Director Of Supply Chain

Who We Are

Hungryroot is the all-in-one recipe and grocery service. We're here to help people feel their best and make grocery shopping, cooking, and enjoying healthy food easier than ever. So, we're creating the first-of-its-kind food experience that puts people (and the planet) first, built for busy lives and individual needs.

We are a distributed team built on top talent from over 25 states across the U.S. While we have an office in NYC, we support employees creating “offices” wherever they are. We believe in fostering team connection and collaboration across all of our “offices” - so don’t expect to be online at 6 am to make a meeting if you’re on the West coast. Expect to attend regular team building events, and to be able to work from the beach every once in a while. Expect to be treated like an owner who cares about our common goal, not someone who has to clock in and out of work.

About The Role

We’re looking for an experienced and detail-oriented Director of Supply Chain to drive end-to-end supply chain efficiency, maximize margins and ensure a best-in-class customer experience. In this role you will be responsible for all aspects of demand planning, inventory allocation, food products purchasing, and in-stock performance. In addition to leading a team of buyer-planners, this role will provide oversight and strategic direction to the company’s Netsuite ERP system roadmap.

The ideal candidate is extremely organized, self-starting, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and has a strong analytical aptitude with the ability to extract, interpret and clearly communicate findings and recommendations. Our product demand is heavily influenced by our AI powered algorithm that fills customer boxes based on their preferences; therefore, this candidate will need to be comfortable diving deep with various parts of the organization to solve complex challenges and jointly develop a longer term roadmap for system integration between our homegrown algorithm/back end systems and our ERP/WMS systems.

You will be joining a greater Operations team responsible for our sourcing, supply chain, culinary, fulfillment and logistics functions.
