About Us:

Hi there 👋 We’re Wild. We’re on a mission to remove single-use plastic from the bathroom, armed with our refillable, natural and scent-sational deodorants, body wash, haircare and lip balm – and we’ve only just started. We launched in 2020 and as a high-growth company, we’re already one of Europe’s fastest-growing start-ups 🚀 So, fancy coming along for the ride?😃

The Role:

We’re looking for a strategic thinker and firefighter who isn't afraid to get their hands dirty to be our Head of Supply Chain to own, develop, and execute our end-to-end supply chain. You will be responsible for: forecasting and procurement to logistics and distribution. Supply chain is the engine that fuels our ambitious growth trajectory. The person in this role must be a laser-focused, limit-pushing and efficiency-driving team player!

The operational firepower and business and consumer expertise required to lead this team is mighty, and has a widespread reach across the business when it comes to flawless delivery to contribute towards a more sustainable future that lasts.

The breadth and depth of influence this function has made it key to how we achieve our vision to build a sustainable future for our world.

🚀 Some of your responsibilities:

• Own and lead the entire supply chain – overseeing forecasting, planning, procurement, logistics, and distribution to support rapid business growth.

• Build and manage supplier partnerships – maintain strong relationships with external manufacturers and suppliers to deliver cost efficiencies, reliability, and quality.

• Ensure regulatory compliance – collaborate with our in-house Quality team to uphold all relevant standards and certifications.

• Skilled at anticipating challenges and disruptions, and deploying solutions to safeguard operations across raw materials, packaging, and logistics to guarantee continuous supply.

• Collaborate cross-functionally – partner with teams across product, finance, and operations to support launches, market expansions, and continuous improvement projects.

• Champion data and analytics – lead projects to enhance forecast accuracy, optimise inventory, and reduce costs through advanced modelling and insights.

• Own systems and reporting – maintain and improve supply chain tools, dashboards, and processes to drive performance visibility and accountability.

• Manage budgets and KPIs – oversee cost performance, supplier spend, and operational metrics to balance efficiency and quality.

🚀 What we need from you:

• Proven experience building and leading supply chain operations in a fast-paced, high-growth FMCG, D2C, or start-up environment.

• Deep expertise across end-to-end supply chain disciplines — forecasting, procurement, inventory management, logistics, and systems.

• Management experience, as you will play a pivotal leadership role in supporting our ever-growing Supply Chain Team

• Strong commercial acumen - you understand cost drivers, cash flow, P&L understanding and operational metrics.
