Welcome to MECCA-MAGINATIONS, our in-house brand incubator and innovation engine, often referred to as the Living Lab of Beauty. This is where our beauty intel and know how takes shape, evolving into products and launch into the world. From MECCA COSMETICA to MECCA MAX and KIT, this team builds brands that don’t just sit pretty on shelves—they spark joy, disrupt categories, and set new standards.
We’re searching for a Head of Supply Chain & Operations to help bring even more of our boldest ideas to life.
The role you could play:
This is not a standard supply chain gig. This is fast-paced, boundary-breaking, global beauty innovation. You'll architect the systems that power product from concept to customer—ensuring speed, quality, scale, and sparkle every step of the way.
You’ll partner with brand, product, and commercial teams to turn visionary plans into seamless, scalable operations. And you’ll do it with the confidence, agility, and precision of someone who’s been here before—because you have.
- Designing and leading a high-performing end-to-end supply chain—from planning and procurement to production, logistics, and delivery, across multiple brand lifecycles.
- Owning the global supply chain strategy for MECCA-Maginations, building scalable systems that support brand growth across D2C, retail, and wholesale channels.
- Establishing and embedding an S&OP process that seamlessly integrates planning across commercial, product, finance and operations.
- Negotiating and managing strategic vendor partnerships, with a sharp focus on performance metrics, cost efficiencies, and long-term brand-building relationships.
- Simplifying and rationalising our supplier network to enhance speed, reduce complexity, and improve resilience across categories and regions.
- Driving inventory planning and forecasting excellence, ensuring stock flow aligns with demand, promotional activity, and brand vision.
- Working hand-in-hand with Product Development and Brand teams, bringing operational insight to the creative process and building bespoke supply chain solutions that fit each brand.
- Building and scaling a future-ready team and structure, ensuring MECCA-Maginations is set up for global growth, innovation—and the unexpected.
What You Will Bring:
- Deep end-to-end supply chain expertise—from planning and procurement to fulfillment, across D2C, retail and omni-channel.
- Global mindset—you’ve navigated international logistics, compliance, and supplier networks like a pro.
- Beauty or FMCG experience—bonus points if you can talk shelf life strategy in your sleep.
- COGS clarity and forecasting finesse—you can design an S&OP process that would make any CFO swoon.
- A knack for vendor magic—you build strong partnerships and hold them to strong KPIs.
- An instinct for simplification—rationalising suppliers, reducing lead times, and unlocking flow is your happy place.
- Team builder energy—you love leading high-performing, purpose-fuelled teams that grow with the business.
