Executive

🚀 Lead the Engine Behind One of the Top 5 Amazon Sellers in the US

📍 Role: VP, Supply Chain & Operations
📍 Location: San Diego, CA 92101 (Onsite at Symphony Towers) | ~25% travel to DFW warehouse
💰 Compensation: $250,000–$350,000+

Luminize isn't your typical eCommerce company. We're one of the top 5 Amazon sellers in the US — and we're building the operational backbone to scale what comes next. This is a rare opportunity to step into a high-visibility executive seat and own the supply chain from end to end.

We're looking for a VP, Supply Chain & Operations who has built and scaled before — someone who thinks in systems, leads with conviction, and knows what world-class inventory execution looks like inside Amazon and FBA ecosystems. You'll report directly to C-Suite, set the strategic direction, and have full ownership of the teams, budgets, and outcomes that fuel our growth.

If you're a supply chain executive looking for real ownership, a seat at the table, and the chance to shape operations at scale — let's talk.

🎯 What You'll Own

  • The complete supply chain lifecycle — from procurement and inbound logistics through warehousing, inventory deployment, and fulfillment
  • Long-term supply chain and operations strategy tied directly to company growth, margin, and cash-flow objectives
  • Core inventory KPIs: Days of Inventory, In-Stock Rate, Overstock Rate, Inventory Turns, and Warehouse Productivity
  • Warehouse Operations in DFW — labor planning, throughput, safety, inventory accuracy, and cost control
  • Procurement strategy, supplier negotiations, and contract management across the vendor base
  • Supply chain and warehouse budgets with full accountability to profitability and working capital targets
  • Cross-functional alignment with Brand Management, Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Commercial leadership
  • Senior external relationships including Amazon/FBA and third-party logistics partners
  • Building, mentoring, and scaling high-performing teams across Supply Chain, Procurement, and Warehouse Operations — including developing your leadership bench

✅ What You Bring

  • 10+ years of progressive experience in supply chain, procurement, and warehouse operations — with a track record of executive-level leadership and measurable results
  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Finance, or related field; MBA or advanced degree strongly preferred
  • Deep experience managing warehouse operations and distributed inventory environments at scale
  • Proven P&L or working capital ownership with demonstrated impact on margin and efficiency
  • Strong command of inventory management within FBA or similar high-velocity fulfillment ecosystems
  • Executive presence — the ability to influence at the C-suite level, negotiate with strategic partners, and lead through complexity
  • A builder's mindset — you've scaled teams, stood up processes, and created operational infrastructure that lasts
  • Willingness to travel regularly to DFW (~25%)

🏙 You'll be based in Symphony Towers, one of San Diego's premier office spaces that offers:

  • Stunning views of the city and coastline
  • Free access to the building gym
  • Discounts at restaurants and cafes in the tower
  • Secure bike racks in the building and 24/7 paid parking in a nearby downtown structure
  • Close walking distance to 100+ of the top bars, restaurants, and coffee shops

Our office is designed for comfort, productivity, and collaboration, featuring:

  • Ergonomic standing desks and high-quality workstations
  • A fully stocked snack bar, espresso machine, and cold drinks
  • A welcoming team lounge area and sunny workspaces
  • A clean, modern space where we can do our best work together

🎁 Benefits & Perks

Our people are our #1 priority. Our benefits include:

  • Multiple medical plan options through Anthem Blue Cross
  • Dental & vision insurance (including orthodontia and annual exams)
  • Pet benefit program with savings on vet care, products, and services
  • Paid vacation (accruing up to 120+ hours/year with rollover and cap)
  • Paid holidays annually
  • Coverage for spouses/domestic partners and dependents under 26
  • Benefits begin on the first of the month after your hire date
