Every is building the default way to eat better during the week.

We are a fast-growing food company operating both D2C subscriptions and B2B channels, currently across DACH and BNL, and growing rapidly 100% YoY. Our ambition is to keep scaling significantly in the coming years while unlocking a best-in-class customer experience.

Operations is the engine that makes that possible, and we are now building a strong team. We're looking for a Team Lead Procurement, Production & SCM/Inventory to own the upstream supply chain.

What you'll own End-to-end upstream supply chain - from ingredient and packaging sourcing through co-manufacturing partner management, replenishment planning, and inventory availability across our network.

Procurement & Sourcing

• Develop and execute ingredients and packaging category strategies across markets

• Lead supplier selection, negotiations, and ongoing SLA management

• Improve COGS through negotiations, specification work, and volume leverage

• Monitor market trends, commodity dynamics, and supply risks to derisk supply chain

Production & Co-manufacturing

• Manage external meal producers as strategic manufacturing partners (CMOs)

• Oversee production planning, capacity alignment, and quality governance

• Support New Product Introduction (NPI) processes from supply and production

• Build scalable governance structures across all co-manufacturing partners

SCM & Inventory Management

• Own S&OP and replenishment planning to ensure availability across markets

• Manage inventory levels and tracking consumption with an optimisation mindset

• Drive supply chain risk management, including contingency and dual-sourcing

• Coordinate capacity planning with production and fulfillment teams

Financial Ownership & Leadership

• Own CM1 P&L and drive margin improvement through cost savings and ops efficiency

• Set annual procurement budgets, tracking COGS performance, and reporting monthly

• Lead and develop the procurement, production, and inventory teams

• Work cross-functionally with Finance, Tech, Product, and the broader Operations team

What success looks like (12–24 months)

• Supply continuity is robust — stockouts and availability gaps become the exception.

• COGS reduces meaningfully through renegotiations, specification work, and waste reduction.

• Co-manufacturing partners operate predictably against agreed quality, capacity, and OTIF SLAs.

• S&OP and replenishment are structured, data-driven, and built to scale CM1 margin.

What we're looking for

• 6–10+ years in procurement, supply chain, or operations - ideally in food, FMCG, or a high-growth D2C or subscription business

• Proven track record in category management and strategic sourcing, including negotiations and contract management

• Experience managing external manufacturing or co-packing partners

• Solid understanding of inventory management, replenishment logic, and S&OP

• Strong commercial mindset with a track record of driving COGS or margin improvements with a data-driven mindset

• Comfortable managing complexity across multiple suppliers, SKUs, categories, and markets

• Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems and data-driven procurement and planning

• Hands-on leader who builds systems and processes — not just manages tasks

• Fluent in German & English (C2)
