Overview
HumanCentric is seeking an experienced Supply Chain Manager to optimize our operations while driving down costs, reducing risk, and improving the performance of our global supply chain. This broad (strategic and hands-on) role includes sourcing, contract manufacturer management, logistics / transportation / warehousing, and inventory planning and distribution.
You are someone who has done this before at a product-based company that uses contract manufacturers, and you’re looking for a new challenge at a growing company in a growing market.
You will be Employee #12. You will have a tremendous impact on our company on a daily basis.
This is a 100% remote position, and we are open to both domestic and international candidates. All communications will be in English, so you must be fluent in both verbal and written English.
About HumanCentric
HumanCentric was founded in 2015 and is a profitable, high-growth, eCommerce brand. We design our own line of products that help customers create a well-designed and comfortable workspace. We ship tens of thousands of products each month to customers around the world, and are run by a small and driven team who makes it all come together.
We have grown significantly as the remote work trend continues to increase, and we believe that we have a tremendous opportunity to become an impactful brand and thought leader in the emerging work-from-home space.
Who We’re Looking For
To be a fit for this job, you must have…
- Prior experience in a supply chain role for a company using global manufacturing sources and fulfilling customer orders (either via your own warehouse or a 3PL).
- Excellent data analysis skills and a solid understanding of the relationship between supply chain and finance (working capital, landed costs, etc.)
- The creativity to accomplish a lot with less and a ferocious drive to continuously improve operations. We have built our company on the belief that the right person can deliver world-class results with minimal resources.

- Extremely good organizational skills and careful attention to detail.
- The desire to work in a lean, small-company environment.
- A strong interest in using new technologies and services to enhance business performance. We run on Netsuite, but use many other modern tools (BigQuery, Fivetran, etc) to optimize our data analysis and operations.

- Humility. If it’s part of running and building the business, nothing is outside your job description. And that’s something you value and appreciate.
