Supply Chain Lead in Lausanne

Lausanne Vollzeit Vor Ort
A

For one of the companies within our ecosystem, operating in the art industry, we are looking for a hands-on, entrepreneurial profile to build and scale its supply chain and logistics operations from the ground up.

Your mission

Build the company supply chain from 0→1, then scale it. You will own the end-to-end setup: from sourcing the manufacturers producing artworks and objects, through inventory and warehousing, to fulfilment and final delivery.

This is a hands-on role, part of the founding team. We are looking for someone who already knows how a great international supply chain works, but more importantly, knows how to build one in practice and is willing to do it.

Your responsibilities

  • Inventory & warehousing : build the processes for inbound, receiving, quality/condition control, inventory, storage and stock movements.
  • Fulfilment & logistics design and run packaging, fulfilment, international shipping, customs, delivery and returns.
  • Manufacturing & suppliers: source, assess and onboard manufacturers; negotiate costs, quality and lead times; manage production and supplier performance.
  • Partners & systems: select and manage necessary partners such as 3PLs, warehouses, carriers, customs partners and operational tools such as WMS/PIM/ERP.
  • Economics: understand what the supply chain costs, negotiate hard and make the right trade-offs between quality, customer experience, risk and gross margin.
  • Build for scale: define KPIs, improve processes continuously and decide what should stay manual, be automated, outsourced or brought in-house as the company grows.
  • Contribute beyond supply chain: as part of a small cross-functional team, contribute to broader strategy and help drive the company forward.
  • Innovation: stay close to new tools, technologies and operating models, and proactively bring ideas that can unlock more ambitious product and launch plans.

Who you are

  • 5+ years of experience in supply chain / logistics, ideally in e-commerce, marketplaces or physical products.
  • You have built or significantly redesigned supply chain operation s, not only managed an existing setup.
  • You are energized by the idea of building from scratch and rolling up your sleeves . You can think about the future warehouse network and then go on-site to understand why today's receiving process is too slow. Hiring and managing a team will come later.
  • Strong field knowledge of warehousing, inventory, 3PLs, international shipping and customs.
  • Experience with WMS, PIM and/or ERP systems.
  • Strong negotiation skills and a clear cost/quality mindset.
  • Direct communicator, autonomous and willing to jump in to help your team
  • French & English proficiency.
  • Capacity to be minimum 3 days in our office in Eysins

Bonus: Experience in art, luxury, collectibles or other high-value products is a plus.

What's in it for you

  • Founding ownership: you will be the first person fully owning supply chain and will shape how it works from day one.
  • High impact role: your decisions will directly impact our gross margin and the customer experience.
  • An unusual playground : art, high-value products, international logistics and diverse operational challenges. An ambitious company within a broad entrepreneurial ecosystem.
  • Grow with the company: if the company grows as planned, you will have the opportunity to grow the supply chain function further and build a team.
