S. and Canada, backed by a world-class CPG team that has a track record of building category-defining brands (and having fun while doing it).

If you’re energized by early-stage momentum, bold ideas, moving fast, and creating something people reach for every day, we're just getting started. Join us on the snackpack & play a key role in defining the future of everyday snacking.

We are proudly Female-Founded and led by an all-female identifying leadership team.

How your role will bring the vision to life: This role is the engine behind Potato to Shelf. You will own the demand plan and S&OP, secure the materials and packaging that keep our lines running as we add a second production line in 2027, drive cost optimization and waste reduction across our supply base and production, get ahead of supply risk before it becomes a crisis, and keep raw materials and finished goods moving smoothly through Snacktory.

Strategic Procurement & Sourcing Source and onboard suppliers across raw materials, packaging, and marketing materials, in some cases running RFPs to qualify new sources Collaborate on and drive supplier contracts, including exclusivity terms and floor stock agreements Own day-to-day supplier relationships, quotes, and lead times Establish and monitor supplier performance against key metrics: on-time delivery, quality, and compliance Own an annual cost savings initiative across raw materials and packaging, setting targets and reporting progress through negotiation, consolidation, and sourcing alternatives Build and maintain a risk mitigation strategy for the supply base, identifying single-source and high-risk inputs, developing secondary-source suppliers, and monitoring cost and market trends to protect continuity Own marketing and retail display materials, including shippers, Costco trays, and other displays, from structural design and dielines through artwork handoff, proofing, and print, partnering closely with Marketing and Creative Manage specs, costing, and lead times for display and marketing materials so programs land on time for retailer set dates and club programs

Systems & Data Review and update BOMs and yield/shrink data during assembly builds, partnering with the Site Director and Chief Manufacturing Officer on yield and cost variance analysis Lead waste and scrap analysis in partnership with Manufacturing, tracking scrap by line, SKU, and cause, quantifying cost impact, and driving reduction initiatives Validate receiving quantities and costs against POs, flagging and resolving discrepancies Conduct purchase price variance (PPV) analysis and collaborate with Finance on reporting and cost reconciliation Attend and contribute to Launch Pipeline Weekly meetings Use AI tools to speed up forecasting, PO and inventory workflows, and S&OP reporting, cutting manual work as volume grows

What success looks like: Cost savings targets are hit annually across raw materials and packaging, driven by real negotiation and smart sourcing, not just tracking. Supplier risk is a solved problem, not a surprise: single-source exposure is known, tracked, and backed by qualified alternatives. Snacktory never runs out of raw materials: inbound timing is dialed in so production never waits on us. Finished goods clear the factory floor and reach our 3PL network on time, every time, with no backups slowing down the next production run. ERP data, BOMs, and yield/shrink numbers are clean enough that Finance and Operations build on them without double-checking. PPV analysis lands on time and holds up, giving Finance a number they can trust and act on. The demand plan is trusted across Sales, Finance, and Manufacturing, and forecast accuracy improves quarter over quarter. Shippers, Costco trays, and display programs land on time, on spec, and on budget for every retail launch. Waste and scrap are measured, understood, and tren
