Supply Chain Assistant - Remote

Overview

The Supply Chain Assistant will play a key role in ensuring smooth operations across our inventory, supplier relationships, and shipment processes. This is a hands-on role for someone with a technical background (accounting or engineering preferred) who is eager to learn “nose to tail” about the business and become a core part of the team.

• Source and manage suppliers: issue RFQs, compare quotes/MOQs/lead times, place and track POs.
• Coordinate shipping (parcel/LTL/air/sea), compare transportation costs, and minimize landed cost.
• Maintain precise product weights & dimensions, packaging specs, and documentation (HS codes, customs forms).
• Update Shopify (SKUs/variants, shipping profiles, kits/bundles) and ensure data quality.
• Produce weekly reports/dashboards (sell-through, turns, weeks of cover, OTIF, backorders).
• Handle day-to-day email communications with vendors, 3PLs/carriers, and internal teams.
