Procurement & Supply Chain Manager

We're Free Soul - wellbeing for her, however she defines it. Because no two experiences are ever the same, and her path deserves to be as individual as she is. We shine a light on the unfiltered reality of being well - not the industry-standard version, but the honest, everyday pursuit of what makes her feel good.

How do we do it? By creating expertly formulated products with clinically tested ingredients that support every woman's unique needs.

Working at Free Soul is more than just a job - it's a purpose. We're a mission-led team where everyone genuinely cares about the impact we're making.

We lead with ownership - taking responsibility for our work, our ideas, and the energy we bring. Each person has the freedom and trust to run with bold ideas and be accountable for making them happen.

We show up with respect and kindness - to our teammates, our community, and ourselves. We listen. We celebrate differences. And we create a space where everyone feels seen and valued.

We're driven by a growth mindset - we stay curious, open to feedback, and committed to learning. Challenges are seen as opportunities, and we never stop evolving - as individuals, as a team, and as a brand.

We own the women's nutrition space by doing things differently - liberating, not restricting. We celebrate every side of her - the quirks, the flaws, the fierce and the tender. Our brand reflects her real, raw journey and gives her the freedom to show up exactly as she is.

That's what makes Free Soul a truly special place to work.
