and cGMP documentation.
  • Improve the systems, processes, and reporting used to plan, purchase, and track inventory.

We're Excited About Your:
  • 3-5+ years in supply chain, procurement, or logistics, ideally in supplements, food and beverage, beauty, or CPG.
  • A record of negotiating supplier agreements and delivering quantified cost savings.
  • Direct experience managing 3PLs and freight partners against SLAs and cost targets.
  • Strong demand planning and inventory management skills, including forecasting, safety stock, and reorder points.
  • Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills and comfort building practical cost and scenario models.
  • High ownership, sound judgment, and comfort operating without a large team or established playbook.
  • Clear cross-functional communication with marketing, finance, product, quality, and operations.
  • Practical fluency with AI tools such as Claude or ChatGPT.
