Director of Supply Chain Distribution

Body Art Alliance (BAA) is a global house of brands powering the world of tattooing, piercing, and body jewelry. From machines and inks to jewelry trusted by artists worldwide, our products fuel creativity, craftsmanship, and self-expression.

We move fast, think big, and care deeply about our people and our customers. Operational excellence matters here but so does culture, collaboration, and having fun while building something great.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a hands-on, high-impact Director of Supply Chain & Distribution to lead our U.S. distribution operation in Maryland. This is a senior leadership role for someone who loves building strong teams, fixing what’s broken, scaling what works, and making operations hum.

You’ll own the full flow from forecasting and inventory to pick/pack/ship while partnering across the business to support growth, delight customers, and keep our artists stocked and inspired.

If you get energized by metrics, movement, people, and progress, and you want to lead in an industry that’s anything but boring, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

• Lead day-to-day distribution center operations (receiving, warehousing, fulfillment, shipping) with a relentless focus on accuracy, safety, and efficiency.

• Own forecasting and SIOP, aligning supply and demand so the right product shows up at the right time.

• Drive inventory accuracy, service levels, and cost discipline—without killing momentum or culture.

• Build, coach, and level-up a team of supply chain and distribution leaders.

• Establish KPIs, operating rhythms, and dashboards that people actually use.

• Lead continuous improvement initiatives (Lean mindset strongly encouraged).

• Partner closely with Procurement, Sales, Finance, Manufacturing, and external vendors.

• Scale systems, processes, and infrastructure as the business grows.

How We’ll Measure Success

• Inventory accuracy 98.5%

• OTIF 97%

• Dock-to-stock within 24 hours

• Shrink 0.2% | Picking accuracy 99.7%

• Faster cycle times, stronger teams, happier customers

Who You Are

• A proven supply chain / distribution leader with 10+ years of progressive experience.

• Comfortable running a DC and thinking strategically about what comes next.

• Strong in forecasting, inventory management, procurement, and logistics.

• Data-driven, systems-savvy (ERP/WMS/TMS; NetSuite a plus).

• A people-first leader who sets clear standards, gives honest feedback, and builds strong benches.

• Experienced in continuous improvement (Lean / Six Sigma experience preferred).

• Excited by fast-paced environments and not afraid to roll up your sleeves.

• Willing to travel up to 30%.

Why BAA

• You’ll lead in a creative, global industry that celebrates individuality and craftsmanship.

• You’ll have real influence, real ownership, and a seat at the table.

• You’ll work with a leadership team that values clarity, accountability, and culture.

• You’ll help shape the future of how some of the most iconic brands in body art operate.

This is more than a supply chain role—it’s a chance to build something meaningful in an industry fueled by passion.
