Procurement & Logistics Manager

About Us

The human brain is the most complex object in the universe, yet society had accepted one-size-fits all approaches to cognition. The “solutions” (think coffee, energy drinks, and even a friend’s rx) were mediocre at best and frankly, made no sense to us. So, we created Thesis, the world’s first customized nootropics company. If you’ve never heard that word before, it’s just a fancy way of saying brain supplements. In five years, most will be taking nootropics on the daily and chances are, they’ll be ours.

With an exceptional efficacy rate, the world has taken notice — we’ve raised over $14M in venture capital, garnered interest from leading neuroscientists and athletes, and established ourselves as the industry’s leading brand. Now, we’re looking for incredible people to help us share the gift of enhanced cognitive function with the world. If you’re looking to be a part of a movement — one that involves both immense self-growth and an ambitious mission to pioneer an industry — we’d love to have you on the team.

About The Role

The Procurement & Logistics Manager owns how Thesis products are sourced, made, and delivered. You'll manage suppliers, contract manufacturers, packaging partners, freight, 3PL performance, inventory, and landed cost—with direct accountability for margin and customer experience.

This is a hands-on role with real P&L impact. You'll reduce COGS, run demand planning and S&OP, prevent inventory issues, and build the supply chain needed to support DTC, retail, Amazon, and wholesale growth.

How You’ll Make an Impact:

• Own sourcing and negotiation across ingredients, manufacturing, packaging, and freight, including RFQs, pricing, MOQs, lead times, and payment terms.
• Deliver measurable COGS savings through negotiation, alternate sourcing, packaging optimization, volume commitments, and freight consolidation.
• Run demand planning and S&OP, translating growth forecasts into purchase orders and inventory targets.
• Set safety stock and reorder policies to prevent stockouts and overstocks.
• Manage 3PL performance against clear SLAs for speed, accuracy, damage rates, and cost per order.
• Build supply chain capabilities for retail, wholesale, and Amazon, including EDI, routing guides, chargeback prevention, and inventory allocation.
• Own inbound logistics and landed cost, including freight forwarders, customs brokers, and import documentation.
• Partner with Quality and Regulatory on supplier qualification, COAs, lot traceability, and cGMP documentation.
• Improve the systems, processes, and reporting used to plan, purchase, and track inventory.

We’re Excited About Your:

• 3-5+ years in supply chain, procurement, or logistics, ideally in supplements, food and beverage, beauty, or CPG.
• A record of negotiating supplier agreements and delivering quantified cost savings.
• Direct experience managing 3PLs and freight partners against SLAs and cost targets.
• Strong demand planning and inventory management skills, including forecasting, safety stock, and reorder points.
• Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills and comfort building practical cost and scenario models.
• High ownership, sound judgment, and comfort operating without a large team or established playbook.
• Clear cross-functional communication with marketing, finance, product, quality, and operations.
• Practical fluency with AI tools such as Claude or ChatGPT.
