  • Support the demand planning team to build a powerful procurement tool to drive decision making that takes into consideration cash flow, warehousing commitments, and our reverse logistics model, all while meeting ever-changing consumer demand 
  • Identify forecast risks and develop mitigation plans, ensuring infrastructure can withstand unforeseen obstacles 

What you need to be successful:

  • 5+ years of experience in hands-on operations, supply chain, and/or logistics, including a leadership role in high growth start-up 
  • 5+ years in labor management, building and managing a diverse field operations (warehouse & delivery) team, ideally from an early stage
  • An understanding of macro-level supply chain trends, the confidence to make responsible & informed bets on those trends
  • In-depth experience with MRP, production planning, BOM management, NPI/ EOL, inventory target setting and supply allocation
  • Proven experience in finding and vetting established suppliers and partners, developing long-term relationships, and negotiating strategic agreements to ensure constant cost, lead-time, and quality improvements
  • Ability and desire to run initiatives end-to-end with full ownership

Who you are:

  • Based in NYC (or willing to move)
  • Excited about joining a small team and growing with Feather
  • Passionate about Feather's mission
  • Eligible to work in the United States

What you’ll get when joining Feather:
