🚀 The Vision: Building the Operating System for Product Creation

Since 2013, THE/STUDIO has been building the definitive operating system for product creation. We are combining modern SaaS technology with custom manufacturing to make producing physical goods as seamless, fast, and scalable as launching software.

We operate two core platforms: Customize Now (our best-in-class, on-demand manufacturing platform) and Source Anything (our new SaaS product that enables customers to seamlessly work with global factories beyond our own network).

We are a profitable, previously Silicon Valley-backed, fully remote company, and we are not just looking to improve manufacturing, we are looking for a visionary operator to help us truly revolutionize the global supply chain.

💻 The Role

We’re seeking proactive and highly organized Sourcing Representatives in China and South America to support our global manufacturing marketplace. In this role, you will play a key part in identifying and onboarding qualified factories, assigning RFQs (Request for Quotes), and ensuring quote turnaround times meet service level expectations. This is a fast-paced, detail-oriented position that requires persistence, excellent communication skills, and a strong grasp of local manufacturing landscapes.

What You’ll Do:

  • Source Factories: Identify and vet suitable factories in your region to fulfill RFQs across various product categories (e.g., apparel, accessories, packaging).

  • Assign RFQs: Assign RFQs to selected factories via our internal operations platform.

  • Follow Up for Submissions: Ensure factories submit quotes promptly by actively following up and providing necessary support.

  • Upload Quotes: If needed, upload quotes on behalf of factories that are unfamiliar with or unable to use the system.

  • Factory Onboarding: Guide factories through our onboarding process and ensure they are trained on how to use our platform.

  • Meet SLA Targets

  • Maintain Records: Keep clear documentation of factory status, submissions, and escalations in our CRM or tracking tools.

Why This Role Is Exciting:

  • Direct Access to Leadership: You will have the opportunity to work directly with our CEO and executive team, giving you high visibility, direct mentorship, and a seat at the table.

  • Product & Strategic Influence: We operate with flat hierarchies. Your daily insights from the ground level will directly shape our product roadmap, workflows, and company strategy.

  • Rapid Scale & Career Trajectory: We are growing rapidly. Joining us right now means high autonomy, minimal red tape, and massive room for personal and professional acceleration.

💡 The Profile We’re Looking For (Our Core Pillars)

Our Founder/CEO defines our top performers by three distinct traits. If this describes how you operate, you will thrive here:

  1. Raw Intelligence & Problem-Solving: High processing power, business acumen, and logical reasoning. You can think on your feet, connect complex ideas, and break down ambiguous problems quickly.

  2. "Give a Shit" Energy (Extreme Ownership): You take 100% accountability for your domain and outcomes. You don't make excuses or blame external factors. You look inward, find solutions, and push across the finish line.

  3. Rapid Adaptation & Radical Candor: You embrace blunt, constructive feedback and pivot instantly without ego. You excel in a fast-moving environment where you need to act with urgency without waiting for hand-holding.

About You:

  • Based in China, with strong understanding of local factory networks

  • Proficiency in English and either Mandarin or Spanish, depending on location

  • Prior experience in sourcing, procurement, supplier management, or logistics

  • Strong organizational and follow-up skills

  • Comfortable working independently in a remote environment

  • Ability to multitask, manage timelines, and meet strict deadlines

Nice to Have:

  • Experience working with RFQ systems or manufacturing platforms

  • Previous work with e-commerce brands, supply chain teams, or B2B marketplaces

  • High attention to detail and a proactive problem-solving mindset

💰 Compensation & Terms

  • Base: 7000-8000 RMB per month plus commissions (junior role!)

  • Engagement Type: Full-time, exclusive independent contractor role.

7,000–8,000 RMB/月 + 提成|100%远程|全职|全球化团队

工作地点: 中国境内,100%远程

工作时间: 以中国工作时间为主,需要与欧洲工作时间有部分重叠,以参加团队会议

合作形式: 全职、独立承包人(Independent Contractor)

🚀 这是一个适合初级人才的全球化采购岗位

你想进入全球供应链、跨境电商、海外品牌或制造业科技领域?

