Director of Contract Manufacturing

We are the VMS Co-Op, a group of fast growing companies in the Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements (VMS) space. The VMS Co-Op includes OLLY, SmartyPants and future acquisitions to come! This position's home company is OLLY.​

Our Director of Contract Manufacturing is a pro at building strategic relationships while ensuring our partners deliver excellence every day. This high-impact role requires an experienced leader who isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves to get the work done. Superior business, negotiation, and analytical/problem-solving skills are key, in addition to a demonstrated ability to implement new supply chain practices, continuous improvement programs, and hold our partners accountable for delivering on commitments. As VMS enters new categories, this leader will work with our internal cross-functional teams to find best-in-class partners that enable us to bring disruptive products to market and deliver on the requirements of our high-growth business.

The ideal candidate is an accomplished supply chain leader with deep expertise in external manufacturing, supplier management, and strategic partnerships. You possess an ownership mindset, balancing strategic thinking with operational execution. You thrive in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments, are comfortable navigating ambiguity, and have a proven ability to influence stakeholders. You aren’t afraid of difficult conversations, nor do you shy away from seemingly impossible tasks. The team (both internal and external) relies on you to build bridges and find creative solutions to every problem, and you never fail to deliver.
