Why High Growth CPG Brands Need the Right Supply Chain and Operations Recruiters More Than Ever
In today’s fast moving consumer packaged goods landscape, it feels like every week brings a new headline about AI transforming supply chains or sustainable packaging reshaping operations. At Consumer Connection, we work in CPG every day, so we see how quickly these shifts affect hiring, team structure, and the speed brands need to move.
That is why brands partner with us as supply chain and operations recruiters. We understand what modern CPG companies are up against, including volatility, SKU expansion, retailer pressure, and the push to operate leaner, faster, and smarter. When the right leader is missing, planning suffers, costs rise, and growth slows.
AI driven supply chain optimization is now a real hiring priority. AI is becoming the backbone of forecasting, demand planning, logistics routing, and visibility across the supply chain. Many CPG brands want the benefits, but they do not have the internal talent to implement the tools and lead the change. That is where we come in. We are seeing strong demand for demand planning leaders with AI tooling experience, supply chain analysts skilled in predictive modeling, operations leaders who can implement integrated digital systems, and senior operators who can scale automation while protecting margins. We recruit these profiles because we stay close to the CPG talent market and we know what good looks like in real world operations.
Sustainable packaging and operational efficiency are also driving hiring. Sustainability is no longer optional for retailers, investors, or consumers. Operations teams are expected to reduce waste, improve sourcing transparency, optimize production lines, strengthen supplier partnerships, and hit sustainability goals while still growing. We recruit supply chain and operations leaders who can balance sustainability expectations with performance, cost, and execution.
Brands continue choosing Consumer Connection because we specialize in CPG. We do not spread across unrelated industries. We focus on supply chain, manufacturing, logistics, and operations hiring, and we understand the realities behind retailer timelines, copacker constraints, freight shifts, inventory pressure, and scaling into more doors. Our job is to make hiring simpler and smarter so your team can stay focused on growth.
As supply chain and operations recruiters, we support hiring across supply chain management, demand and supply planning, procurement and strategic sourcing, logistics and distribution, manufacturing and operations leadership, quality and regulatory, continuous improvement, and coman and copack oversight. We also help brands think through org structure and talent pipelines so hiring supports both today’s needs and the next stage of growth.
If your high growth CPG brand needs supply chain and operations recruiters who understand the industry and act like a true partner, we are ready to help. We will connect you with the leaders who can take operations from reactive to reliable, scalable, and strong.
