Supply Chain Manager
at Lum Deodorant
Remote
Lume is a 4-year-old fast growing eCommerce deodorant and personal care brand that’s transforming the way that humans do hygiene. We recently joined forces with Harry’s, another disruptive brand with great people and infrastructure, to accelerate our growth. We are a team of self-starters that roll up our sleeves and get it done. Our style is collaborative, and very fast-paced so an adaptive personality is a must.
We are looking for a Supply Chain Manager to join our team!
The Supply Chain team at Lume works with both external contract manufacturers and cross functional partners (Fulfillment, R&D, Marketing, Analytics teams + more) to develop production plans, optimize inventory and ensure high customer fulfillment rates. Additionally, the team is responsible for the end-to-end supply chain, including product development, supplier relationships and inbound freight to our fulfillment centers. The Supply Chain Manager will own development of a time based supply plan and inventory strategy for multiple product categories at Lume. They will become the primary point of contact for these categories, both to internal cross-functional partners and external suppliers.
Responsibilities:
- Closely collaborate with a global network of suppliers, with a focus on long-term relationship building, capacity planning, and timeliness.
- While always keeping Lume’s vision in perspective, leverage your supplier relationships to secure capacity, lead times, and innovation to deliver value to our customers.
- Model scenarios and understand impacts of changes to demand, supply and network assumptions.
- Partner with the team to iterate and implement new processes by identifying process inefficiencies and making recommendations for continuous improvement.
- Communicate effectively with suppliers on all production and supply needs including but not limited to issuing purchase orders, managing short term and long term timelines, and future capacity needs.
- Optimize service and inventory levels by SKU at each location of the supply chain network (plant, co-packer, in transit, DC).

- 5+ years of experience working in operations
- 2-3 years of experience in supply and inventory planning, ideally in a CPG environment.
- Strong analytical and quantitative skills with ability to develop inventory models to support a complex supply network.
- Strong communicator. Ability to communicate well with various cross-functional teams and individual contributors, as well as your suppliers. Ability to cater to your audience, whether with peers, leadership, supplier senior leaders, plant workers, etc.
- You want the skus you manage to thrive! You are enthusiastic and committed at every stage of a product life-cycle from cradle to grave.
- Though you are comfortable working with virtual teams (Lume is 100% remote), you don’t mind traveling directly to the source of your suppliers (1 or 2 days per month) to ensure that we are in the most capable hands and are always achieving our supply objectives.
- Experience with ERPs. SAP is a plus
- Sense of urgency: bias for taking action. Self-starting capability required to achieve high expectations in a fast-paced environment

- You are a learner – always seeking to improve yourself, your team, and the world around you
- You are extremely organized, attentive to detail, and adept at working within deadlines
- Sense of humor — we take our work seriously and ourselves un-seriously
