VP of Production & Supply Chain

This is not your typical Production & Supply Chain role. Your mission: deliver the right product, to the right place, at the right cost—without ever compromising on craftsmanship.

You’ll lead the engine behind our global product promise—on time, high quality, and flawlessly executed. Reporting to the COO, you’ll own the full supply chain—Most importantly, owning production of all products across our company. Production of all Suitsupply products, procurement of high end Italian fabrics, and the buying planning, and logistics engine that deliver the best customer experience in the industry.

In this strategic, hands‑on role, you’ll shape and execute our global supply chain vision. From optimizing sourcing and supplier partnerships to building a smarter IT backbone and driving operational excellence, you’ll steer the systems that power our growth. You’ll lead a global team of 50+ supply chain and production professionals and work cross‑functionally to bring every collection to life—efficiently, and always on brand.

Important: given the companies focus on mens tailoring and menswear, strong experience leading production for these or closely similar categories will be strictly necessary.

We are only considering candidates with substantial experience in apparel production. We can not consider applicants with predominately logistics experience, or from non apparel industries.

This role is based in Amsterdam with significant international travel. Full relocation support is available.
