Our Client

 

Our Client is an innovative, high-growth Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) food enterprise specializing in better-for-you, high-fiber products—including patented resistant-starch pasta imported from Italy, specialty crackers, baking flours, mac & cheese, and riced grains. Serving major nationwide retail channels and direct-to-consumer platforms, our client operates with a lean, fast-paced execution model that prioritizes product quality, supply chain integrity, rigorous cost control, and proactive vendor management.

 

Job Overview

 

Our Client is seeking a hands-on, highly autonomous Operations & Supply Chain Coordinator to own the day-to-day operational engine of the business. Functioning as a high-accountability individual contributor, this professional will build and maintain standard operating procedures (SOPs), oversee inventory levels and purchase order (PO) cycles, manage co-packer production schedules, model landed costs for new retail accounts, and proactively monitor major distributor relationships (KeHE, UNFI) to prevent stockouts and write-offs.

 

Key Responsibilities

 

Systems Architecture & SOP Management

 

  • Builds, documents, and maintains core operational SOPs, implementing checklists, trackers, and accountability cadences across all supply chain workflows.

  • Serves as the central operational driver, ensuring cross-functional tasks are executed on time and without requiring daily executive oversight.

 

Inventory Control, PO Cycles & Forecasting

 

  • Manages reorder points, lead times, and purchase order cycles to maintain optimal stock levels without overbuying or experiencing stockouts.

  • Develops, updates, and refines demand and inventory forecasts, incorporating retail seasonality, sales velocity, and new account launches.

 

Vendor, Co-Packer & Distributor Operations (KeHE / UNFI)

 

  • Oversees day-to-day supplier and co-packer relationships, resolving overages, ingredient discrepancies, billing refunds, and packaging production timelines.

  • Monitors distributor account health (KeHE, UNFI), proactively identifying slow-moving SKUs or short-dated inventory to prevent product write-offs.

  • Drives operational issues to complete resolution independently, escalating critical bottlenecks to executive leadership when necessary.

 

Retail Onboarding & Financial Modeling

 

  • Conducts financial modeling for new retail account onboardings, calculating landed costs, gross margins, and logistics requirements.

  • Ensures production runs and co-packer deliverables remain on schedule to satisfy retailer fulfillment windows.

 

Qualifications, Skills, and Key Competencies

 

Required Qualifications

 

  • CPG & Food Industry Experience: Minimum 3+ years of direct experience in supply chain, logistics, or operations within the CPG or food sector, featuring a strong understanding of co-packers, ingredient sourcing, and retail distribution dynamics.

  • SOP & Systems Creation: Demonstrated ability to author operational SOPs, build tracking frameworks, and implement accountability systems from scratch.

  • Forecasting & Inventory Mastery: Hands-on experience creating and maintaining demand forecasting models, reorder point calculators, and inventory trackers.

  • Margin & Landed Cost Analysis: Comfortable working with unit economics, landed cost calculations, and gross margin analysis.

  • Exceptional English Communication: Native or near-native written and spoken English fluency to communicate clearly and assertively with suppliers, distributors, and executive leadership.

  • Schedule Alignment: Full availability to work standard US Eastern business hours (Monday – Friday, 8:00/9:00 AM – 4:00/5:00 PM ET).

  • Remote Infrastructure: Dedicated, quiet home office, high-performance computer setup, and a stable, high-speed internet connection.

 

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to have):

 

  • Direct prior experience managing major national CPG distributor accounts (e.g., KeHE, UNFI) or handling major retail account onboarding logistics.

  • Familiarity with inventory data/BI tools, cloud ERP platforms, or specialized supply chain management software.

  • Prior experience working directly alongside founders or small executive leadership teams in high-growth CPG environments.

 
Benefits
 

  • Competitive Compensation: Hourly rate translating to $1,600 – $2,080 USD/month based on experience.

  • High Ownership & Impact: Direct oversight over company-wide supply chain processes with zero micromanagement.

  • Direct Executive Access: Work side-by-side with company leadership to drive brand expansion across major retail networks.

  • 100% Remote Infrastructure: Manage global CPG supply chain operations remotely from anywhere in Latin America.
