The posting

The Sourcing and Production Manager plays an essential role in bringing Exploding Kittens games and products to life. In this role, you’ll manage production schedules, purchase orders, costs, materials, and manufacturing timelines across multiple concurrent projects. You’ll serve as the primary point of contact between our manufacturing partners and internal teams, keeping projects organized and moving toward successful, on-time delivery.

The ideal candidate is a highly organized project manager and confident communicator who can balance competing priorities without losing sight of the details. You understand how materials, manufacturing methods, costs, and timelines affect one another, and you’re comfortable identifying practical solutions that protect both product quality and the business.

If you love turning creative ideas into physical products, enjoy building strong relationships with manufacturing partners, and know how to keep complex projects on track, you’ll fit right in.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for manufacturing partners and internal stakeholders across assigned games and products
  • Develop and manage strategic production schedules, purchase orders, milestones, and delivery timelines
  • Monitor project execution and proactively address risks that could affect cost, quality, or on-time delivery
  • Manage and maintain accurate Bills of Materials, technical packs, requests for quotation, and supplier quotations for new and existing products
  • Conduct cost analyses and negotiate with manufacturers and suppliers to secure competitive pricing and favorable production terms
  • Recommend materials and manufacturing methods that improve quality, efficiency, and cost performance
  • Coordinate closely with internal teams, including Creative, Marketing, and Sales, to align production requirements and launch timelines
  • Oversee multiple projects simultaneously, ensuring tasks and deliverables are completed accurately and on schedule
  • Track production performance against cost, delivery, and project-management goals
  • Identify opportunities to improve sourcing, production, and supply-chain processes from development through cargo-ready date

WHAT WE NEED

  • Experience in sourcing, production, manufacturing, supply-chain management, or a related field
  • Strong project-management skills, with the ability to plan and oversee multiple projects and deadlines at once
  • Experience working directly with manufacturers, suppliers, and cross-functional internal teams
  • Proven negotiation and cost-analysis skills, including the ability to identify savings without compromising product quality
  • Working knowledge of supply-chain operations, logistics, inventory considerations, and production scheduling
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to maintaining high quality standards
  • Strong organizational and problem-solving abilities, with a proactive approach to identifying and resolving production challenges
  • Strategic thinking and the ability to balance immediate project requirements with longer-term business goals
  • Flexibility and adaptability in a fast-moving environment where priorities may evolve
  • Proficiency with Google Workspace, Microsoft Excel, order management systems, and project-management tools
  • Experience with games, toys, consumer products, packaging, or printed goods is a plus

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
