Supply Chain & Product Manager - Vietnam

What We Do
GlobeCommerce is a tech-enabled vendor headquartered in New York City and operating remotely around the world. We make it easy for the world's best international suppliers to reach, partner, and transact with America's leading retailers - Costco, Target, Walmart, and TJX. Through modern technology, strong talent, and a global supplier base, we remove operational complexity and deliver better products at more compelling values to the end consumer.
Why Join
We are a team of seven, built around technology we develop in house. High performers are usually held back by slow systems, broken processes, and layers of approval. We have removed those. Our platform carries the structure and our AI tooling carries the volume, so our team spends its time on judgment, relationships, and decisions that move product.
We are continuously building better tools, and you will work directly with our software team to shape what comes next based on what you need in the field. We are looking for a builder, not a process follower. If you have ever felt you could accomplish far more without the friction of a large organization, this is what that looks like.
Why We're Hiring
We see Vietnam as the next major consumer goods supply market for the United States. The manufacturing capability is established, strong brands are emerging, and suppliers are ready to move up the value chain. This role is our first on the ground in Vietnam. As the business there grows, it has the potential to develop into a leadership role building out our Vietnam team.
Our central initiative is speed to market - and by that we mean product on the shelf. Our goal is to take a new product from first introduction to in-store in under 90 days: to the buyer's desk in one to two weeks, and through production, shipping, and receiving without losing time. Most of that time is won or lost in product, cost, packaging, and production decisions made close to the supplier. We are consolidating ownership of that entire path into one end-to-end role based in Vietnam.
Tasks
What You'll Do
Take newly signed Vietnamese brand partners from introduction to retailer-ready: specification, costing, packaging, compliance, and everything a buyer needs to approve the program
Own the operational path from approval to shelf - production timelines, shipment readiness, and coordination with our US fulfillment team - so product lands in stores as fast as possible
Own retailer compliance for your brand partners - packaging approval, sample and testing programs, inspections, and factory audits
Lead product development, cost, and production decisions for a portfolio of brand partners in Vietnam and other markets
Know your categories deeply - how products are used, how they compare to what's on shelf - and bring options to buyer conversations
Work through product and cost challenges alongside brand partner teams - driving the analysis, framing the options, and bringing decisions to closure
Partner with our software team to improve the tooling you use every day, and apply our platform and AI tools as leverage to run more programs, faster, than would otherwise be possible
You will report to our Senior Supply Chain Manager, based in Asia, and to our CEO in New York City. You will operate independently from the start; this is a hands-on role for someone who is a builder, not a manager.
Requirements
Who We're Looking For
Excellent written and spoken English - this is non-negotiable
6-15+ years in supply chain, sourcing, merchandising, product development, or production management for consumer goods - ideally home & housewares - at a brand, retailer sourcing office, factory, or trading company. How you work matters more than tenure
Experience working with large US retailers such as Walmart, Costco, Target, or TJX is a significant plus
Experience leading suppliers, partners, or cross-functional projects to outcomes - you will lead our brand partner relationships. Formal people management is a plus, not a requirement
Highly analytical and highly tech-savvy - you pick up new tools quickly and use them to full effect
A problem-solver who brings things to completion and raises concerns early
Strong project management: organized and detail-oriented, able to run multiple brand partners and many SKUs against fixed retailer timelines
Assertive and credible with supplier leadership while maintaining strong relationships
Technical education (industrial engineering, supply chain management, applied mathematics, or similar) is an advantage
How the Role Works
Hybrid role based in Ho Chi Minh City, with regular travel to suppliers across Vietnam
You will regulary work into the evening daily to allow a minimum of 3 hours of overlap with US East Coast hours, and will start later in the day Vietnam time. This is a strict requirement
Competitive base salary, a significant performance bonus tied to the wholesale volume you build, and equity in the company
What You'll Gain
Direct exposure to how Costco, Target, and TJX buy, from inside a US company
Real ownership of a market from day one, with the opportunity to grow into leadership as the Vietnam business scales
Fluency with AI as a working tool, in an environment where the technology is built around the work rather than added on top of it
