Operations Manager

About the Company

OMRE, meaning “lifespan” in Farsi, exists to build one of the defining longevity brands of our generation. We create science-backed supplements designed to improve healthspan, not just lifespan. In just over two years, we have reached global scale, with the USA as our primary market
, strong product-market fit and a highly engaged customer base. We are now entering our next phase: scaling aggressively while maintaining efficiency, profitability and brand integrity.

We are hiring an Operations Manager to take ownership of our inventory, supply chain and operational efficiency. You will ensure we have the right amount of stock, in the right place
, at the right time across Amazon, our warehouses and retail partners. You will manage purchasing and production with manufacturers in the US and China
, forecast demand, monitor finished goods and packaging inventory, and work closely with Marketing to anticipate changes in sales. You will also work closely with Finance to monitor costs, improve COGS and identify operational efficiencies that improve gross margin. Above all, this is a role for someone who is exceptionally reliable, diligent and organised. You double-check important work, follow things through to completion and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
