About the Role

The Company is in search of an Interim COO / Operations Director to play a pivotal role in the European growth of its pioneering CBD skincare brand. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading the European logistics rollout, including the selection and negotiation with 3PL providers to ensure optimal service, cost, and reliability. This hands-on leadership position also involves designing efficient EU inventory flows and fulfillment processes to meet consumer demand and wholesale partnerships, as well as establishing operational SLAs and compliance frameworks for cosmetics distribution. The role requires a strategic yet hands-on operator who can build scalable systems and processes that align with the brand's expansion and commercial goals.

Applicants for this part-time, fractional role should have a proven track record as a COO or Operations Director in beauty, cosmetics, consumer goods, or closely related D2C / B2B industries. Strong expertise in international logistics, supply chain, and distribution, particularly within the EU market, is essential. The ideal candidate will have experience in scaling consumer brands across multiple countries and managing outsourced 3PL partners. A collaborative and commercially astute approach is necessary, as is the ability to work closely with a visionary founder. The position offers the opportunity to make a direct impact on the company's European growth story and to shape its operations for scale.
