About Methodology
Methodology is an 8-figure food-as-medicine company operating with its own production kitchen, courier network, and national shipping programs. We serve busy, ambitious customers who invest in food that genuinely improves their wellbeing.
What sets us apart:
- Vertically integrated: In-house kitchen, logistics, fulfillment, and trusted partners for farming and packaging. You will oversee the entire supply chain from vendor quotes to customer delivery.
- Profitable and disciplined: We prioritize tight unit economics and operational excellence over growth at all costs.
- High bar, low drama: Our team values clear thinking, data-driven decisions, accountability, and direct communication above titles or politics.
Role Overview
As a Procurement Specialist, your mission is to ensure the right materials are in the right place, at the right time and cost, eliminating preventable emergencies. You will manage weekly ordering and inventory for cold-chain and food packaging, support warehouse and 3PL partnerships, and continuously benchmark the market to improve pricing and specifications.
This is a hands-on, spreadsheet-intensive role without an ERP system. You will maintain and enhance Google Sheets, trackers, and playbooks that must be accurate, clean, and easily transferable for backups.
Key Responsibilities
- Maintain par levels and weeks-of-cover for packaging SKUs including liners, ice packs, corrugate, jars, lids, labels, and inserts across HQ and 3PL facilities.
- Place weekly and monthly purchase orders with clear cadence, accurate lead times, and delivery dates visible to operations and warehouse teams.
- Track inbound shipments, reconcile receipts with purchase orders and vendor packing lists, and resolve discrepancies promptly.
- Collaborate closely with warehouse and 3PL partners to ensure smooth logistics and inventory flow.
- Regularly re-benchmark market pricing and specifications to optimize cost and quality.
- Maintain and improve procurement documentation, trackers, and playbooks for operational clarity and backup readiness.
Qualifications
- Experience in procurement, preferably in perishable food, DTC, or CPG industries.
- Strong spreadsheet skills and attention to detail.
- Ability to work remotely with Pacific Time overlap.
- Excellent communication and organizational skills.
- Data-driven mindset with a focus on operational excellence.
