The Role  

We’re hiring an Junior Sourcing Analyst to own and optimize the entire value chain of our global ingredient and packaging supply network. This is a foundational leadership role tasked with building our sourcing function from the ground up — creating visibility, accountability, and long-term resilience across every one of our supply chains.
