The Role: We are seeking an Operations Analyst who will serve as the connective tissue between data, systems, and supply chain operations.

You’ll help streamline workflows, build scalable processes, and ensure brand partners’ operations run smoothly. This is a high-visibility role reporting directly to leadership, with significant opportunity for growth as the company expands.

Key Responsibilities: Build and maintain interconnected Google Sheets workbooks, creating a single source of truth for inventory and operations.

What We’re Looking For: Advanced Google Sheets skills (index-match, query, array formulas, pivot tables; experience consolidating multi-sheet workbooks; bonus for app script or automation). CPG or supply chain operations experience (inventory management, demand planning, or production reconciliation preferred). Strong analytical mindset, able to move between 70% analytical / 30% tactical at first, then adjust as systems mature. Excellent communication skills; thrives in a fully remote, collaborative environment. Self-starter who’s resourceful, proactive, and comfortable juggling multiple accounts/projects at once. Flexible mindset—able to step outside your lane when the team needs it. 3+ years of relevant operations or supply chain experience preferred, but open to earlier-career talent with strong skills and drive. Bachelor’s degree is a plus, not required.
