About us
We're an early-stage, AI-first e-commerce company bringing great deals on consumer products — beauty, home, wellness, and more — to shoppers across the US. Our team is small, hands-on, and fast-moving. We're looking for ambitious people who want real ownership and the chance to build the business from the ground up.
About the role
We're hiring our first Operations Lead to build our supply engine from scratch — owning what we buy, how we hold it, and how it ships. This is a hands-on role with end-to-end ownership of sourcing, inventory, and fulfillment, working with a lean team and AI tooling rather than a large org.
What you'll be doing
- Manage sourcing and purchasing of physical goods for the U.S. market.
- Build and maintain relationships with suppliers, distributors, brokers, and inventory partners.
- Evaluate product opportunities based on cost, margin, quality, resale potential, and operational complexity.
- Own inventory tracking, purchase planning, stock visibility, and product handoff to sales channels.
- Coordinate with 3PL, warehouse, shipping, and logistics partners.
- Monitor key operational metrics: margin, inventory turnover, fulfillment cost, sell-through, returns, and supplier reliability.
- Build simple, scalable, AI-first processes for purchasing, inventory management, fulfillment, and reporting.
- Work closely with the founder on operational priorities and business execution.
What you'll need
- 3+ years in US e-commerce / physical consumer-goods / dropshipping operations, with real ownership of inventory and fulfillment.
- Strong understanding of physical goods operations in the U.S. market.
- 3PL management: SLAs, receiving, returns, carrier and fulfillment cost negotiation.
- Strong inventory and working-capital instincts — turnover, demand planning, cash efficiency.
- Data fluency — you can read a manifest, model a pallet's P&L, and live in spreadsheets.
- A 0-to-1 builder mindset — scrappy, high ownership, comfortable building from scratch in ambiguity.
- AI-first mindset and hands-on experience using AI tools at work.
