Supervisor & Project Manager (Food Supply Chain Operations) - REMOTE

We are seeking experienced Virtual Professionals based in the Philippines. This is a fully remote opportunity for a Supervisor & Project Manager (Food Supply Chain Operations). Applicants who include a short introduction video with their application will receive priority consideration. Because this position operates in a remote environment, candidates must be comfortable participating in video meetings and maintaining clear verbal communication. **ROLE TITLE** **Supervisor & Project Manager (Food Supply Chain Operations)** **ROLE SUMMARY** This position is responsible for overseeing day-to-day operational execution across Cureate's food supply chain network, including buyer support, vendor coordination, onboarding activities, fulfillment management, and event logistics. This is not a traditional inbox management or message-forwarding role. You are accountable for ensuring that operational processes remain connected and functional from order placement through fulfillment, delivery, and customer experience. You will manage communication channels, address fulfillment issues, oversee onboarding completion, coordinate stakeholders, and ensure that operational commitments are tracked through completion. The environment is fast-moving and execution-focused. Priorities can change quickly, information may be incomplete, and operational decisions often need to be made before perfect clarity exists. Success in this role requires initiative, ownership, and sound judgment. Candidates who prefer detailed instructions before taking action, avoid operational problem-solving, or hesitate during time-sensitive situations are unlikely to thrive in this position. **CORE RESPONSIBILITIES (EXECUTION-DRIVEN OPERATIONS)** **1.

Order Fulfillment & Supply Chain Coordination (EXECUTION OVERSIGHT)** - Monitor active orders from confirmation through successful delivery - Identify discrepancies involving quantities, substitutions, timelines, pricing, invoices, or fulfillment commitments before they affect customers - Coordinate communication between buyers and vendors when operational issues arise - Resolve fulfillment challenges through clarification, coordination, rerouting, or confirmation of requirements before escalating - Maintain accurate system records that reflect actual operational status - Prevent gaps in order visibility and fulfillment tracking **3. Event Operations & Logistics Management (LIVE EXECUTION SUPPORT)** - Oversee operational execution of Cureate events from planning stages through completion - Coordinate schedules, materials, vendor readiness, logistics requirements, and stakeholder communication - Identify operational risks before events begin, including inventory shortages, scheduling conflicts, or unclear responsibilities - Respond quickly to live-event issues while minimizing disruption to the overall experience - Communicate clearly and professionally during high-pressure situations - Deliver a seamless experience for external partners regardless of internal operational complexity **3.
