About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Supply Chain Director to lead two core functions: Logistics & Warehouse and Procurement. This is a senior leadership position responsible for owning end-to-end goods flow — from sourcing and supplier management through to warehousing, inventory, and distribution — while driving operational excellence, cost efficiency, and resilience across both functions.
What You'll Do
Logistics & Warehouse
- Own warehouse operations end-to-end, including receiving, storage, inventory accuracy, order fulfillment, and outbound distribution.
- Lead transportation and logistics planning, including carrier and 3PL management, freight cost optimization, and delivery performance.
- Set and monitor inventory policies to balance service levels against carrying cost, minimizing stockouts and excess/obsolete stock.
- Drive warehouse safety, layout, and process improvements, including automation and WMS/TMS system adoption.
- Track and report on logistics/warehouse KPIs (on-time delivery, order accuracy, inventory turns, warehouse utilization, freight cost per unit).
Procurement
- Develop and execute sourcing and procurement strategy across direct and indirect spend categories.
- Build, negotiate, and manage relationships with key suppliers, ensuring cost, quality, and delivery commitments are met.
- Lead supplier selection, contract negotiation, and vendor performance management, including scorecards and QBRs.
- Manage procurement risk through supplier diversification, contingency planning, and market/price monitoring.
- Identify and deliver cost-savings and total-cost-of-ownership improvements across the procurement portfolio.
Leadership & Cross-Functional
- Set the overall strategy for the Logistics/Warehouse and Procurement functions in line with business goals.
- Lead, mentor, and develop managers and teams across both functions.
- Manage the combined budget for logistics, warehousing, and procurement, identifying cost-saving opportunities without compromising service.
- Ensure compliance with relevant trade, customs, safety, and regulatory requirements.
- Partner cross-functionally with Finance, Sales, Operations, and Product teams to align supply of goods with business needs.
- Report on function-wide performance, risks, and initiatives to senior leadership.
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Logistics, Engineering, or a related field (Master's degree or MBA a plus).
- 10+ years of progressive experience across procurement, logistics, and/or warehouse management, including at least 5 years in a senior leadership role overseeing multiple functions.
- Proven track record leading both warehouse/logistics operations and procurement/sourcing functions.
- Strong knowledge of inventory management, distribution, sourcing strategy, and supplier/contract negotiation.
- Experience with ERP, WMS, and procurement systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, or similar).
- Excellent negotiation, vendor management, and stakeholder communication skills.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving ability, with a data-driven approach to decision-making.
- Demonstrated ability to lead change management and process improvement initiatives across cross-functional teams.
- Professional certification (e.g., CSCP, CPSM, CPIM, Six Sigma) preferred.
