About the Role
Serve as the strategic interface between internal teams (R&D, Quality, Operations) and external manufacturing partners. Own product categories end-to-end, ensuring product availability, driving cost efficiency, and leveraging external manufacturing intelligence to spark innovation.
Responsibilities
- Guarantee product availability and eliminate stockouts through proactive risk management, robust capacity planning, and flawless data tracking.
- Continuously screen the market for new manufacturing capabilities, onboard strategic CMO partners, and manage day-to-day partner operations.

- Hold partners accountable to strict delivery reliability (OTIF) and swift quality resolution (CAPA), while bringing external best practices back to internal operations.
Requirements
- 5+ years in strategic procurement, category management, or contract manufacturing (CMO), ideally in dietary supplements, FMCG, food, or pharma.

- Proven track record of leading complex, cross-functional initiatives (e.g., NPIs).
- Excel at bridging internal teams (R&D, Quality, Supply Chain, Accounting, Legal) with external manufacturing partners.
- Highly data-driven and comfortable with large datasets.
- Translate operational metrics and spend data into clear priorities, actionable insights, and negotiation leverage.
- Think in scalable systems—capable of refining workflows (P2P, SOPs, partner onboarding) and maintaining data integrity.
- Hands-on experience with modern ERP systems (e.g., Odoo or similar MRP), project platforms (e.g., monday.com), and BI tools (e.g., Tableau or Salesforce).
