The Role
Own end-to-end supply chain (logistics, planning, procurement).

Summary Generated by Built In

Vilgain is scaling fast - across DTC, retail and B2B, as well as across multiple international markets. Our supply chain will determine whether we scale profitably or break under the weight of our own growth.

We are looking for a Head of Supply Chain to take full end-to-end ownership of Logistics, Planning and Procurement. This is not a purely strategic position. You will define the direction, but you will also go deep into warehouse operations, forecasting models, inventory levels and supplier negotiations to make it happen.

What will be your mission?
  • Take full ownership of the end-to-end supply chain organisation across Logistics, Planning and Procurement.

  • Design and execute our supply chain strategy for international expansion, including network design, fulfilment setup and carrier strategy.

  • Lead major transformation projects such as automation, network redesign and new market launches.

  • Build processes, systems and teams that can support 5–10× our current volume.

  • Deliver world-class warehouse and logistics performance across speed, accuracy, service level and cost per order.

  • Improve customer availability and service levels while reducing supply chain costs as a percentage of revenue.

  • Establish a robust, data-driven S&OP and demand-planning capability.

  • Improve inventory availability while reducing excess stock and capital tied up in inventory.

  • Create clear forecasting, planning and inventory-management standards across markets and channels.

  • Strengthen our negotiation capabilities and supplier-risk management.

  • Hire, develop and inspire a strong leadership team across Logistics, Planning and Procurement.

  • Work closely with Finance, Product, Technology, Sales and other key stakeholders across Vilgain.

Who are we looking for?
  • You have 10+ years of experience in senior Supply Chain, Logistics or Operations roles.

  • You have successfully led Logistics, Planning and Procurement functions - ideally all three.

  • You come from FMCG, food, retail, manufacturing or high-growth e-commerce.

  • You understand warehouse operations, transportation, demand planning, S&OP, procurement and inventory management in depth.

  • You can combine strategic thinking with a willingness to go deep into operational detail.

  • You have strong analytical and financial skills and make decisions based on data rather than opinions.

  • You are comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment with ambitious growth targets.

  • You communicate clearly, can challenge senior stakeholders and are fluent in English.

  • You hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, Operations, Business or a related field.

Why Join Vilgain?
  • Join our dynamic, fast‑paced team where ideas come to life and boredom doesn’t stand a chance - just like our 100%+ yearly growth.

  • 5 weeks of vacation, flexible hours, and remote work options, get monthly shopping credits.

  • Stay connected through team events, breakfasts, and group workouts.

Skills Required

  • 10+ years of experience in senior Supply Chain, Logistics or Operations roles.
  • Proven leadership of Logistics, Planning and Procurement functions.
  • Experience in FMCG, food, retail, manufacturing or high-growth e-commerce.
  • Deep knowledge of warehouse operations, transportation, demand planning, S&OP, procurement and inventory management.
  • Strong analytical and financial skills; data-driven decision making.
  • Experience designing and executing supply chain strategy for international expansion, network design, fulfilment and carrier strategy.
  • Track record leading transformation projects such as automation, network redesign and new market launches.
  • Experience building processes, systems and teams to support 5–10× volume growth.
  • Strong negotiation capabilities and supplier-risk management experience.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, Operations, Business or related field.
  • Fluent English and strong stakeholder communication skills.
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, high-growth environment.
