Head of Global Supply Chain

HEAD OF GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN

At Source86, we help food manufacturers solve sourcing and logistics challenges with precision, creativity, and a partnership mindset. We import ingredients from 15+ countries, support some of the fastest-growing brands in the U.S., and operate with a boutique, high-touch model that’s redefining what a supply chain partner looks like.

As we scale, we’re hiring a Head of Global Supply Chain to lead and evolve our supply chain strategy — across procurement, logistics, and integrated planning. This is a mission-critical leadership role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, builds systems that scale, and rolls up their sleeves to get things done.

Role Overview

The Head of Global Supply Chain will own the full lifecycle of Source86’s global supply chain — from purchase order execution, to international shipping and delivery, to planning and alignment across sales, sourcing, and finance. This role is both strategic and hands-on: you’ll lead a growing team, work cross-functionally with leadership, and build the infrastructure that supports our next stage of growth.

Core Responsibilities

Procurement Leadership

• Oversee day-to-day procurement execution, ensuring timely and accurate POs across global supplier networks
• Establish supplier management processes, including performance tracking, communication cadence, and issue resolution
• Partner with the commercial team to anticipate demand, align supply, and support customer success

Global Logistics Strategy

• Lead the design and execution of international shipping operations, including container management, freight coordination, customs, and final-mile delivery
• Build relationships with key freight forwarders, warehouses, and logistics partners
• Develop SOPs for exception handling, risk mitigation, and issue escalation
• Design and Implement systems and processes for real-time visibility and cost control

Planning & Forecasting

• Own the company’s S&OP process, driving cross-functional alignment between sales, finance, and sourcing.
• Oversee demand and supply planning, scenario modeling, and budgeting processes
• Define and design planning tools and dashboards to increase visibility, accuracy, and speed of decision-making

Strategic Leadership & Team Development

• Build and mentor a high-performing, remote supply chain team
• Define KPIs across procurement, logistics, and planning — and drive performance against them
• Evaluate and implement supply chain tech stack improvements (e.g., ERP, demand planning, TMS)
• Serve as a key voice in cross-functional leadership conversations around growth, risk, and operational excellence

What You Bring

• 10+ years of global supply chain experience, with deep leadership in procurement, logistics, and planning
• 3–5+ years in a senior level role with team management responsibilities
• Expertise in international shipping, supply planning, and supplier relationship management
• Experience working in high-growth, entrepreneurial, or fast-scaling environments
• Strong systems thinking and comfort with data-driven decision-making
• Track record of building scalable processes and delivering measurable operational improvements
• Excellent communication skills — with the ability to operate at both strategic and tactical levels
• Experience in the food, ingredients, or CPG industry preferred
• Certifications such as CSCP, CPIM, or PMP are a plus

Why Source86?

We’re not a traditional supply chain company. We operate like a boutique consultancy — blending global reach with high-touch support and creative problem-solving.

At Source86, your work won’t just move containers — it will shape strategy, enable growth, and unlock value for customers and partners across the industry.

You’ll be joining a mission-driven team that values trust, ownership, and transparency. We work hard, we move fast, and we build systems that serve real people — both inside and outside the business.

Remote Work & Flexibility

This is a full-time, fully remote role. While we operate globally, the role requires strong overlap with U.S. business hours and some flexibility to support time-sensitive operations across time zones. We’re outcome-oriented and believe in smart time management, not micromanagement.
