The Role

We’re hiring an Sourcing Analyst 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.

Ensure supplier partnerships are aligned with SIMPLi’s standards around regenerative agriculture, ethical labor, and long-term resilience.
