Job description

Sourcing & Procurement Specialist

(aka : Scrappy STEM Problem-Solver Wanted) | Dispatch Goods

Bay Area (Hybrid) or Remote | Full-Time

About the Role

Were Dispatch Goods, and were building a circular packaging system to replace single-use waste with durable, reusable, injection-molded magic. To keep our supply chain humming, were hiring someone who is :

  • scrappy (like actually scrappy)
  • super relentless (you follow up until the thing gets done)
  • a creative problem solver (you love puzzles, chaos, and fixing whats broken)
  • STEM-minded (degree helpful but not required; brain wiring required)
  • early career or a new grad
  • excellent at something sports, robotics, side hustles, debate, mathletes, building weird stuff anything that shows grit + achievement

Zero experience in sourcing or supply chain required.

We can teach you what a mold, MOQ, or OTIF is.

We cannot teach scrappiness, grit, or follow-through.

What Youll Actually Do

Youll help keep our global supply chain running as we scale reusable packaging across the food industry. That means you will :

  • Forecast inventory so we dont run out of bowls, lids, cups, or plates
  • Own (redesign?) a circular inventory management system sounds simple, but is surprisingly complex
  • Issue and track purchase orders with factories in China, India, Vietnam
  • Herd vendors, freight brokers, and inspectors to hit deadlines
  • Negotiate pricing and timelines (nicely, but firmly)
  • Scout new suppliers when we need something better / faster / cheaper
  • Troubleshoot surprises (there will be surprises)
  • Support custom orders for big customers
  • Protect our supply chain from chaos, delays, and wait, what? moments
  • Youll be talking to real factories, solving real problems, and making decisions that directly impact operations.

    Youll Love This Job If You Are :

  • Shaving pennies off of products gets you very, very excited
  • You have a VERY high degree of ownership
  • The kind of person who figures stuff out before anyone tells you how
  • Someone who hates loose ends and loves tidy spreadsheets
  • The person friends call when something breaks
  • Equal parts analytical and scrappy (STEM brain + get it done energy)
  • Obsessed with learning how things are made
  • Energized by sustainability and building systems from scratch
  • Unafraid to send the polite-but-firm follow-up email again
  • You Might Be a Fit If :

  • You built a senior project, ran a club, captained a team, started a business, or excelled at literally anything that required grit
  • You can explain a complicated process clearly
  • You like solving physical-world problems (manufacturing, logistics, operations)
  • You get a weird amount of joy from spreadsheets
  • Ambiguity doesnt scare youbecause youll bring order to it
  • What You'll Learn

    Everything needed to become a future sourcing / supply chain leader, including :

  • How injection-molded packaging is made
  • How global manufacturing works (tooling, QC, freight, timelines)
  • How to negotiate with suppliers
  • How to run S&OP and forecasting
  • How to manage complex, multi-party production workflows
  • Youll work directly into Ops / Product leadership and learn end-to-end supply chain on Day 1.

    What We Offer

  • A mission-driven team reducing single-use waste at scale
  • Real ownership, real visibility, real responsibility
  • Growth paths into sourcing, planning, vendor management, or product ops
  • Competitive salary + benefits
  • The chance to build something that actually matters
  • Comp : $50-70k
