Cross-Functional & Systems Improvements: Collaborate with Product and Engineering to translate operational needs into technical specifications for our routing, inventory, and order-management systems.
5+ years of experience in on-demand supply chain, manufacturing, vendor operations, or e-commerce fulfillment.

Vendor Management: Proven track record of managing third-party manufacturers/3PLs, enforcing SLAs, and running quarterly business reviews.
Cross-Functional Leadership: Ability to translate complex supply chain trade-offs to product managers, engineers, and executive stakeholders.
Peak Season Experience: Experience navigating high-volume e-commerce seasonality, especially with on-demand D2C fulfillment.
