Levels is the largest US protein brand not owned by a conglomerate — scaling across Costco, Sam's Club, Amazon, H-E-B, and more, with 9,000+ points of distribution in sight this year. This newly created Supply Chain Planning Manager seat is where the operational execution lives — owning MRP, co-manufacturer coordination, and multichannel logistics while developing a junior Planner on a lean three-person team.

Levels

Built around radical simplicity (grass-fed whey concentrate, 6–8 ingredients, no artificial sweeteners or flavors), Levels is one of fewer than 30% of protein brands to earn the Clean Label Project's Purity Award — which screens for 400+ contaminants including heavy metals and pesticides.

And they're in aggressive expansion mode. Recent launches include Sam's Club (278 locations, April 2026) and H-E-B in Texas, on top of an existing footprint across Costco, Walmart, Target, Kroger, Meijer, Wegmans, and Amazon. The team is projecting 9,000+ physical points of distribution in 2026 — and, on top of all that, Levels is expanding into a brand-new product line.

That's where this role comes in.

What You Will Do

The Supply Chain Planning Manager is a newly created, hands-on role sitting between the Senior SC Director (strategy, forecasting, EDI) and the SC Planner (daily fulfillment execution). You'll be the operational accountability layer — owning MRP, co-manufacturer execution, and finished goods logistics while directly managing and developing the SC Planner. You'll also be a cornerstone of Levels' new product line launch, owning supply planning from day one: co-man onboarding, MRP setup, material sourcing, and inventory buildout — all without disrupting the core business.

It's a lean, high-ownership seat on a fast-moving team — ideal for a planner who wants to go deeper on scope and step into their first people-management reps without losing hands-on execution.

Responsibilities:

Review MRP output and create purchase order proposals for raw materials and packaging
Purchase finished goods from co-manufacturers, including PO creation, order confirmation, production scheduling coordination, and delivery tracking
Review co-manufacturer end-of-day reports and manage expedites or production issues
Manage finished goods release, delivery scheduling, and inventory receipt into the warehouse
Own accountability (A) for logistics and fulfillment operations: Amazon, Costco, Sam’s Club shipments, shipped load reports, late shipment follow-ups, receipt confirmations, and packaging movements
Own accountability (A) for invoicing, pricing, and claims: EDI invoicing, invoice discrepancies, Amazon price tracker
Provide consultation (C) on quality issues tracking, VAS, executive reporting, and escalation resolution
Directly manage and develop the SC Planner, ensuring daily execution meets service level and accuracy standards
Support new product line supply planning from launch: co-manufacturer onboarding, MRP setup, material sourcing, and inventory buildout
Partner with the Sr. SC Director on inventory reconciliation and S&OP inputs

Who You Are

A hands-on planner with strong operational judgment who owns outcomes, not just tasks. Equal parts systems thinker and doer — able to zoom into a PO discrepancy at 9 a.m. and zoom out to an S&OP input at 2 p.m. A builder and a manager — ready to take on a direct report without losing your hands in the work. Motivated by clean execution.

Qualifications:

5+ years of supply chain planning experience in CPG, food, or beverage
Direct experience with MRP systems, purchase order management, and co-manufacturer coordination
Familiarity with 3PL operations, EDI, and retail compliance (Costco, Amazon FBA preferred)
Experience with inventory management systems (CIN7, NetStock, or similar ERP/planning tools)
Proven ability to manage and develop junior team members while taking full ownership of team output and outcomes
Strong analytical skills with comfort in Excel, demand planning tools, and data reconciliation
Excellent communication skills for cross-functional coordination with procurement, finance, and logistics partners
Self-directed and ownership-oriented, comfortable making decisions independently in a fast-paced environment without requiring step-by-step guidance
Experience supporting a new product line launch (beverage, functional food, or adjacent category) a plus
Background in protein, sports nutrition, or functional food brands a plus
Familiarity with Amazon Vendor Central or Seller Central logistics a plus
