Rebl Eats is building the next generation food-to-go brand (www.rebleats.com). Founded four years ago, the company is having a really strong momentum and growing fast in Finland while kicking-off international expansion, so it’s the right time to expand the team once again.
Today, we create sustainable ready-to-eat meals and snacks, available in supermarkets and food delivery. Rebl Eats has already sold more than 4 million products across Finland and is now live in Sweden, with Denmark in the pipeline next. The company is backed by Wolt founder Elias Aalto, among other prominent investors and has been selected in Slush 100’s iconic competition 2024. You might also have seen us in the investment TV-show “Leijonan Luola” and more recently, winning the 2025-26 season of Suomalainen Menestysresepti with Shalaatti.
We are now looking for a Head of Supply Partners to lead and scale our production and ingredient partner ecosystem as we grow into new product lines and markets. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a fast-growing yet rock solid start-up in one of the most exciting growth stages: the international scaling step.
As Head of Supply Partners, you will own and develop Rebl Eats’ network of production and ingredient partners. Your mission is to ensure we have the right partners, contracts, and supply chain capabilities in place to support rapid growth, maintain high quality standards, and optimize costs as we scale.

Your everyday work will be centered around three main areas:
Partnership management. You will manage the relationship with our contract manufacturers and suppliers on a day-to-day basis. This includes strategic contract negotiations to ensure the best quality and prices possible at all times, and collaboration to solve challenges when those arise. You will also source, assess and negotiate with new production partners for new product lines.
Procurement & operations processes. You own the relationship with our ingredient partners and lead new ingredient sourcing from start to finish. You will also play a role in developing and strengthening our supply chain processes and systems, to ensure we are ready to scale.
Project Management and leadership. In New Product Development projects, you will take ownership of the operations aspects of the launch, and make sure the whole supply chain is synched to produce and bring the new products on the market on time (from production, prices, quality, to storage and logistics).
What you need to succeed:
A strong commercial/financial mindset combined with people & relationship building skills
Being able to take into account the big picture and the overall strategy, to handle operations aspects and negotiations in a holistic way.
Strategic and critical thinking, to understand how different aspects connect (commercial, financial, ops, product)
A solid optimization mindset and strong project leadership skills
The skills we are after:
You are an optimizer at heart, who loves the challenges of a scaling phase
You take ownership to simply make things happen.
You are an Excel and data analysis wizard who also loves working with ERP systems
You are a structured project lead, detail oriented and precise
You are a proactive problem solver, who is not afraid to get their hands dirty
Good communication skills, energy and positive can-do personality will also be valued
You are fully proficient in Finnish (to manage Finnish partners) and in English (team language)
Your previous experience:
Several years experience in strategic operations, finance, business control, management consulting, or another relevant field
Experience from procurement, managing suppliers, production and manufacturing partners, or strategic vendor relationships is highly valued
Experience working cross-functionally, taking into account product, sales, finance, supply chain and ops partners
