About The Position

GoMacro is creating a Director of Supply Chain role to strengthen planning, alignment, and execution across its growing business. Reporting directly to the SVP of Operations, this leader oversees Demand Planning, Supply Planning, Inventory Management, and Logistics, with a mandate to build a world-class planning capability that connects commercial strategy to operational execution. The role leads an established team, advances an ongoing demand-planning transformation, and shapes a more integrated, forward-looking Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process. This is a hands-on leadership role in an entrepreneurial environment. The Director sets direction and develops the organization while staying close to the planning work to challenge assumptions, solve problems, and drive improvement. The role requires translating complex data into business decisions, balancing customer service with inventory and cost, building cross-functional alignment, and developing a high-performing team. In the first year, success includes running a timely monthly S&OP cycle that produces clear decisions and accountabilities; establishing a forward-looking Executive S&OP that surfaces risks and drives decisions; creating a trusted demand plan supported by consistent measurement and improvement; improving inventory policies; clarifying planning and manufacturing scheduling decision rights; improving customer service, forecast accuracy, schedule attainment, inventory turns, and supply chain cost; and creating team development plans and a long-term organizational plan for the Supply Chain. The position is remote and includes regular engagement at GoMacro’s manufacturing headquarters in Viola, Wisconsin. Time in manufacturing and warehouse areas requires adherence to food safety, Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), and safety requirements. Travel is up to 25% per year, including visits to headquarters and operational partners as needed.
