Job Description

Vangst is seeking a Director of Supply Chain for one of our top clients — a leading, multi-state cannabis manufacturer known for innovation, quality, and operational excellence.

This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-growing organization at the forefront of cannabis production and technology. The ideal candidate is a hands-on leader who thrives in dynamic environments, excels at building scalable systems, and loves turning operational challenges into opportunities for growth.

About the Opportunity

The supply chain is the backbone of this organization — connecting innovation to execution and ensuring high-quality products reach consumers consistently. As the company continues to expand nationwide, the Director of Supply Chain will play a critical role in designing systems, optimizing logistics, managing vendor relationships, and driving process improvements across multiple sites.

This role requires a balance of strategic vision and tactical execution. You’ll collaborate closely with teams across production, finance, and operations — and regularly travel to company facilities and vendor locations throughout the United States.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and lead a supply chain strategy focused on scalability, efficiency, and reliability.
• Manage sourcing, procurement, and vendor relationships — negotiating contracts that balance cost, quality, and delivery.
• Oversee inventory planning, logistics, and fulfillment operations to ensure seamless material flow and on-time performance.
• Partner with production and finance teams to align supply chain initiatives with broader business goals.
• Drive ERP implementation and process automation to enhance accuracy, visibility, and transparency.
• Build and strengthen partnerships with domestic and international manufacturers (experience with suppliers in China is a plus).
• Analyze key metrics, identify bottlenecks, and lead continuous improvement initiatives.
• Mentor and develop team members while fostering a culture of collaboration, accountability, and curiosity.
• Ensure compliance with all applicable state, federal, and industry regulations while upholding the highest quality and safety standards.

What Success Looks Like

• Streamlined, transparent, and scalable supply chain systems.
• Strong vendor partnerships that improve reliability and cost-effectiveness.
• ERP and digital tools fully integrated across operations.
• Effective collaboration across teams, driving faster decisions and fewer bottlenecks.
• A respected, action-oriented leader who inspires others and delivers measurable results.

Qualifications

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5+ years of progressive experience in supply chain, logistics, or operations within manufacturing, CPG, or regulated industries (cannabis/hemp ).
• Proven success managing vendors, leading procurement, and optimizing inventory systems.
• Experience with overseas manufacturing (China ) and ERP system implementation or upgrades.

Skills & Attributes

• Strategic thinker with a hands-on, problem-solving approach.
• Strong analytical and decision-making capabilities; adept at interpreting data and acting decisively.
• Excellent communicator who can influence across departments and levels.
• Deep understanding of finance, cash flow, and operational efficiency.
• Proficient in ERP/supply chain platforms, Excel, and digital tracking systems.
• Adaptable, proactive, and comfortable navigating ambiguity in a fast-paced, evolving industry.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive salary: $70,000 – $100,000+, commensurate with experience.
• Full benefits package: medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and 401(k).
• Generous PTO and paid company holidays.
• Career growth opportunities within a , fast-scaling organization.
• A collaborative, forward-thinking culture that rewards initiative and curiosity.

Knowledge Areas to Highlight in Your Application

• Understanding of balance sheets, shrinkage, and SKU lifecycle management.
• Experience in demand planning, inventory accuracy, and vendor negotiation.
• Comfort working with overseas manufacturers and new vendors lacking mature processes.
• Financial literacy — able to see the big picture and make decisions aligned with cash flow and profitability.
