About For Youth

For Youth is a Singapore-founded longevity performance brand, backed by Antler and operating across Singapore and APAC.


With more than 150,000 products sold, we’ve built a growing regional business around science-backed products for healthier ageing. Our mission is to help people stay strong, sharp and unstoppable, for life — giving them more from the decades ahead.


We’re now strengthening our operations team to support the next stage of growth.


The role

We’re looking for a Head of Operations to take ownership of the operational side of For Youth and help build a company that can scale reliably across products and markets.


You’ll work closely with the founder and leadership team across supply chain, logistics, regulatory coordination, international operations and product launches.


This is a hands-on leadership role. We’re not looking for a seasoned corporate COO, but we are looking for someone smart, commercially minded and experienced enough to take real ownership, improve how things are done and increasingly take operational responsibilities off the founder’s plate.


You should be comfortable both building the system and getting involved in the details when needed.


Main Responsibilities

  • Own supply chain and inventory planning, working with suppliers and manufacturers to improve availability, forecasting and operational reliability

  • Manage and improve our 3PL, logistics and fulfilment setup, together with our Operations & Customer Service Executive

  • Coordinate regulatory processes across markets, working with external advisors to keep requirements, documentation and timelines on track

  • Lead the operational side of international expansion, including logistics, fulfilment, regulatory coordination and other market-entry requirements

  • Drive the operational execution of new product launches, coordinating production, testing, packaging, freight and launch readiness

  • Build stronger processes, systems and operating routines while identifying risks, inefficiencies and bottlenecks as the company grows

  • Manage external suppliers, service providers and operational partners

  • Become the go-to person for operational execution across the business and progressively reduce the amount of operational work that depends on the founder


Key Requirements

  • At least 5 years of experience in operations, supply chain, e-commerce or a related role within a consumer business

  • Strong project-management skills and the ability to manage multiple international stakeholders and workstreams independently.

  • Experience working with suppliers, manufacturers, 3PLs or logistics partners

  • Strong analytical and commercial instincts, including an understanding of inventory, cost, cash flow and growth

  • Hands-on experience with operational software and automation tools, ideally including Shopify, Airtable and Make.com, or comparable e-commerce, workflow/database and automation platforms

  • Highly organised, pragmatic and hands-on, with a track record of improving processes rather than simply maintaining them

  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment and creating structure where needed

  • Experience in supplements, health, beauty, food, e-commerce or another regulated consumer category would be particularly relevant.

  • Experience with international operations or regulatory processes would be a strong advantage.
