About The Position

Levels is the largest US protein brand not owned by a conglomerate, experiencing rapid growth across major retailers like Costco, Sam's Club, Amazon, and H-E-B, with over 9,000 points of distribution projected for this year. The company is recognized for its commitment to simplicity, using grass-fed whey concentrate and minimal ingredients, and has received the Clean Label Project's Purity Award. Levels is in an aggressive expansion phase, launching in new retail locations and developing a brand-new product line. This newly created Supply Chain Planning Manager role is a hands-on position crucial for operational execution, encompassing MRP, co-manufacturer coordination, and multichannel logistics. The manager will also be responsible for directly managing and developing a junior Supply Chain Planner within a lean three-person team. This role will be a cornerstone for the new product line launch, taking ownership of supply planning from its inception, including co-manufacturer onboarding, MRP setup, material sourcing, and inventory buildout, all while ensuring the stability of the core business. It is a high-ownership position within a fast-moving team, ideal for a planner seeking to expand their scope and gain their first people-management experience without losing direct involvement in execution.
