- Supplier Excellence - monitor and drive performance with key suppliers including conducting supplier audits, KPI reporting, tackling non-conformance investigations, and driving continuous improvement.
- Cross-Functional Impact - Partner with NPD, Procurement, Technical and Planning to secure best-in-class sourcing and reduce category risk, championing ingredient safety and quality through strategic decision making.

What we're looking for in you
We’re looking for a technically strong and detail-oriented professional with experience in the FMCG sector - ideally food, supplements, or beverages. You’ll have a solid understanding of Prop 65 and FDA requirements, with the ability to manage multiple technical projects effectively. Strong organisational, communication, and influencing skills are essential, as well as the flexibility to travel across the US and internationally when required. You’ll be self-motivated, proactive, and comfortable working independently, with a positive attitude and the confidence to collaborate with suppliers and manufacturing partners. To be considered, you’ll need to be based in the Salt Lake City area.
And as always, we’re on the lookout for new Hueligans who love a fast-paced environment and are always striving to be their best.
