This is a hands-on, high-volume role. You’ll coordinate directly with vendors on shipping schedules, manage freight forwarder partnerships, keep our ERP accurate on cost and timing for every PO, maintain records, and partner with warehouse and operations leadership to keep receiving and inventory tight.
