We are seeking a seasoned Supply Chain Leader to design, build, and scale our end-to-end supply chain function from the ground up. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced supply chain leader who thrives on establishing infrastructure, processes, systems, metrics and teams in a start-up environment that has yet to create a formalized supply chain operation. The ideal candidate has a proven track record of building supply chain organizations, not just managing or maintaining an existing one. This candidate operates equally well at both strategic and tactical levels. This candidate also thrives in negotiations, contracts, metrics and mentoring. Key to success is the ability to transition product from development stage to volume manufacturing at hyper speed.

What You Will Be Doing?

Design the supply chain organization structure from scratch, including strategic sourcing, procurement, planning, and logistics.

Develop strategy for supplier footprint, logistics, and warehousing to establish efficient, reliable, and repeatable delivery of product to Persona’s manufacturing site.

Establish process and metrics for supplier qualification to meet Persona’s demanding plan for scale.

Scrutinize suppliers' ability to repeatedly meet qualification levels as volume scales (Supplier Validation).

Develop and maintain vendor partnerships; create scorecards for evaluation of supplier performance; manage RFx processes (RFI, RFP, RFQ).

Establish a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and cross-functional collaboration.

Develop and execute a multi-year supply chain strategy aligned with business growth objectives.

Lead make-vs-buy decisions and “risk buy” requirements.

Implement an SOP process.

Establish a warehousing strategy, including WMS selection, location, ownership, and logistics.
