Head of Supply Chain (UK &amp; Europe)
at Who Gives A Crap
Remote
Want to challenge yourself in a high-growth environment AND make a difference in the world?
A bit about us:
We make eco-friendly products and donate 50% of our profits to help build toilets for the billions of people in need. We love doing good, and we happen to be exceptionally good at it too! To date, we’ve donated over $10 million AUD (roughly $7.4 million USD) to fund sanitation projects around the globe.
Our team is made up of over 150 amazing people in Australia, the Philippines, China, the US, and more recently Europe. We’re all working hard to reach our ambitious goal to have the greatest impact possible for people and the planet. How ambitious you ask? Well, it involves increasing our annual donation 10-fold in the next couple of years to get closer to our mission toilets and clean water for all!
A bit about the role:
Our Supply Chain team at Who Gives A Crap likes to think about movements. We aspire to transcend the boundaries of traditional supply chain teams and deliver company-wide value through our work. We have a passion for purpose driven business and get excited by the potential to influence lives and inspire change with our initiatives. And we want to have a craptonne of fun on the way.
As Head of Supply Chain, UK &amp; Europe you design and lead the execution of the regional supply chain strategies to unlock growth, customer delight, margin progression – and therefore impact through donations – as well as executing the road map to our sustainability goals. You will lead our existing Production and Logistics experts based in the UK and the Netherlands and work together to expand and deepen the manufacturing and distribution footprint we have across the UK and Europe.
You’ll help us to push the boundaries of tissue paper and also extend into new product categories and sales channels. You’ll achieve all of this by managing, inspiring and further building a kick-ass team, supporting a culture of empowerment and performance through great planning, goal setting and execution.
We’re a remote-first business and we’re open to amazing humans from anywhere across the UK and EU who are comfortable working with a growing local, and global team.
If you worked here this past month here are some things you might have been involved in:
<ul>
<li>Defined the long objectives and critical path for local tissue production, including leading Top-to-Tops with potential partners, designing long term paths for partnership and forming investment recommendations</li>
<li>Been a key leader in our ongoing transformation project, where you would have worked with external consultants to evolve and implement evolutions across our procurement approach, our supplier relationship frameworks and our reporting and performance measurement tools</li>
<li>Set up some 1:1’s fortnightly with your new team to develop them on the ambitious supply chain hiring map, and dive deep into their own journey plan in a way that enables and motivates the crap out of them (and you!)</li>
<li>Shared a message of love and appreciation for our full supply chain team and partners, being a Valentines card linked to a video of thanks and an inspiring real life story from our Head of Impact, Robin</li>
<li>Got creative about how you update and engage asynchronously in our weekly Big Floaters meetings (yes, this a real standing meeting), a focus group attended by a global supply chain leaders and key Exec members across Australia and the US to drive progress on our biggest Gross Margin projects, representing EU production and logistics projects</li>
<li>Grabbed some virtual coffee with our new Head of Sustainability to geek out together on what going carbon negative in our supply chain could look like, the critical path to get there, and how we’ll measure and manage progress with our partners</li>
<li>Approved some discretionary time off with no questions asked for a member of your team, because while we’re all doing our best right now, times are challenging and you put people first</li>
<li>Enthusiastically contributed to the scoring, setting, and review process of company-wide, Supply Chain, and personal OKRs through our teams, never letting our work lose sight of how our day-to-day and long-term efforts ladder up to our BHAG</li>
<li>Floated the idea to your 3PL partner of writing CRAP in solar panels on their roof as the funniest way to contribute to the mutual reduction of our footprint together, including a playbook on how that might be funded</li>
</ul>
