• Documentation & Organization: Rigorously document, structure, and maintain clear records of all vendor communications, lab results, ingredient specs, and operational workflows.
• Internal Alignment: Partner closely with our internal Product and Operations teams to ensure external timelines match internal product launches and stock needs.

Requirements

• 3+ Years Direct Experience: Hands-on experience in operations, supply chain, or vendor management (CPG, food/beverage, beauty, or chemical testing preferred).
• Lab & Manufacturer Experience: Proven track record coordinating ingredient testing, specs, or production runs with external partners.
