  • Own relationships with co-manufacturing partners while continuously evaluating Golden Child's long-term manufacturing strategy, including opportunities for dedicated capacity, vertical integration, and in-house production.

  • Partner with Culinary, Veterinary Nutrition, R&D, and Product to bring new physical products from concept to commercial production.
  • Own the operational commercialization process—including sourcing, costing, manufacturing feasibility, packaging, production trials, scale-up, and launch readiness.
  • Build and maintain rigorous quality and food-safety systems across Golden Child's supply chain.
  • Ensure every product meets Golden Child's internal standards as well as applicable regulatory, manufacturing, traceability, and food-safety requirements.
  • Create systems that protect quality as production volumes, suppliers, manufacturing partners, and distribution channels expand.
  • Build the systems and processes that allow Golden Child to scale without unnecessary complexity.
  • Own the operational technology stack across forecasting, purchasing, production, inventory, fulfillment, and supply-chain visibility.
  • Take an AI-forward approach to operations, identifying opportunities to automate workflows, improve forecasting and decision-making, and give the team real-time visibility into the business.
