Senior Vice President (SVP), Supply Chain
New York City, NY
$250,000 - $275,000
SVP, Supply Chain will lead all decision making, analysis, and strategic which includes Supply Chain, Inventory Management, and Forecast Planning. Vital to the company’s success and ability to effectively scale, driving strategy and efficiency across one of the most critical areas necessary for the company’s ultimate success while designing and implementing a solution for a use case that has not previously been architected.
This role will lead the design and implementation of a first-of-its-kind inventory management system that dynamically manages real-time bi-directional inventory, performs in-field rebalancing, and optimizes inventory allocation across a set of physical assets. Working with both raw materials and finished goods that have a very specific shelf life that is specific to each SKU based on component parts, this role has to optimize inventory at both the raw materials master level and at the distributed, in-network finished goods level in order to maximize yield and minimize waste. In addition, this role is responsible for implementing a demand forecasting model that allows for a network level forecast that accurately predicts demand at a micro and macro level including allocation across a set of competing mobile assets.
The SVP will be also responsible for the company’s entire supply chain, bringing analytical rigor to the sourcing strategy while delivering the highest quality products. In addition, this group will design cost mitigation frameworks and perform simulation analysis to minimize non-overlapping raw materials and gain leverage by diversifying the supplier network. This role will be a member of the company’s Senior Leadership team and will be responsible for recruiting and hiring a highly analytical and execution-oriented team accustomed to succeeding in a high growth, highly dynamic startup environment.
