The ideal candidate is commercially minded, highly organized, detail-oriented and proactive, with the ability to balance strategic projects with day-to-day supplier management and urgent supply chain needs. You’re willing to be hands-on, in the weeds and comfortable rolling up your sleeves to get things done, whilst also able to flex to higher level strategy, too. 

This role reports to our Operations Manager (whose role is focused on Procurement, Commercialization and Cost-Opt), and is ideally based in NYC, coming into the office 3 days a week.
