ZipRecruiter
Overview
Life Space Digital is redefining the Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) space by transforming elevators and shopping malls into dynamic, data-driven media platforms. Our displays create new engagement opportunities for property owners, tenants, and advertisers - integrating premium content, building communications, and real-time analytics. We’re scaling from pilot to enterprise deployments across marquee properties, requiring strong operational leadership to ensure seamless activations and best-in-class tenant engagement. We are seeking a Director of Supply Chain who will own Life Space Digital’s end-to-end supply chain strategy and execution. From forecasting and procurement through logistics, warehousing, packaging, and last-mile delivery, you will build a scalable supply chain operation that balances cost, quality, and speed. You will work cross-functionally with Finance, Product, Field Operations, and vendor partners to ensure the right equipment arrives at the right place, at the right time, every time. This is a hands-on builder role: you will architect systems, establish vendor partnerships, and implement best practices to support a rapidly expanding hardware and installation footprint. Responsibilities
Forecasting & Planning
– Develop demand forecasting models tied to sales pipeline, deployment schedules, and vendor lead times. Maintain just-in-time inventory to minimize capital lock-up and obsolescence. Procurement & Supplier Management
– Source, negotiate, and manage global vendor relationships (hardware, packaging, logistics, warehousing). Establish volume-based contracts, tiered pricing, and SLA-driven agreements. Create and manage supplier scorecards for cost, quality, and delivery performance. Logistics & Distribution
– Oversee global logistics from factory to U.S. port, including freight forwarders and customs. Manage domestic distribution: port drayage, inland trucking, and regional warehousing hubs. Optimize last-mile delivery to mall and elevator installation sites, ensuring just-in-time delivery aligned with install crews. Packaging & Equipment Handling
– Lead packaging design strategy to maximize container efficiency, reduce damage, and cut costs. Establish reverse logistics process for RMAs, disposals, and equipment returns. Quality Assurance / Quality Control
– Implement inbound/outbound QC processes at factories and warehouses. Ensure compliance with international shipping standards (ISTA, ISPM-15, UN3481 for batteries). Systems & Process Ownership
– Select and implement MRP/inventory management system, integrating with Finance for COGS and forecasting. Develop SOPs and playbooks for supply chain, packaging, and logistics workflows. Collaboration & Leadership
– Partner with Finance on budgeting, ROI validation, and cash flow planning. Support Field Ops with reliable equipment flow to installations. Build and mentor a high-performing supply chain team as operations scale. Who you are
– 8+ years of progressive experience in supply chain, logistics, or operations (hardware, electronics, or capital equipment strongly). Proven success managing international supply chains (China/Asia to U.S.) at scale. Deep knowledge of freight forwarding, customs clearance, and domestic U.S. logistics. Experience with packaging optimization and industry standards for electronics transport. Strong background in ERP/MRP or inventory management systems. Track record of vendor negotiation and cost-down initiatives. Excellent analytical, organizational, and cross-functional communication skills. Startup or high-growth environment experience. The pay range for this position is $140,000 - $170,000; however, base pay offered may vary depending on job related knowledge, skills, candidate location, and experience.