THE/STUDIO 正在寻找一名 Junior Sourcing Representative(初级采购代表),帮助我们开发和维护中国工厂资源,并推动全球客户的产品询价和报价流程。

这是一个初级、执行型岗位,不是采购经理或供应链管理岗位。

我们不会要求你已经拥有多年采购经验,也不要求你能够独立制定复杂的供应链战略。

我们更看重的是:

  • 你是否愿意学习

  • 是否擅长与人沟通

  • 是否能够主动跟进

  • 是否有较强的执行力

  • 遇到问题时是否会主动寻找解决方案

  • 能否在快节奏的环境中独立完成任务

如果你已经是一名资深采购经理、供应链经理,或者正在寻找管理岗位,这个职位可能并不是最适合你的下一步。

但如果你希望从实际业务开始,快速积累国际采购和供应链经验,这可能是一个很好的机会。

🌎 关于 THE/STUDIO

自2013年以来,THE/STUDIO 一直致力于打造产品生产领域的“Operating System”,通过结合现代 SaaS 技术与定制化制造,让实体产品的开发、采购和生产变得像软件上线一样高效、快速且可规模化。

目前,我们拥有两大核心平台:

Customize Now

我们的按需定制生产平台,帮助客户高效完成实体产品生产。

Source Anything

我们最新推出的 SaaS 产品,让客户能够连接并管理全球工厂,不再局限于我们自己的供应商网络。

THE/STUDIO 是一家盈利、曾获得硅谷资本支持、100%远程办公的全球化公司

我们的团队分布在美国、欧洲、亚洲、拉丁美洲等多个地区。

我们的目标不仅是改善传统制造流程,而是利用技术重新定义全球产品供应链。

💻 你会做什么?

作为 Junior Sourcing Representative,你会负责中国地区的工厂寻找、供应商沟通、询价跟进和工厂入驻

简单来说:

客户有产品需求 → 我们寻找合适的中国工厂 → 发出询价 → 跟进工厂报价 → 确保报价按时完成。

你会是整个流程中非常重要的执行者。

🔎 1. 寻找和筛选工厂

  • 根据产品需求寻找中国合适的工厂和供应商

  • 通过网络、行业资源、供应商平台等渠道开发新的工厂

  • 初步判断工厂是否符合产品需求

  • 不断建立和扩充自己的工厂资源库

  • 覆盖服装、配饰、包装等不同产品类别

不需要你一开始就拥有庞大的供应商资源。

我们更希望你能够快速学习如何寻找和判断合适的工厂。

📋 2. 处理 RFQ(询价)

当客户有新的产品需求时,你将:

  • 了解产品要求

  • 找到合适的工厂

  • 通过我们的内部系统发送 RFQ

  • 跟进工厂报价

  • 确保报价在规定时间内完成

你不需要自己负责复杂的采购谈判或供应链战略。

你的核心任务是:找到合适的人,并把事情推进下去。

📞 3. 跟进工厂

这是这个岗位非常重要的一部分。

很多工厂可能不会第一次联系就及时回复,因此你需要主动:

  • 微信联系

  • 电话沟通

  • 邮件跟进

  • 提醒工厂提交报价

  • 解答工厂在报价过程中遇到的问题

  • 对迟迟没有回复的工厂持续跟进

如果你喜欢与人沟通,并且不介意反复 follow up,这会非常适合你。

💻 4. 协助工厂使用平台

部分工厂可能不熟悉我们的系统。

你需要:

  • 指导工厂完成注册和入驻

  • 帮助他们理解平台操作流程

  • 必要时协助上传报价

  • 确保工厂能够顺利完成后续 RFQ

你会逐渐成为工厂和 THE/STUDIO 之间的重要沟通桥梁。

📊 5. 管理进度和记录

  • 跟踪 RFQ 和报价状态

  • 记录工厂沟通情况

  • 更新 CRM 和内部系统

  • 确保任务按照 SLA 和截止时间完成

  • 及时发现并升级无法解决的问题

这个岗位会同时涉及多个工厂和多个任务,因此组织能力和 follow-up 能力非常重要。

🎯 这个岗位适合谁?

