Head of Global Supply Chain

HEAD OF GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN

At Source86, we help food manufacturers solve sourcing and logistics challenges with precision, creativity, and a partnership mindset. We import ingredients from 15+ countries, support some of the fastest-growing brands in the U.S., and operate with a boutique, high-touch model that’s redefining what a supply chain partner looks like.

As we scale, we’re hiring a Head of Global Supply Chain to lead and evolve our supply chain strategy — across procurement, logistics, and integrated planning. This is a mission-critical leadership role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, builds systems that scale, and rolls up their sleeves to get things done.

🔍 Role Overview

The Head of Global Supply Chain will own the full lifecycle of Source86’s global supply chain — from purchase order execution, to international shipping and delivery, to planning and alignment across sales, sourcing, and finance. This role is both strategic and hands-on: you’ll lead a growing team, work cross-functionally with leadership, and build the infrastructure that supports our next stage of growth.

• Experience in the food, ingredients, or CPG industry preferred
• Certifications such as CSCP, CPIM, or PMP are a plus

🌟 Why Source86?

We’re not a traditional supply chain company. We operate like a boutique consultancy — blending global reach with high-touch support and creative problem-solving.

At Source86, your work won’t just move containers — it will shape strategy, enable growth, and unlock value for customers and partners across the industry.

You’ll be joining a mission-driven team that values trust, ownership, and transparency. We work hard, we move fast, and we build systems that serve real people — both inside and outside the business.

🌍 Remote Work & Flexibility

This is a full-time, fully remote role. While we operate globally, the role requires strong overlap with U.S. business hours and some flexibility to support time-sensitive operations across time zones. We’re outcome-oriented and believe in smart time management, not micromanagement.

At Source86, "86" means a problem that couldn't be solved. We've built our entire business around solving those problems. Click Here to learn about us.
