- Partner with Creative, Growth, Member Experience, and Finance to turn each team’s needs into clear, actionable requests.
- Prepare and maintain cost sheets, sourcing reports, and a centralized vendor tracker.
- Flag delays, risks, or discrepancies early and follow through to resolution.
- Research and share ideas for improving packaging and merchandise quality at comparable cost.
- 0–2 years of experience in procurement, purchasing, supply chain, or a related field.
- Proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets, with the ability to build reports and analyze data.
- Strong organization skills and keen attention to detail, including managing multiple orders, timelines, and priorities at once.
- Clear communication with vendors and stakeholders, and skill in building strong working relationships across teams.
- A proactive approach, including noticing when information is missing or something needs attention and taking the next step.
- The ability to learn new systems, ask thoughtful questions, and apply feedback.
