Job Title : Director of Operations – CPG & Packaging

Location : Los Angeles, Hybrid Remote Role

Type : Full-Time

Industry : Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), Packaging

Travel : Domestic & International Travel Occasionally Required

About Us : sourceM is a rapidly growing product development and sourcing agency specializing in consumer-packaged goods and innovative packaging solutions. Our clients range from emerging startups to global brands, and we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality, technically intensive, and market-ready products with speed and precision.

The Role : We’re seeking an experienced operations leader who has directly managed teams and owned end-to-end execution within CPG and / or packaging environments. The role calls for a candidate that brings hands-on experience in global sourcing, product development, and quality / compliance, along with a proven ability to anticipate issues, solve complex problems, and build systems that prevent repeat challenges. This position reports directly to the Vice President of Operations and leads a team of product / project managers.

Just as important, this position requires a strong client-partner mindset—someone who can understand client perspectives, set clear expectations, and resolve issues thoughtfully while maintaining long-term, collaborative relationships.

Key Responsibilities :

🧠 Product Development

  • Manage and mentor a team of product / project managers
  • Partner with internal and external resources to ensure manufacturability and compliance from concept to launch
  • Evaluate materials, packaging formats, and production methods for feasibility, cost efficiency, and sustainability

📦 Sourcing & Supply Chain Management

  • Oversee global sourcing strategies and supplier relationships
  • Optimize logistics, inventory management, and cost efficiencies
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure warehousing, fulfillment and import operations run smoothly to ensure on-time, in-full (OTIF) seamless customer delivery

    • 🧪 Quality & Compliance Leadership

  • Enforce rigorous quality assurance and test protocols across all product categories
  • Ensure compliance with global regulatory standards (FDA, CPSC, REACH, Prop 65, etc.)
  • Oversee root cause analysis and the creation and implementation of corrective action plans
  • Lead product risk assessment reviews
  • Monitor vendor assessments
  • Assess projects for potential problems proactively avoiding them and / or quickly resolving them

    • 📊 Operational Excellence

  • Partner with the Vice President of Operations to build and refine SOPs, KPIs, and reporting systems to drive continuous improvement
  • Translate strategic initiatives into actionable operational plans with milestone tracking and accountability.
  • Provide regular performance reports highlighting risks and opportunities

    • What We’re Looking For :

  • 8+ years of experience in operations, quality, or supply chain roles within CPG, packaging, or manufacturing
  • Record of preventing and solving problems
  • Deep knowledge of product testing, regulatory compliance, and quality systems
  • Proven track record in global sourcing and logistics
  • Demonstrated ability to understand client perspectives, set clear expectations, and tactfully resolve issues in a manner that preserves strong, collaborative relationships.
  • Strong leadership, communication, and project management skills
  • Champion of AI / technology integration
  • Bonus : Experience with sustainability initiatives

    • Why Join Us?

  • Work with a passionate, collaborative team shaping the future of packaging and consumer products
  • Opportunity to help lead and scale operations in a high-growth environment
  • Competitive compensation, benefits, and room for advancement
  • Hybrid work environment of work from home three days a week and in our dedicated office at The Preserve (Hollywood, CA) two days a week

    • If you're a strategic thinker with a hands-on mindset and a passion for quality and innovation, we’d love to hear from you!

    Apply now and help us build the next generation of great products!
