VP of Supply Chain
Location: California or New York (on-site/regional travel required)
Reports To: President / Executive Leadership
About the Company
Our client is a large, fast-growing logistics and distribution platform operating a third-party logistics (3PL) model â point-to-point pick-and-pack combined with wholesale buy-sell operations, similar in structure to beverage alcohol or CPG distribution. The company operates multiple warehouse locations across California and New York, moves a high volume of units monthly, and processes well over $1 billion in annual wholesale transaction value. The company is profitable and growing at a strong double-digit rate year-over-year, with a workforce in the hundreds across its network.
The Opportunity
Our client is looking for a VP of Supply Chain to take ownership of supply chain performance and fulfillment P&L across their warehouse network. This is a build role for an experienced logistics leader who thrives in complex, non-standardized environments â not someone looking to import an existing playbook from a large, process-heavy organization.
You'll own the operational backbone of a business that moves an unusually diverse product set (varied packaging, varied handling requirements) through a fully regulated, tightly tracked supply chain â every unit accounted for, every day. You'll lead a large, multi-site team and be the senior voice standardizing how the company runs supply chain at scale across 7 locations spanning California and New York.
What You'll Own
Supply chain performance and fulfillment P&L across all warehouse locations
Standardization of operations, processes, and KPIs across a growing multi-site network (7 locations across California and New York, and counting)
Labor efficiency, cost-per-unit, and throughput across high-volume, non-uniform product flows
Warehouse management systems and infrastructure, including evolving beyond current platforms as the network scales
Compliance with state-level tracking and regulatory requirements across every unit handled
Building and developing a multi-site leadership team capable of operating at scale
What We're Looking For
15+ years of logistics and supply chain experience, with a strong track record in multi-site operations
Experience in regulated logistics environments (cosmetics, CPG, reverse fulfillment, or similar)
A builder's mindset: comfortable creating structure and process from the ground up in a complex, non-standardized environment
Not a fit for someone coming from a large, highly process-driven organization who relies primarily on existing playbooks â we need someone who can problem-solve in ambiguity
Deep fluency in operational and labor efficiency metrics (cost per unit, throughput, KPI design and tracking)
Experience with warehouse management systems; ability to evaluate and evolve systems infrastructure as the company scales
Based in, or willing to relocate to, California or New York
