Is supply chain back office?
I'm wondering if roles in supply chain/logistics/operations management are considered back-office jobs?

Supply chain/logistics/operations management is not really applicable to FO/BO "classifications".
Why do you care
just wanted clarification, didn't mean anything negative by it...
I know you wanted clarification.... but why?
FO / BO classifications only apply to companies whose products are services in which case those employees providing the services i.e. driving revenue are FO and those who support the people providing the services are BO. If the company produces a product rather than a service there are so many factors “driving revenue” (supply chain issues being one of them) but generally it’s dumb to try to assign FO / BO classifications.
^in my humble opinion
It is extremely dumb to assign FO/BO classifications in this topic (to OP).
However if we were to continue this dumb topic, I would argue that every business (even in the supply chain) has a purchasing and selling unit (front office) and a manufacturing/processing unit (back office).
BO/MO/FO typically refers to finance jobs at banks. Supply-chain is an operations role. The categorization doesn't even apply in this case.
