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 will oversee Demand Planning, Supply Planning, Inventory Management, and Logistics and build a world-class planning capability that connects commercial strategy with operational execution. The Director will lead an established team of planning and logistics managers, advance an ongoing demand planning transformation, and develop a more integrated, forward-looking Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process. This hands-on leadership role calls for translating complex data into clear business decisions, balancing customer service with inventory and cost, aligning functions, and developing a high-performing team. The leader will set direction and develop the organization while remaining close to operational details to challenge assumptions, solve problems, and drive improvements. In the first year, success includes an on-time monthly S&OP cycle that concludes with clear decisions, accountabilities, and timely execution; an Executive S&OP process that looks ahead and surfaces risks; and a trusted demand plan supported by consistent measurement and continuous improvement. The role will also establish inventory policies that protect service while reducing excess and obsolete stock, clarify decision rights between planning and manufacturing scheduling, and deliver measurable improvements in customer service, forecast accuracy, schedule attainment, inventory turns, and supply chain cost. The Director will develop team members and a long-term organizational plan for a resilient Supply Chain. This is a remote position in a collaborative, values-based environment spanning office work, manufacturing operations, and warehouse and logistics operations. The role includes regular engagement at GoMacro's manufacturing headquarters in Viola, Wisconsin, and travel of up to 25% per year. Time in manufacturing and warehouse areas requires adherence to food safety, Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), and safety requirements.
