About the job
The Opportunity
This is a senior supply chain role at a family-owned wine and spirits business with a growing portfolio of premium brands and an established international presence. You would report directly to the Vice President of Operations and own supply chain end to end: procurement, production, inventory, forecasting, logistics, and distribution.
It is a hands-on leadership role with direct reports, and it is not a narrow functional seat. You would work alongside Finance, Sales, and Operations, and help shape both the supply chain strategy and the systems that support it.
Why This Opportunity Is Worth a Look

Reporting line: Direct to the VP of Operations, with regular work alongside senior leadership
Scope: Procurement, production, inventory, demand forecasting, logistics, and distribution, across existing and new brands
Systems influence: You would drive NetSuite process implementation and optimization across the operation
Team: You manage and develop direct reports and build out the supply chain function
Business: A premium brand portfolio that is growing, in the wine and spirits category
Your Day-to-Day

Improve demand forecasting, stock management, and replenishment to keep inventory at the right levels
Manage supplier and vendor relationships, including ongoing price negotiations and service benchmarking
Lead cross-functional projects with clear plans, milestones, risks, and deliverables

Hands-on NetSuite expertise across supply chain modules, automation, and reporting, including NetSuite implementation experience
Strong experience across procurement, production, inventory, demand forecasting, replenishment, logistics, and distribution
Demonstrated success in process optimization, continuous improvement, and cost reduction
Advanced Microsoft Excel, including VLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH, pivot tables, and macros
Supplier and vendor management and negotiation skills, including pricing and service benchmarking
