Supply Chain & Operations Desk
Supply Chain & Operations Desk
This desk covers logistics, manufacturing, facilities and field operations — work where safety and throughput are measured every day, not reviewed every quarter. Each listing sets out the scope, the reporting line and the working conditions, because in these roles the conditions are the job.

What We Look For
Green Flags
- C-suite leadership with hands-on shop floor or field experience
- Hard, non-negotiable budgets for facility safety and maintenance
- Sustainable fulfillment KPIs that don't depend on chronic overtime
- Proactive maintenance infrastructure, not just reactive firefighting
Red Flags
- Chronic understaffing disguised as "Lean Operations"
- Leadership that manages by spreadsheet and never visits the floor
- "Aggressive growth" targets achieved by compromising safety protocols
- A reactive culture of constant firefighting due to disconnected logistical planning
These are the things we look for, and the things we flag, when writing a listing in this sector.
