Job-FAQs

You will oversee the entire end-to-end supply chain, including demand planning, inventory management, logistics, and procurement. Your primary responsibility is ensuring that the supply chain is optimized for growth while meeting rigorous KPIs for cost, quality, and delivery performance. A central mission is leading the digital transformation of the supply chain through a comprehensive ERP implementation. You will ensure that supply chain systems are integrated, automated, and capable of providing real-time data for both operational decisions and ESG reporting compliance.

Key learning opportunities for this job

This role offers the opportunity to lead a massive business transformation in the wine and spirits industry, providing deep exposure to the unique challenges of harvest-driven supply chains. You will gain hands-on experience in implementing AI-driven forecasting and advanced ERP modules. You will also be at the leading edge of sustainability frameworks, managing the transition toward B Lab’s new standards and Regenerative Organic Certification (ROC). This provides a masterclass in how to operationalize high-level ESG goals within a complex manufacturing and distribution network.

How does the ideal candidate look like (experience, skills)?

The ideal candidate has at least 10 years of supply chain leadership experience, specifically within manufacturing, food, or beverage industries. A demonstrated track record of leading at least one full-cycle ERP implementation as a business owner is required. Strong technical literacy in AI and supply chain automation must be paired with a background in ethical sourcing and supplier compliance. You should be a collaborative leader who can translate complex technical requirements into operational success and influence stakeholders at all levels of the organization.

Advice to stand out and make a successful application

Ensure your application highlights specific instances where you have used technology to improve sustainability outcomes. We are specifically looking for leaders who don't see ESG as a separate department but as a core component of supply chain excellence. Be prepared to discuss your experience with B Corp certification or similar rigorous ethical standards. Demonstrating an understanding of the California agricultural landscape and the specific logistics of high-volume consumer goods will also help you stand out.

What aspects of the company's sustainability is this role likely to focus on?

The role focuses heavily on supply chain transparency and supplier engagement. You will develop and enforce supplier codes of conduct and oversee human rights due diligence across a global network of partners. You will also drive the company’s B Corp performance, ensuring that operational metrics align with environmental and social pillars. This includes material traceability and supporting the transition of acreage to regenerative organic standards through strategic procurement.

What are the main challenges someone in this role might face?

The main challenge involves managing the change process associated with a large-scale ERP implementation in a fast-paced, scaling company. You will need to balance immediate operational demands with long-term system building. Additionally, aligning a traditional agricultural supply chain with evolving ESG regulations requires constant vigilance. Ensuring that all suppliers—from local farmers to international glass manufacturers—comply with our ethical standards is a complex, ongoing task.

How could a typical day look like for someone in this position?

A typical day starts with reviewing operational dashboards and demand forecasts with your planning and procurement leads. You might then lead a steering committee meeting regarding the ERP roadmap to ensure technical milestones align with business needs.

You wrap up by coordinating with logistics to optimize shipping routes and inventory turnover.

You will be recognized as the architect of the company’s modern supply chain. There is also significant opportunity to become a recognized expert in sustainable procurement. Successfully integrating ESG into a large-scale ERP system provides a transferable and highly sought-after skillset in the global corporate landscape.

The main stakeholders you might be interacting with

You will work very closely with the Chief Operating Officer and the Finance team to manage COGS and budget accuracy.
