About Us
Snif is setting the new standard in fine fragrance. The search for high-quality scented products should be simple, accessible, and fun. We bring our customers what they want to smell and develop new, unexpected ways for them to incorporate fine fragrance into their daily routines.
Every scent we develop is designed to be an immersive experience. From the name, packaging design, and creative campaigns to someone's first spray, we want them to see and smell the quality behind every release. Our formulas are always made with top-shelf ingredients and are genderless, non-toxic, vegan, and cruelty-free.
Snif products are sold on our DTC site www.snif.co and can also be found at Ulta Beauty and Urban Outfitters. We've been featured across notable press outlets including, Forbes, Fast Co., WWD, Vogue, Allure, Cosmopolitan, NY Mag, Harper's Bazaar, and more. Additionally, we're backed by some of the most revered investors in the consumer goods space.
We're a lean team that's expanding quickly, and we're looking for someone who believes in our vision to shift the way people experience scents.
The Role:
Operations is the foundation of Snif's ability to create, deliver, and support a high-end product and customer experience. As the Supply Chain and Operations Manager, you'll support the strategy, execution, and performance of the operations team's function, which starts from when our products are manufactured and ends when they're in our customers' hands. This includes demand planning, all physical product production (procurement, supply chain, freight and logistics), and warehousing and fulfillment operations (inventory, outbound shipping, reverse logistics).
The core metrics you care about include demand and actual sales forecasts, inventory, on-time delivery, and the unit economics of each individual order (fulfillment costs, returns cost).
The individual we are looking for can do it all, which means executing business processes at their most granular levels and interfacing with vendor partners that help bring our products to life. At the same time, this individual is a self-starter and strategist with the ability to set long-term objectives and think critically about how we continue to deliver quality products and services efficiently.
This role will report to our Director of Operations and will work closely with our CX, Product Development, Marketing, and Creative teams.
