About the role

Grüns is scaling fast, and our supply chain has to move faster than the demand. As our Supply Chain Specialist, you'll be the execution engine behind it: owning purchase orders from creation to receipt, keeping inventory and inbound data airtight, and catching risk before it ever reaches a customer. You'll work side by side with our Director of Supply Chain and directly with our suppliers, co-manufacturers, and 3PLs. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role, and the work you do will protect product availability as we grow.

This role is part of our remote HQ! We have a fully remote, high-trust work environment - and also come together on a biannual basis for amazing off-sites where we can connect IRL.

In this role, you will:

• Own day-to-day purchase order execution, moving every PO through production, shipment, receipt, and exception resolution without dropped follow-up
• Run the operating cadence with suppliers, co-manufacturers, and 3PLs, so every confirmation, delay, decision, and committed date has one clear owner: you
• Maintain the source of truth for available, inbound, and at-risk inventory, so the team always knows what we have, what's coming, and what's in trouble
• Spot shortages, production delays, material constraints, freight risk, and inventory imbalances early, and escalate with a recommended action, not just a flag
• Build Claude-powered workflows that turn raw PO, inventory, production, and freight data into exception lists, supplier communications, meeting recaps, and decision-ready summaries
• Standardize reporting, documentation, and recurring workflows (and write the SOPs) so the team can handle higher volume with fewer manual errors

We're looking for someone who:

• Has 1-3 years in supply chain, operations, procurement, production planning, logistics, or inventory management, working close to the physical flow of product rather than only reporting on it
• Has worked in or around a fast-paced CPG, food/beverage, supplements, wellness, beauty, or other physical-product business (strongly preferred)
• Has coordinated directly with external suppliers, manufacturers, or logistics partners, whether in a full-time role or internship, and held them to deadlines across multiple workstreams at once
• Has hands-on experience with an ERP, inventory, or order management system (NetSuite-style) and can pull and organize clean source data without help
• Uses Claude or other AI tools daily for real operational work: writes strong prompts, builds reusable workflows, and validates outputs against source data before acting on them
• Can point to real examples of catching a problem early and driving it to resolution

Approach to the role:

• Highly organized and detail-oriented, without losing sight of what matters most to the business
• Proactive: follows up before the deadline, not after something is already late
• Comfortable in ambiguity, and builds structure where processes are still taking shape
• Takes extreme ownership: closes loops and communicates risk early
• Collaborative and low-ego, while still holding internal teams and external partners accountable
• Treats AI as a force multiplier on the work, never a substitute for judgment

Compensation & Benefits:

At Grüns, we're committed to providing a competitive total compensation package—grounded in market data that considers our size, stage, industry, and location. For this role, the base salary range is between $80,000 – $85,000 plus bonus depending on experience.
