Founding Head of Strategic Sourcing & COGS Optimization
GNO Partners works with about 500 Amazon brands doing more than $1B in combined Amazon sales. We're launching a new division focused on one thing: reducing our clients' Cost of Goods. We're looking for a senior sourcing operator to build it with us from zero.
What you'll own
Working directly with our CEO and our brands, you will:
- Analyze COGS and build should-cost models to find where brands are overpaying
- Negotiate with current factories, benchmark alternatives and run RFQs
- Improve payment terms and MOQs, and find value-engineering savings
- Qualify new suppliers and reduce supply risk
- Build GNO's methodology and SOPs, then hire and lead the team under you
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

This is for you if
- You've personally negotiated with factories, ideally in China / Asia
- You can show savings you drove yourself, with real numbers

- You want to build something from zero, hands-on
- Experience at an Amazon aggregator, sourcing company or CPG brand is a big plus

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
This is not for you if
- Your background is mainly logistics, inventory, planning or indirect procurement (software, services, facilities)
- You've managed big budgets but rarely negotiated with a factory yourself
Why this role is different
You're not joining a department. You're building one. We already have the clients, the relationships and the distribution. You'll build the system that can save hundreds of brands millions of dollars, and become a founding leader of a new business unit inside GNO.
