 Role (Overview Of The Position)
 
 
 
 The Director of Supply Chain is a senior leadership role responsible for building and managing the end-to-end supply chain infrastructure that will scale HOME GROWN from :$20M to $100M+ in revenue. This position owns the full physical flow of goods: raw material procurement (domestic and international), vendor management including overseas finished goods suppliers, production coordination with Heirloom Organics, inventory planning and demand forecasting, inbound/outbound logistics, and multi-channel fulfillment across Amazon FBA, TikTok Shop (MCF and FBT), Shopify, Home Depot dropship, and future retail partners.
