About Libertine Blends
Libertine Blends is a premium RTD cocktail brand born in Barcelona. We make bar-quality cocktails — craft spirits, all-natural ingredients, alcoholic and non-alcoholic — in cans, without compromise on quality or flavour. We launched in 2024 and are now in active expansion across national and international markets including the UK.
We are a small, founder-led team at an early but critical stage of growth. This hire is central to what comes next.
The role
A hands-on, execution-focused position with end-to-end ownership of our operations: suppliers, production, warehousing and distribution. You will be the single point of accountability for everything between production and delivery — and equally responsible for building the operational infrastructure the business needs to scale.
We are looking for someone with 3 to 5 years of experience, capable of managing multiple workstreams simultaneously without supervision, and comfortable building structure while keeping day-to-day operations running.
Key responsibilities
Production & supply:
* Production planning across all SKUs, aligned with sales forecasts and demand signals
* Day-to-day coordination with our co-manufacturer: scheduling, quality control liaison, incident management
* Demand forecasting and S&OP alignment — integrating commercial pipeline, new market expansion and stock availability into a coherent plan
* Balancing product availability, operational efficiency and cash impact
* Purchasing of all packaging materials: cans, bottles, labels, closures, cases
* Supplier management: performance tracking, payment terms, contingency planning
Inventory, systems & data:
* Real-time inventory control across all SKUs and locations
* Define and maintain optimal stock levels; improve rotation and reduce shrinkage
* Stock commitment management: export orders, key accounts, reserved stock
* Build and own the operational toolset — inventory, order management, reporting — establishing a single source of truth across the business
* Loss, expiry and damaged goods management
Orders & logistics:
* End-to-end order management for national and international customers
* Carrier and 3PL selection, coordination and performance monitoring
* Coordinate international flows, particularly UK market operations
* Sample coordination for commercial and new market development
* Operational onboarding of new distributors and fill rate tracking
Finance & reporting:
* Purchase order and delivery note management
* Invoice coordination with finance
* Supplier and customer payment terms management
* Cost analysis per unit, transport and warehousing — understanding the operational impact on margins and cash
* Identify and act on cost optimisation opportunities
* Operational KPI dashboard and regular reporting to CEO
Process & continuous improvement:
* SOP documentation across all operational areas
* Design and implement process improvements across the supply chain
* Standardise operations to support scalability
* Operational support for new market entry: logistics setup, partner onboarding and local requirements
Requirements
* 3 to 5 years of hands-on experience in operations; background in FMCG, beverages or food is a plus
* Background in a scaling or early-stage company is valued — someone who can operate without established structure or support teams
* Experience with inventory control, purchasing, logistics coordination and supplier management is valued
* Experience working with distributor networks across more than one market is a plus
* Advanced Excel skills are essential — you will be expected to build and own stock models, operational trackers and reporting from scratch with no existing systems in place
* Fluent Spanish and excellent English, written and spoken — English is the primary working language across all international operations
Profile
* Highly autonomous — able to prioritise and execute without constant direction
* Obsessively detail-oriented; operational rigour is non-negotiable in this role
* Comfortable building processes where none exist
* Understands the commercial impact of operational decisions
What we offer
* Base salary: 30,000–40,000 € gross/year depending on experience
* Performance-based variable bonus linked to operational objectives
* Formal salary review at 6 months
* Phantom equity — economic rights linked to future valuation events
* Permanent contract from day one
