Operations & Supply Chain Manager – Consumer Brands (m/w/d)

About the role

Want to make operational processes reliable and efficient, rather than simply manage them?

Foodnova develops, operates and scales its own consumer brands in Health & Wellbeing. Our products sell through Amazon, our own online shops and other channels.

To grow, our brands need a reliable, economical and scalable supply chain. We are looking for an Operations & Supply Chain Manager (m/w/d) to independently run day-to-day operations and develop our processes.

Your mission

Ensure our products are available at the right time, in the right quantities and on commercially sensible terms.

Coordinate purchasing, production, warehousing and fulfilment so operations keep pace with brand growth. Work closely with management while taking independent responsibility for your area.

Your responsibilities

Supply chain & planning

• Coordinate current orders with manufacturers and suppliers.
• Plan replenishment based on sales data and forecasts.
• Monitor inventory, safety stock and product availability.
• Coordinate production orders and delivery dates.
• Identify potential stockouts early and develop solutions.

Logistics & fulfilment

• Manage operational interfaces with warehouse and fulfilment partners.
• Coordinate stock movements and replenishment to Amazon FBA.
• Monitor operational workflows across our sales channels.
• Resolve logistics issues and returns processes.
• Improve logistics costs and service quality.

Systems & processes

• Work with our ERP system JTL.
• Improve processes and establish reliable routines.
• Keep operational information complete and current.
• Develop clear operations reporting.
• Collaborate with Product, Quality and IT.

Product launches

• Coordinate the operational preparation of new products.
• Align orders, production planning and delivery dates.
• Identify risks and escalate them in good time.
• Help ensure stock is available for the planned launch.

Strategic manufacturer relationships and major commercial negotiations remain with management.

What you bring

• Several years of experience in supply chain, operations, purchasing or production planning.
• Practical inventory-planning and forecasting experience.
• Confidence using ERP systems.
• Strong organisational skills.
• An independent, solution-oriented approach.
• Confidence using Excel or comparable analysis tools.
• Good German and English for supplier and cross-functional communication.

Helpful experience

• E-commerce or consumer brands.
• Amazon FBA.
• JTL.
• External manufacturers and fulfilment partners.
• Food supplements, cosmetics or FMCG.
• Process optimisation and automation.

How you work

You think ahead. If a delivery is delayed, you assess the impact, develop options and coordinate a solution without waiting to be asked.

You appreciate clear processes and respond pragmatically when unexpected situations arise.

Why Foodnova?

Take responsibility for a central part of a growing consumer brand house. Work directly with management and actively shape our operations.

We value people who take ownership and build structures that work over time.

Small teams. Big ambitions.
