At Snackish, we’re creating the everyday snack for a new generation.
We’re vertically integrated (hello, Snacktory) scaling across North America in the U.S. and Canada, backed by a world-class CPG team that has a track record of building category-defining brands (and having fun while doing it).
If you’re energized by early-stage momentum, bold ideas, moving fast, and creating something people reach for every day, we're just getting started. Join us on the snackpack & play a key role in defining the future of everyday snacking.
We are proudly Female-Founded and led by an all-female identifying leadership team.
How your role will bring the vision to life:
This role is the engine behind Potato to Shelf. You will own the demand plan and S&OP;, secure the materials and packaging that keep our lines running as we add a second production line in 2027, drive cost optimization and waste reduction across our supply base and production, get ahead of supply risk before it becomes a crisis, and keep raw materials and finished goods moving smoothly through Snacktory.
Strategic Procurement & Sourcing
- Source and onboard suppliers across raw materials, packaging, and marketing materials, in some cases running RFPs to qualify new sources
- Collaborate on and drive supplier contracts, including exclusivity terms and floor stock agreements
- Own day-to-day supplier relationships, quotes, and lead times
- Establish and monitor supplier performance against key metrics: on-time delivery, quality, and compliance
- Own an annual cost savings initiative across raw materials and packaging, setting targets and reporting progress through negotiation, consolidation, and sourcing alternatives
- Build and maintain a risk mitigation strategy for the supply base, identifying single-source and high-risk inputs, developing secondary-source suppliers, and monitoring cost and market trends to protect continuity
- Own marketing and retail display materials, including shippers, Costco trays, and other displays, from structural design and dielines through artwork handoff, proofing, and print, partnering closely with Marketing and Creative
- Manage specs, costing, and lead times for display and marketing materials so programs land on time for retailer set dates and club programs
Planning & Site Operations
- Own inbound raw material planning, PO timing, supplier lead times, and delivery scheduling so materials land ahead of production need
- Coordinate finished goods release with our logistics team so product moves from Snacktory to our 3PL network quickly after production
- Provide the Site Director with clean data on raws availability and inbound timing to support production scheduling
- Own the monthly S&OP; cycle, from Sales & Demand Consensus through Executive S&OP;, bringing a explicit view of demand, supply, inventory, and risk
- Build and own the demand plan, partnering with Sales on customer forecasts and translating them into materials and production requirements
- Track rate of sale (ROS) by retailer and SKU,
feeding sell-through trends back into the forecast and inventory targets
- Oversee regular cycle counts with the Snacktory team to maintain accurate inventory
Systems & Data
- Review and update BOMs and yield/shrink data during assembly builds, partnering with the Site Director and Chief Manufacturing Officer on yield and cost variance analysis
- Lead waste and scrap analysis in partnership with Manufacturing, tracking scrap by line, SKU, and cause, quantifying cost impact, and driving reduction initiatives
- Validate receiving quantities and costs against POs, flagging and resolving discrepancies
- Conduct purchase price variance (PPV) analysis and collaborate with Finance on reporting and cost reconciliation
- Attend and contribute to Launch Pipeline Weekly meetings
- Use AI tools to speed up forecasting, PO and inventory workflows, and S&OP; reporting, cutting manual work as volume grows
What success looks like:
- Cost savings targets are hit annually across raw materials and packaging, driven by real negotiation and smart sourcing, not just tracking.
- Supplier risk is a solved problem, not a surprise: single-source exposure is known, tracked, and backed by qualified alternatives.
- Snacktory never runs out of raw materials: inbound timing is dialed in so production never waits on us.
- Finished goods clear the factory floor and reach our 3PL network on time, every time, with no backups slowing down the next production run.
- ERP data, BOMs, and yield/shrink numbers are clean enough that Finance and Operations build on them without double-checking.
- PPV analysis lands on time and holds up, giving Finance a number they can trus