我们尤其欢迎以下类型的候选人:

👩‍💻 初级采购 / 供应链人才

如果你有 1–3 年左右的采购、供应链、供应商管理或相关经验,希望进入更加国际化的环境,这个岗位非常适合你。

🌱 想转入全球供应链的人

如果你目前从事:

  • 采购

  • 供应商开发

  • 订单跟进

  • 外贸

  • 物流

  • 跨境电商

  • 工厂业务

  • 客户服务

并希望进一步进入全球化供应链和 SaaS领域,我们也欢迎你申请。

🚀 执行力强的新人

如果你工作经验不算丰富,但:

  • 学习速度快

  • 中文沟通能力强

  • 英文可以进行基本工作沟通

  • 不害怕打电话、发微信、跟进供应商

  • 做事主动

  • 能够自己解决问题

  • 对跨境电商、制造业或全球供应链感兴趣

我们同样欢迎你。

我们更在意你的潜力和工作方式,而不是简历上的职位级别。

🧠 我们最看重的 3 件事

我们的 Founder / CEO 对优秀员工有三个核心要求。

1. 学得快,能够解决问题

你不需要一开始就什么都会。

但当你遇到不知道的问题时,我们希望你能够:

先自己研究 → 找信息 → 尝试解决 → 必要时再寻求帮助。

我们喜欢能够快速理解新事物、举一反三的人。

2. 对结果负责

我们希望你是一个真正有责任心的人。

如果一家工厂没有回复,你不会只是说:

“我联系过了,但是他没有回复。”

你会继续想:

“我还能怎么联系?有没有其他联系人?是不是产品信息不够清楚?我什么时候再跟进?”

我们看重的是解决问题,而不是解释为什么事情没有完成。

3. 能够接受反馈并快速调整

这是一个快节奏的全球化创业公司。

你会收到直接、坦诚的反馈。

我们希望你能够:

  • 不把反馈当成个人攻击

  • 快速调整

  • 快速学习

  • 快速行动

你不需要等别人告诉你每一步应该怎么做。

⭐ 你需要具备什么?

必须具备:

  • 常驻中国

  • 中文流利

  • 具备工作所需的英文沟通能力

  • 有采购、供应商管理、工厂开发、外贸、供应链、物流或相关经验

  • 有较强的沟通和 follow-up 能力

  • 做事有条理,能够同时处理多个任务

  • 能够管理自己的时间和工作进度

  • 能够独立进行远程工作

  • 对细节有一定敏感度

  • 能够按时完成任务

⭐ 加分项:

  • 有中国工厂资源或供应商人脉

  • 有服装、配饰、包装等产品采购经验

  • 有跨境电商或海外品牌经验

  • 有 RFQ / 询价系统经验

  • 有 B2B 平台或 SaaS 工作经验

  • 有外贸经验

  • 有使用 CRM 或其他供应商管理系统的经验

没有以上所有经验也没关系。

这是一个 Junior-level position,我们会更关注你的学习能力、执行力和潜力

💰 薪资与合作方式

7,000–8,000 RMB / 月 + 提成

职位级别:Junior / 初级

工作形式: 100%远程

合作形式: 全职、独立承包人(Independent Contractor)

这是一个全职且需要独家投入的职位。我们希望你能够将主要精力投入 THE/STUDIO 的工作。

🌍 你能从这里获得什么?

国际化工作经验

你将与来自不同国家的同事合作,并直接接触全球供应链业务。

从实际业务中快速学习

你会参与真实的 RFQ、工厂开发、供应商管理和跨境业务,而不是只做理论性的培训。

更快的成长空间

作为一家快速发展的创业公司,你会有机会承担越来越多的责任。

如果你表现优秀,我们希望看到你的职责和成长空间随着能力一起扩大。

直接沟通,减少层级

我们的团队比较扁平。

你不需要经过很多层级才能提出一个问题或建议。

做得好的人,会很快获得更多责任。

The Company
HQ: Pasadena, CA
90 Employees
Year Founded: 2014

What We Do

We are building a company that could be equivalent in scale and relevance to Amazon. Sounds like an exaggeration — but let us explain how we view the market. Amazon and ecommerce in general have completely disrupted the "last mile"​ — from ordering products to getting those products delivered. But the "first mile"​ in the supply chain, where the product is actually produced, hasn’t changed in over a hundred years. In spite of that, its value is immense and only keeps growing. Fashion manufacturing alone is a $1.2Tn space. We're building an on-demand manufacturing platform that meets the needs of the 21st century and a social media economy. We bootstrapped our way to a $15M run rate and just closed a $10M Series A with a top-tier Silicon Valley VC. We believe we can create enormous value and literally change the world by making manufacturing accessible to everyone.
