Director of Supply Chain

Coffee is "wakeup technology" that has not materially improved in 1,500 years. We are changing that. 50% of Americans have a gene variant that makes metabolizing caffeine difficult, causing jitters, bloating, and stomach problems. Most people shrug their shoulders and say, "Welp, that's coffee." Instead of shoulder shrugging, we've developed a priority blend of coffee, functional mushrooms, collagen protein, and nootropics to promote focus, energy, immunity, and gut health. No crash. No B.S. We've served 300,000 customers in the past 3 years. There are 150,000,000 coffee drinkers left. We're less than 1% done. Come join us for the remaining 99%.

We're looking for a Director of Supply Chain who will lead ingredient sourcing, quality control, and S&OP processes to ensure consistent, high-quality, and cost-efficient product delivery. This role owns the full supply chain lifecycle, from sourcing functional ingredients and packaging through production, fulfillment, and demand planning alignment, working closely with Operations, Finance, and Product Development.
