Sr Supply Chain Coordinator USD-Remote

📍 Location: Remote🕒 Schedule: Full-time | Overlapping Eastern & Pacific Time (our team spans both coasts)💰 Compensation: USD
OverviewWe're hiring our first-ever Operations Coordinator. This isn't a slot in an existing team; it's a net-new, individual contributor role reporting directly to the Head of Operations, with real ownership from day one.
You'll take full end-to-end control of PO processing and inventory management, working hand-in-hand with our fulfillment center (EST-based) to keep product moving flawlessly from manufacturing to shelf. That frees up our Head of Operations to focus on strategy, while you own the execution.
There's no team to manage here, and that's by design. Your growth path isn't about headcount, it's about scope. As you prove out the fundamentals, you'll be looped into bigger, more strategic conversations across the business. As our first operations hire, you're not just filling a role you're building the playbook the entire ops function will run on as we scale.
