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)
