Harry’s is a men’s grooming brand that was built out of respect for quality craftsmanship, simple design, modern convenience and for guys who know they shouldn’t have to overpay for a great shave. We are able to deliver exceptional value and experiences to our customers because we are vertically integrated. From grinding steel into fine razors blades at our factory in Germany to selling our products directly to customers on our website and select retailers, we own the entire process.

Since launching in early 2013, we have been blown away by the customer response to our brand. Today, we have over 3 million customers and are growing fast. We’re now looking to bring amazing people, like you, together to redefine the way people interact with brands online and in stores across the country.

About the Team

The Global Supply Chain team is a critical function that supports the planning, sourcing, quality, mass production, manufacturing, and inventory management for all products that we make. The specific functions within this team’s domain include Manufacturing (we have an owned blade manufacturer in Germany), Sourcing, Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP), and Quality. In short, the Supply Chain team is accountable for making and ensuring the quality of everything that we produce.

The Chief Supply Chain Officer (CSCO) will build the infrastructure (people, process, and technology) that will allow us to continue to scale across multiple channels, geographies, product categories, and brands in the years to come.
As one of the most senior executives at the company, the CSCO will provide enterprise leadership and help define, guide, cascade, and translate Harry’s strategy and values to the entire company. She or he will serve as the voice (and partner on behalf of) Supply Chain throughout the organization.
