- Hybrid role based out of our Sonoma, CA or Denver, CO office
Our purpose?
Glad you ask. In a nutshell, we’re all about making the world of wine a better place. We fund and source directly from independent winemakers to bring customers better quality wine for a better price. No thirsty middlemen as far as the eye can see.
It’s a different way of doing things, sure. But it works. We’re currently the largest online direct-to-consumer winery in the USA, shipping over 1 million(!) packs a year to curious wine lovers. And with an ambitious road ahead, we’ve got no plans on plugging the cork on growth.
Our global team (we have offices in the UK and Australia, too) is entrepreneurial by nature, obsessive about customer experience and driven by performance. All things that make Naked a great place to grow both personally and professionally. And yes, we like wine. A lot.
Your Purpose
This is not a traditional warehousing role.
As Head of Fulfillment Network & Logistics, you will own the strategy, performance, and evolution of Naked Wines’ global fulfillment network across the US and UK. This includes a distributed ecosystem of 3PL warehouse partners and last-mile carriers, not physical site ownership.
You’ll operate at the intersection of strategy, commercial decision-making, and operational execution, ensuring our network scales efficiently while delivering a best-in-class customer experience.
This role is best suited for leaders who have managed outsourced fulfillment networks and 3PL partners at scale. Candidates whose experience is primarily in on-site warehouse operations may find this role less aligned.
