Director of Production & Supply Chain

About Speks

Hi, we’re Speks, a Brooklyn-based design company creating premium sensory products for teens and adults. We sell globally across wholesale, retail, and DTC, and we’re scaling fast.

Job Title

We’re hiring a Director of Production & Supply Chain to lead production, quality, and vendor strategy across our business.

This is not a coordinator role. You will own how we produce, scale, and deliver products globally, from factory floor to retail shelf.

What You’ll Own

Production

• Own end-to-end production across factories, SKUs, and channels
• Build and manage timelines that actually hold
• Identify risks early and solve them before they impact shipments

Quality

• Own QC across all products and vendors
• Set standards, manage inspections, and drive accountability
• Fix root causes, not just symptoms

Key Accounts (Walmart, Target, etc.) and Global Distributors

• Ensure production meets strict retailer and distributor requirements
• Own execution across packaging, labeling, testing, and timelines
• Be the internal expert on how to deliver for major retail

Vendors

• Manage and push factory partners, primarily in China
• Improve reliability, communication, and output
• Source and onboard new vendors as needed

Compliance

• Own product compliance across markets and retailers
• Ensure everything meets testing, labeling, and regulatory requirements
• Build systems so nothing slips

What We’re Looking For

• 8–12+ years in production, supply chain, or operations within consumer products
• Deep experience working with overseas factories
• Strong QC background and understanding of inspections and manufacturing realities
• Experience managing production for major retailers like Walmart or Target
• Familiar with compliance, testing, and packaging requirements
• Experience with global distribution is a plus

You’ve built or run this function before, not just supported it.

Who You Are

• You take ownership and don’t wait for direction
• You hold a high bar and push partners to meet it
• You are both strategic and detail-oriented
• You bring structure to fast-moving environments

Why This Role

• You will have real ownership over a critical part of the business
• Small team, fast pace, real product, global reach
• No layers, no bureaucracy
