Team Lead Procurement, Production & SCM/Inventory (Berlin)
Every is building the default way to eat better during the week.
We are a fast-growing food company operating both D2C subscriptions and B2B channels, currently across DACH and BNL, and growing rapidly 100% YoY. Our ambition is to keep scaling significantly in the coming years while unlocking a best-in-class customer experience.
Operations is the engine that makes that possible, and we are now building a strong team.
We're looking for a Team Lead Procurement, Production & SCM/Inventory to own the upstream supply chain.
What you'll own
End-to-end upstream supply chain - from ingredient and packaging sourcing through co-manufacturing partner management, replenishment planning, and inventory availability across our network.
Procurement & Sourcing
- Develop and execute ingredients and packaging category strategies across markets
- Lead supplier selection, negotiations, and ongoing SLA management
- Improve COGS through negotiations, specification work, and volume leverage
- Monitor market trends, commodity dynamics, and supply risks to derisk supply chain
Production & Co-manufacturing
- Manage external meal producers as strategic manufacturing partners (CMOs)
- Oversee production planning, capacity alignment, and quality governance
- Support New Product Introduction (NPI) processes from supply and production
- Build scalable governance structures across all co-manufacturing partners
SCM & Inventory Management
- Own S&OP and replenishment planning to ensure availability across markets
- Manage inventory levels and tracking consumption with an optimisation mindset
- Drive supply chain risk management, including contingency and dual-sourcing
- Coordinate capacity planning with production and fulfillment teams
Financial Ownership & Leadership
- Own CM1 P&L and drive margin improvement through cost savings and ops efficiency
- Set annual procurement budgets, tracking COGS performance, and reporting monthly
- Lead and develop the procurement, production, and inventory teams
- Work cross-functionally with Finance, Tech, Product, and the broader Operations team
What success looks like (12–24 months)
- Supply continuity is robust — stockouts and availability gaps become the exception.
- COGS reduces meaningfully through renegotiations, specification work, and waste reduction.
- Co-manufacturing partners operate predictably against agreed quality, capacity, and OTIF SLAs.
- S&OP and replenishment are structured, data-driven, and built to scale CM1 margin.
What we're looking for
- 6–10+ years in procurement, supply chain, or operations - ideally in food, FMCG, or a high-growth D2C or subscription business
- Proven track record in category management and strategic sourcing, including negotiations and contract management
- Experience managing external manufacturing or co-packing partners
- Solid understanding of inventory management, replenishment logic, and S&OP
- Strong commercial mindset with a track record of driving COGS or margin improvements with a data-driven mindset
- Comfortable managing complexity across multiple suppliers, SKUs, categories, and markets
- Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems and data-driven procurement and planning
- Hands-on leader who builds systems and processes — not just manages tasks
- Fluent in German & English (C2)
