About us

Vow is a cultured meat company on a mission to feed billions and create food that’s good for your tastebuds, your health and your planet.

We’re bringing together cutting edge innovations in science, engineering, culinary and design to create new meats that meat lovers can choose selfishly because it’s nutritious and delicious, and we’re doing so in a sustainable way.

The role:

As we scale, so does the complexity of our supply chain. We’re now managing a growing number of SKUs, fulfilling customer orders across multiple states and countries, and working with 3PLs to keep things moving. We’re looking for a reliable and detail-oriented Supply Chain Associate to help keep our operations running smoothly and our products flowing where they need to go.

You’ll be responsible for making sure our products move efficiently from plan to plate, coordinating customer orders, tracking inventory accuracy, scheduling production, and working closely with Sales, Quality, Production and our logistics partners. This role is hands-on, varied, and a great opportunity to step into more ownership within a scaling, ever evolving, mission-led environment.

The experience/skills you will bring:
  • ~2–4 years experience in supply chain, operations planning or inventory management (ideally in food, FMCG or manufacturing)

  • Hands-on experience with production planning, forecasting and customer order fulfilment with experience working with 3PLs, co-mans or external manufacturing partners

  • Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems (e.g. Katana, Netsuite, DEAR) and a confident spreadsheet user

  • Working knowledge of LEAN principles and a love for finding more efficient, faster ways to get things done

  • A hands-on approach with a real bias to action. You’re as happy running stocktakes, packing orders, and keeping stock tidy and accurate as you are behind the scenes planning and organising.

  • Strong communicator who can work effectively with Sales, QA, Production and Logistics

You will:

Order & Fulfilment

  • Pick & packing orders based on FIFO and MLOR

  • Manage and fulfil customer orders across systems like Slack, Katana, and Fresho

  • Coordinate deliveries with 3PLs to ensure on-time, in-full arrival, while maintaining cold chain

  • Prepare export documentation and respond to customer order queries

Inventory & Planning

  • Regularly run stocktakes and cycle counts to keep our inventory accurate and trustworthy

  • Track finished goods across multiple sites, keeping stock accurate, traceable and compliant, ensuring only QA-approved products are picked and shipped

  • Maintain a short-term demand forecast and production/packing plan

  • Flag gaps in stock, packaging or materials readiness before they become issues

Process & Systems Improvement

  • Improve how we work by tightening workflows, building better tools or automating repetitive tasks

  • Support the development of dashboards, alerts, or SOPs to reduce firefighting and increase visibility

What success looks like:

Within 3 months, you will:

  • Be confidently managing day-to-day order fulfilment and inventory coordination

  • Have a clear view of stock across all sites and how it connects to customer demand

  • Be contributing to weekly planning conversations with accurate data and insights

Within 6 months, you will:

  • Be running short-term planning and order workflows independently

  • Have improved at least one key process, whether it’s reducing stock issues, simplifying fulfilment, or improving how we track things

  • Be a go-to person for keeping things running smoothly across supply

Within 12 months, you will:

  • Have helped level-up how we plan, fulfil and manage inventory across the business

  • Be consistently preventing issues before they happen, not just reacting when they do

  • Be a trusted operator who brings calm, clarity and structure to a fast-moving team

Who we are and why join:
  • We are building a diverse, mission-led dream team of “Vowzers.” Our mission is to make food products for everyone. To do that well we need a workforce that’s representative of the people we serve. We celebrate multiple approaches and points of view - so we’re building a culture to match. Be yourself and come as you are.

  • Work on cutting-edge technology. We’re bringing together cutting-edge innovations in science, engineering, and food, to recreate the world’s most tantalising and unique culinary experiences. All without compromising on ethics or our planet along the way. Since our inception in 2019, we have held the title of being the first startup to cultivate meat from the cells of an undomesticated animal, been called The Spaceship of the cultured meat industry by Forbes and launched our first product under the brand Forged in some of the hottest restaurants in Singapore.

  • Work with and learn from the best. Our team includes some of the world’s top scientists, innovators, operators, and creatives with decades of industry experience. Despite our experiences though, we all strive to build, break, learn, and repeat. We see the impossible as temporary and strive to learn and support our company and fellow Vowzers' growth as much as possible.

  • We’re fully funded and ready to go. We are a growing Aussie biotech start-up backed by Blackbird Ventures, Square Peg Capital, Grok Ventures, Tenacious Ventures, P7 Ventures, Toyota Ventures, and PeakBridge VC.

Vow perks and benefits:
  • Everyone is an owner. In addition to competitive base salaries, each and every ‘Vowzer’ owns equity in the company so we can all benefit from our hard work and future success.

  • Generous paid parental leave. We offer 8 weeks of paid caregiver leave and an additional 8 weeks paid leave for the birth giver.

  • Generous relocation budget & support. Support for interstate or overseas team members and their families.

  • Unlimited personal leave. At Vow we recognise that sometimes sh*t happens. We don’t want you to stress about work when you need to deal with an emergency or are struggling with something truly difficult. We offer unlimited personal leave to empower you to truly bring your best self to work every single day.

  • Heaps of tasty samples from our culinary centre. Our fantastic "food inventors" on the Vow team are always cooking up new product prototypes, and all Vowzers are given the opportunity to taste, give feedback, and learn from their culinary prowess.

  • An awesome converted warehouse “campus” in Alexandria. Complete with a glass-walled lab, 2 factories, shower and towel service, bike rack, free snacks, a culinary centre and plenty of collaboration and chill zones.

  • Human and dog friendly office! An inclusive community and culture, in a welcoming office, complete with friendly “Vowzer” dogs!

  • A variety of social clubs. We encourage all our Vowzers to build the culture with us and share what you love by creating social clubs across the business. From book clubs to hiking groups, we’re always looking for ways to learn and engage with our team.
