Working closely with the Founders , external technology providers, manufacturers, suppliers and other stakeholders, you'll bring structure, visibility and accountability to the implementation process.

Your focus will be on delivering practical, fit-for-purpose solutions that work together seamlessly and can scale with the business.

• Experience implementing production tracking, workflow management or operational reporting solutions
• The ability to translate business requirements into clear system specifications and practical processes
• Experience coordinating external suppliers, technology providers and implementation partners
• Strong process mapping, testing, documentation and change management capabilities
• Confidence working directly with founders and senior decision-makers
• A hands-on, solutions-focused approach and the ability to manage multiple priorities

Experience in manufacturing, consumer goods, retail, wholesale, product development or supply chain environments will be highly regarded. Exposure in a DTC/e-commerce business model also well regarded.
