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)
