Job Description

About us

Vow is a cultured meat company on a mission to feed billions and create food that’s good for your tastebuds, your health and your planet.

We’re bringing together cutting edge innovations in science, engineering, culinary and design to create new meats that meat lovers can choose selfishly because it’s nutritious and delicious, and we’re doing so in a sustainable way.

The role:

Vow is hiring for a Global Logistics Manager. In this role, you’ll spearhead Vow’s global logistics strategy, shaping distribution, transportation, packaging, and warehousing to support our rapid scale from startup to industry leader. You’ll collaborate with top-tier distributors, design cutting-edge transportation and warehousing solutions, and drive packaging innovation—all while optimizing for cost-efficiency, regulatory compliance, and sustainability. Leading a world-class logistics team, you’ll ensure flawless execution across markets, empowering Vow to deliver its products globally with unmatched speed, accuracy, and quality.

The experience/skills you will bring:

  • Proven experience building logistics processes from scratch in a company transitioning from R&D to full-scale production.
  • Strong background in international logistics, with experience managing complex products with strict regulatory requirements.
  • Expertise in Lean, Six Sigma, and continuous improvement, with a data-driven approach to demand forecasting and efficiency improvements.
  • Skilled in budget management, contract negotiation, and logistics software (ERP, WMS, TMS).
  • Exceptional communicator and team leader, with a strategic mindset and adaptability to new technologies and market shifts.

You will:

  • Distributor Strategy: Collaborate with marketing to expand Vow’s global reach by partnering with top-tier distributors and executing a distribution strategy that balances in-house operations with outsourcing.
  • Transportation: Select carriers, negotiate rates, and optimize routes, ensuring efficient, compliant, and agile transportation for global markets.
  • Packaging: Design innovative, sustainable packaging solutions that protect products and enhance branding, while driving automation for scalability.
  • Warehousing: Develop an optimal warehousing strategy, balancing insourcing and outsourcing, maximizing efficiency, and leveraging data-driven systems to improve inventory management.
  • Leadership: Lead and mentor a world-class logistics team, driving operational excellence and supporting Vow’s global growth.

What success looks like:

  • 3 Months: Establish the logistics strategy, implement key systems, and initiate partnerships to build a scalable global operation.
  • 6 Months: Scale operations through pilot tests, finalize critical contracts, and begin executing cost-saving and compliance initiatives.
  • 12 Months: Build a world-class logistics function, seamlessly shipping products globally with precision, scalability, and cost-efficiency, supporting Vow’s mission to become the largest food company in the world.

Who we are and why join:

  • We are building a diverse, mission-led dream team of “Vowzers.” Our mission is to make food products for everyone. To do that well we need a workforce that’s representative of the people we serve. We celebrate multiple approaches and points of view - so we’re building a culture to match. Be yourself and come as you are.
  • Work on cutting-edge technology. We’re bringing together cutting-edge innovations in science, engineering, and food, to recreate the world’s most tantalising and unique culinary experiences. All without compromising on ethics or our planet along the way. Since our inception in 2019, we have held the title of being the first startup to cultivate meat from the cells of an undomesticated animal, been called The Spaceship of the cultured meat industry by Forbes and launched our first product under the brand Forged in some of the hottest restaurants in Singapore.
  • Work with and learn from the best. Our team includes some of the world’s top scientists, innovators, operators, and creatives with decades of industry experience. Despite our experiences though, we all strive to build, break, learn, and repeat. We see the impossible as temporary and strive to learn and support our company and fellow Vowzers' growth as much as possible.
  • We’re fully funded and ready to go. We are a growing Aussie biotech start-up backed by Blackbird Ventures, Square Peg Capital, Grok Ventures, Tenacious Ventures, P7 Ventures, Toyota Ventures, and PeakBridge VC.

Vow perks and benefits:

  • Everyone is an owner. In addition to competitive base salaries, each and every ‘Vowzer’ owns equity in the company so we can all benefit from our hard work and future success.
  • Generous paid parental leave. We offer 8 weeks of paid caregiver leave and an additional 8 weeks paid leave for the birth giver.
  • Generous relocation budget & support. Support for interstate or overseas team members and their families.
  • Unlimited personal leave. At Vow we recognise that sometimes sh*t happens. We don’t want you to stress about work when you need to deal with an emergency or are struggling with something truly difficult. We offer unlimited personal leave to empower you to truly bring your best self to work every single day.
  • Heaps of tasty samples from our culinary centre. Our fantastic "food inventors" on the Vow team are always cooking up new product prototypes, and all Vowzers are given the opportunity to taste, give feedback, and learn from their culinary prowess.
  • An awesome converted warehouse “campus” in Alexandria. Complete with a glass-walled lab, 2 factories, shower and towel service, bike rack, free snacks, a culinary centre and plenty of collaboration and chill zones.
  • Human and dog friendly office! An inclusive community and culture, in a welcoming office, complete with friendly “Vowzer” dogs!
  • A variety of social clubs. We encourage all our Vowzers to build the culture with us and share what you love by creating social clubs across the business. From book clubs to hiking groups, we’re always looking for ways to learn and engage with our team.
