Sourcing Manager

Company Description

SIMPLi is a leading regenerative food brand founded in 2020 by Sarela Herrada and Matt Cohen. Our mission is to connect people worldwide through the joy of food by bringing the best single-origin ingredients directly to consumers. We partner directly with farmers to source the finest ingredients, ensuring benefits for people, producers, and the planet. SIMPLi's products are accessible nationwide in stores, restaurants, and online.

Role Description

We’re hiring our first Global Sourcing Manager to own and optimize the entire value chain of our global ingredient and packaging supply network. This is a foundational leadership role tasked with building our sourcing function from the ground up — creating visibility, accountability, and long-term resilience across every one of our supply chains.

This person will be both strategic and hands-on, responsible for understanding how our supply chains work in practice, identifying risks and inefficiencies, and proactively building sourcing strategies that improve margin, ensure consistency, and align with SIMPLi’s regenerative values. This position requires 3 in-person workdays, so any candidate must be located within the Philadelphia Metro area.
