About Harry’s 

Harry’s Inc. is building a modern CPG company by putting people first and delivering against real unmet consumer needs.

The company’s flagship brand - Harry’s -  was founded by Jeff Raider and Andy Katz-Mayfield in 2013. After successfully launching and scaling Harry’s, Jeff and Andy saw an opportunity to bring their experience building Harry’s to other CPG categories where the consumer has also been historically underserved.

Harry’s Inc. has grown significantly over the last ten years, and is now made up of four brands -  Harry’s, Flamingo, Lume, Mando -  and Harry’s Labs, the company’s incubation and M&A engine. The company employs more than 900 people across the U.S., U.K. and Germany, and is the largest CPG company built in the last 20 years.

At Harry’s Inc, our mission is to Create Things People Like More — whether it's a product, an experience, or an internal tool, we believe in making the things around us better for our customers, and our team.

Our mission extends beyond customers and team, to the community broadly. We believe that the best business models make a positive impact. So, we set aside 1% of sales across Harry’s, Flamingo, and Lume to support our social mission, including through donations to our nonprofit partners.

At the end of the day, the key to our success is our amazing people. From chemists, mechanical engineers, CX associates, to creative directors, sourcing managers, and logistics specialists, the Harry’s team is composed of some of the most brilliant, diverse, and humble people you’ll ever meet. Our company is a place of inclusion, innovation, and deeply ingrained values.

 

The Harry's Inc working model is in-office Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Our beautiful 70,000 square foot SoHo office is decked out with bagels on Wednesdays and lunch on Thursdays, and fully stocked kitchens with snacks, coffee, and drinks everyday.  Can’t forget the free products and the opportunity to have some meetings without Zoom!

Job description:

The Customer Supply Chain Manager will play an instrumental role leading retail operational excellence from the shelf back, ensuring product availability and outstanding execution for the Harry’s and Flamingo brands at Walmart. This role is on our Customer Delivery Team - part of the Supply Chain organization, but embedded in the Retail team with direct accountability and ownership of Retail operations for Walmart.

This role will be responsible for collaborative planning, forecasting, and replenishment (CPFR) at Walmart. We also expect this individual to own and drive store operations, in stocks, OTIF, and chargeback mitigation, working end-to-end across the supply chain. For this role, we need an outstanding operational leader – one who understands how retail supply chain and in-store operations work, is able to self-start to address problems quickly, and takes a data-driven approach to prioritization and execution. This role will require strong analytical capabilities, attention to detail, communication skills, and the ability to both set strategy and drive execution.

Customer Supply Chain Manager responsibilities:

  • Lead retail operations activities within the relevant channel/retailer based on standard processes and data-driven insights; measure return on investment for all retail ops activities to optimize investments. 
  • Manage third party brokers to ensure the highest level of execution around channel needs and requirements for each customer
  • Develop reporting & scorecarding linked to operational success metrics and key performance indicators
  • Identify gaps in current operational practices and work with retail operations, channel sales directors, and external partners (HQ brokers, retail ops partners, retailer inventory and supply chain specialists) to create strategic roadmaps for progress
  • Lead integrated business planning (IBP) in partnership with Demand Planning to provide accurate inputs on sales and changes in the business

Supporting our Walmart business includes:

  • Conduct weekly replenishment analysis to ensure proper inventory flow between internal and external supply chains. 
  • Manage all aspects of retailer forecasts (Walmart Supply Plan), including Store In-Stocks, Event Management, Execution of New and Discontinued items, Reducing Waste, Reporting, and Analytics
    • Be an expert on all Walmart external resources. Understand not just how to navigate large data sets, but make clear recommendations back to the customer to drive sales. Working in external tools include:
      • Nova
      • Walmart 360
      • Aspen
      • Walmart DSS & Luminate
      • Familiarity with all resources in Retail Link
  • Identify opportunities for store operational process improvements and help drive implementation with our store operations partners
  • Build and maintain external and internal stakeholder relationships that will drive supply and demand efficiencies.
    • This is a customer facing role and owns the direct relationship with Walmart Replenishment Managers

Key requirements:

  • 4-5 years of experience in retail operations, supply chain management, retail sales, or customer supply chain roles.
  • Strong understanding of Walmart tools & resources including Nova, Item 360, Aspen, Supply Plan, DSS, Luminate, etc.
  • Knowledge of Supply Chain processes such as Forecasting & Replenishment, Financial planning, Store Operations, Inventory Management, Order (retailer) Management, and Distribution & Logistics
  • Strong project management skills including organization and communication, with an ability to self-start initiatives and lead multiple team members (including third-party partners)
  • Strong understanding of excel and AI tools, with ability to cut through data to generate, prioritize, and communicate key operational insights
